TypicalTimmy on When did you start playing, …

2 years ago

My very first deck was a 5-color, 84 card monstrosity with like 27 lands, mostly dual Scry lands from Theros hahaha

I still recall my first slew of mythics was Keranos, God of Storms, Iroas, God of Victory and Aurelia, the Warleader.

I took this pile of unsleeved headaches to my buddy's house and he cracked out this Rakdos kill-on-sight deck where nothing you played lasted more than the phase it entered in.

I got so pissed off that I almost quit a third time, lol. So he taught me about mana curve, pips, ramp, etc.

I discovered Satyr Hedonist and Generator Servant as well as Elvish Mystic. I discovered Planeswalkers after I pulled a Chandra Nalaar and went to my LGS and found Xenagos, the Reveler.

See the Unwritten and Howl of the Horde became staples in my deck and I would ramp into big cheats and drop the biggest of bois and give them haste and kill the table in one shot.

I quickly fell in love with Dragons because they were big dumb unlockable bodies.

Then, like I said, I pulled a Savage Ventmaw from one of the starter decks and my mind exploded.

Ever since, whenever I can play big dumb monsters, I do. For example, Ghired, Conclave Exile is largely considered hot garbage. And yet, he's one of my favorites.

Ever consider putting in the original Chandra Nalaar?

Outside of lore, I think the designers are trying to create more focused and "niche" planeswalkers. Chandra Nalaar and other early Chandras were basically Burn Deck, the Planeswalker. Jace Beleren and other early Jaces were Draw-Go, the Planeswalker. The umbrella archetypes got covered pretty quickly.

Since a) all the broad bases have already been covered and b) all planeswalkers are supposed to get a unique gimmick, the gimmicks have gotten progressively gimmick-ier. After a while, that system's going to produce a planeswalker that specifically supports control with a -1/-1 theme and cockatrice iconography, or mono- Elemental tribal based around combat quartz crystals, or something.

Vaat Le'naar, Spark-Shaper

Legendary Planeswalker - Vaat

Planeswalker spells you control cost less to cast.

+2 Scry 4 and reveal the top card of your library. If it's a Planeswalker or a land, you may play it and spend any color mana to do so. Otherwise put it into your hand.

0 Add two in any combination of , , , , or . Spend this mana only to cast Planeswalker spells.

-5 You may activate loyalty abilities of Planeswalkers you control an additional time until end of turn.

-X Add X loyalty counters divided as you choose among any number of other Planeswalkers you control.

Vaat Le'Naar, Spark-Shaper can be your Commander.

Obviously his name evokes Chandra Nalaar's. I imagine he too is from Kaladesh and that this is a common naming convention among their people.

Likely not enough room on the card for 6 fields lmao but hey, shrug?

Chandra, Novice Pyromancer, Chandra Nalaar and Chandra Ablaze could help you add even more Chandra power. Burning Earth is another great way to add more non-combatants damage, especially since minored relies so much on basic mountains. Embermaw Hellion will also help you do more damage. Blood Moon is great, but kinda mean. Enjoy the deck, I know I always have fun with my Chandra tribal deck! May you draw well….

DarkHero on Will Xenagos Return in Zendikar?

3 years ago

That's a bit of a stretch. I'll admit I'm not 100% on the lore, but even if he survived, He gave up his Planeswalker abilities in pursuit of becoming a God. There wouldn't be any outward reason or way he could make it to Zendikar. A third return to Theros maybe, but not Zendikar.

That being said, there is no reason we couldn't see a return of Sarkhan Vol, a transition of Nissa Revane, Chandra Nalaar or Vivien Reid to Gruul colors, or even just a completely knew Gruul walker.
