I thought the walkers were Rowan, will and oko and also stated there's only three walkers in the set?
But god bless getting garruk back into mtg

Ohh I like this design so much. Especially the 0 that goes for every Garruk! Nice!

I'm now wondering what the Buy-a-Box promo is. His set number is where I expected that to slot in. Unless he is the promo and it's only available in this borderless format I guess?

I didn't think Will was confirmed to be in this set. Anyway, this Garruk is fine. It's no Apex Predator, but it's a serviceable card nonetheless.
Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 5/26/24 (Modern Horizons III)
I am aware that the special art cards all have numbering outside the set. These special art cards can also be for cards appearing the Brawl decks. MaRo has stated that there will be three walkers in a set: Will, Rowan, and a new character. We now know that the new character is Oko. Since it appears like Rowan is doing something without her brother, based on the information we've been given, it would not make sense for them to share a card.

Maro can be deceptive with his answers. He said that there will be 3 pw cards and in another one said that there was Will, Rowan and a new one (and confirmed that Will and Rowan share a spark and cannot travel separated).Dusk wrote: ↑4 years agoI am aware that the special art cards all have numbering outside the set.

It's possible that adding the 2 statements the truth is 3 pw cards = Oko, Garruk and Will&Rowan

You may be in for a surprise then. A card is floating on mtgspoiler at the moment for The Royal Scions which is a Will and Rowan Planeswalker card. If it works out consider me impressed as I've wondered when they would have 2 planeswalkers on the same card for some time now.Dusk wrote: ↑4 years agoI am aware that the special art cards all have numbering outside the set.

Also, MaRo's answers have traditionally not been literal, and if I recall correctly, his response to the question about Will was simply "Will's in the set," which doesn't necessarily mean as his own planeswalker card.

You all might be right and me wrong. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something. Also, had not seen the card 'The Royal Scions' anywhere. I would take it with a grain of salt atm due to it being an image with the collector's number cut of. There also does not appear to be any source for the image (that I could find, anyway)SyntheticDreamer wrote: ↑4 years agoThat wouldn't surprise me.Serpent_Steve wrote: ↑4 years agoYou may be in for a surprise then.

-Will is actually in the set (and I was wrong about the # of walkers) Maybe he got thrown in at the last minute to fill a vacant mythic slot.
-Will shares a card with Rowan
-Will is in the set (but not in the packs). They've done walkers who were only in planeswalker decks before (Dominaria Chandra)
-Will is in the set (As a creature, because his sister's hogging the whole spark and won't share)
-Will is lurking in the background of various card arts. See if you can find him!

As a twin, I was hoping that MTG would give us twin PWs who essentially 'share' a spark... I even asked MaRo the question on Blogatog, but I never got a response, to my knowledge.
Anyway, I like the innovative ways they are looking at loyalty on PWs (Chandra from M20, Garruk here). Garruk himself seems okay, if a bit 'expected' as GB PW. Has there ever been a GB PW printed who didn't have a 'destroy creature' minus ability?

Confirmed on Stream the Garruk is in set and The Royal Scions is real as wellDusk wrote: ↑4 years agoYou all might be right and me wrong. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something.

"each Garruk you control" is probably the silliest and most awkward wording I have seen in a long time. Though I suppose "Sacrifice a Food" is up there.
Maro also confirmed that supplemental (Brawl/PW deck exclusive cards) will not have a premium full art equivalent like the other rares and mythics. I would not be surprised if the buy-a-box is exclusively in premium full art, but aside from that, any cards with a premium treatment equivalent are confirmed to be openable in draft boosters (both as premium and standard versions.)Dusk wrote: ↑4 years agoI am aware that the special art cards all have numbering outside the set.

Don't forget "non-Gideon creature" (which hilariously includes Kytheon, Hero of Akros).

Garruk can't kill planeswalkers anymore???? Boooo
Also, is this really the card of the set? Because the design it's awfully and awkwardly close of a planeswalker deck card.

Garruk planeswalkers are not really know for the "ultimates", although Garruk, Caller of Beasts is pretty decent. But the putting loyalty counters onto Garruk planeswalkers isn't as good as you'd first want.
But you can setup a two turn emblem for +3/+3 which isn't to be sniffed at if you can kill your Wolf creatures AND you get to keep him as he'd of been on 7 loyalty.

Ok, let's start:clariwench wrote: ↑4 years agoWhat? This card is fantastic and will absolutely see play! It's also the only card in the set that made me feel anything positive so far lol.
- Six mana for a golden card that destroy only creatures. Compare, in the same color combinations with the Vraskas (Unseen and Relic Seeker) which destroy nearly every type of permanent at that cost or less and even gives you a plus advantage (mana). Sure, this Garruk also make a plus advantage (draw a card), but the Relic Seeker can do the ability of destroying a wide range of targets twice in a row, which is much more relevant than "destroy a creature, draw a card" (It doesn't even have the text "up to", so you can't even minus only to draw if there's no legal targets, for example against control.).
- No way to plus except the awkwardly weird and slow waititing of the wolf tokens to die. (and you won't even get the loyalty counters if they get exiled or bounced). 5 starting loyalty for a golden six mana PW is not that exciting either, compare the Vraska that start at six Loyalty, and has just a more efficent way to protect and plus herself with a sureproof +2 each turn. Also, the "each garruk" clause is a gimmick that very rarely will even matters in most practical games, not in Standard for sure.
- Extremely boring ultimate, planeswalker deck style, useless if control or midrange decks can take care of your creatures anyway. Compare again with Relic Seeker that put any opponent at 1 life, no matter what.
I mean, if you are genuinely excited for this PW good for you, but you seems to have low standards in that case.
