Title: avacyn, planeswalker or legend?

so i think it's safe to say that avacyn will be printed as a card in the upcoming set. but the real question is whether she will be printed as a legendary creature or a planeswalker.



My thoughts...there has been a planeswalker printed in every set since lorwyn, so why wouldn't avavyn restored be any different? But, it hasn't ever been specified that avacyn is a planeswalker, and unless sorin pulled an urza and created a planeswalker i really don't think she will be printed as one. i personally think it would be cool if she was printed as a legend.



just wondering what you guys think.

yeah legend. Even though sorin predates the time spiral crisis by a lot I don't think he was ever at Urza levels

If there is a planewalker I doubt it will be her. The angel was created by sorin and it has been noted artifical beings can not be created with a spark.
Urza never created a planeswalker, long after his creation karn absorbed urza into himself, essentially gaining urzas spark and later vensers. I can't picture them doing the same thing again so soon

my only question is who is going to be the planeswalker?

and personally i think that urza was underpowered in the fiction.

I think Avacyn will be a legend, however the question that I have is whether she will mono-white, or perhaps WB like Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. The art that we've seen for her show that she is wearing a lot of black, and doesn't exactly look like a definitive white angel, like Reya Dawnbringer, for example.

As for planeswalkers, some people on MTGSalvation think that Dack Fayden will show up in AVR as a UR planeswalker. Kiora Atua doesn't fit with Innistrad, and some people think that Ral Zarek will only show up if we ever return to Ravnica. Another suggestion was that Sarkhan comes back to do something with the many dragons that are in Innistrad. Also, I believe that from a storyline standpoint, he is following Liliana.

Either way, can't wait for AVR! The use of the word "Restored" in the set name leads me to think that Avacyn et al. may end up back in the Helvault, IE re-stored. There is also the possibility that Avacyn is not the symbol of hope that everyone thinks she is, and that Innistrad too will go to hell in a handbasket, just like Zendikar and Mirrodin.

i'm hoping for her to be a three color legend, such as white blue black.

and i've heard rumors of jace being a possibility.

I used to like Jace, but then they printed 3 versions of him.

I'm personally expecting a plot twist. Something like OMG Avacyn and Griselbrand are one in the same. She just became twisted and corrupt due to all the religious power. And now the creator must face his creation, but what shall come of it? For it is the nature of man to create monsters and the nature of monsters to kill their makers.

Isn't it the nature of man to kill nature? That's quite the conundrum.

Tarmogoyf, Planeswalker

+10: Target player loses the game.
-0: You win the game.
-1: Target player gives you $500 so you can pay for more ridiculously expensive Tarmogoyf, Planeswalker cards.
-5: Everyone else gives you their decks. Congrats, you're a douchebag.

I hate the idea of rules on what and who can become a planeswalker. We're talking Magic here. I mean if Sorin can have a spark and he's a soulless monster and Karn can have a spark, a lump of rock, then I think it's safe to say that the next Planeswalker will be a hunk of broccolli. Maybe lettuce.

You seem to think that having a spark has anything to do with how "good" a character is...!

Sorin, Tezz, and Nicol Bolas have sparks, theyre all "evil!

Karn was created by Urza, and absorbed some of his spark!

Of you are refer to sarkhan no he still works for bolas. If you are refering to yawgmoth still no he was imprisioned during the whole invasion thing. Urza via Karn and the legacy weapon killed yawgmoth

Maybe Hasbro will draw on its other resources. A pony planeswalker or perhaps a transformer with the spark.

I want to see something like....

Mimeoplasm, Evolutionary Incarnate   2UG

Planeswalker- Mimeoplasm

+2: Search target players library for a creature card and place it in that player's graveyard.

-1: Place X +1/+1 counters on target creature where X is the number of creature cards in all graveyards.

-5: Exile all creatures from graveyards then put an X/X Ooze token onto the battlefield where X is 2 times the number of cards exiled this way.

Loyalty: 3

PS: And before anyone asks why? LET ME CLARIFY!

BECAUSE SCREW LASSIE THAT'S WHY!!!

If they made a pony Planeswalker, it would make many people quit Magic. Hasbro doesn't want that. . .

They need to make an undead Planeswalker. Like undead sexy skeleton or something.

The planeswalkers name is dak or something...! There's also the merfolk lady that they havent put in a core set yet!

And we already have a sexy planeswalker, liliana of the veil! She taps for infinite white mana! And shes too big to fit in a coreset!

If you're going to think Planeswalker then you should have one created for each kind of deck that was famous in the path and corresponding abilities.

Counter, Weenie, Land Destruction, Control, artifact, elf and a lot of those are already out. I'm just waiting for the 0 casting cost Khobold Planeswalker. ;)
