| A new addition to Magic the Gathering - first created in Lorwyn. Planeswalker's are similar to the player in a game of magic. Essentially, they function as an entity outside the game offering their assistance in helping you, the mage, win the game. Planeswalkers come into play with a set amount of loyalty counters, in Garruk's case that happens to be three (found in the lower right hand corner). Their abilities can be used once each turn - providing different strategic effects to help you win the game. In some cases, their abilities add to their loyalty counters. When a planeswalker has zero loyalty counters they leave your side and continue to walk the planes. Planeswalkers, similar to the mage, can be attacked by creatures or direct damage spells. Damage is absorbed in the form of loyalty counters, however, that damage is damage that you will not have to account for. |

Three words. Shock. it. twice.
And that's if your opponent opens with his +1 ability.
Three stars cuz all planeswalkers have some inherent coolness.

It's different from Call of the Herd, but it's good for the same reason: Card Advantage. With one card you can produce three threats. Call of the herd fits better in the mana curve because you get the first threat turn 3 and a second one turn 4, Garruk gets the first threat turn 4, the second turn 5 and the third turn 6, 3x 3/3 for only 4 mana. That's pretty nice. It'll see a lot of play.

I just don't like the picture it makes him look retarded... Good card though.

The most playable Planeswalker out of the five. The ability to make a 3/3 beast token is unreal, because it can protect itself with chump blockers, thought if you are playing green, this shouldn't be a problem. Untapping 2 lands is also very useful, because by the turn after he is cast, you could be in the 7CC range, or more, depending on the lands you untap. Last ability is a win condition, if you are having trouble drawing one, though the first 2 abilities should be your bread and butter.

Two direct damage spells is the answer to most creatures, and any card that absorbs two of em helps your green creatures immensely. I wouldn't consider dying to two shocks a weakness. If it is not killed by your next turn it is an Overrun at 2C w/suspend 1. If your opponent reads it that way they may mass removal your creatures but thankfully this guy gives you more mana to restock your board or consistent, solid 3/3 tokens to take back the initiative. Mana acceleration is good in any deck, the other abilities are icing on the cake.

Behind tarmogoyf, this is the second best green card to be released lately. It is a house in any matchup. It annihilates control with a stead supply of beaters, a wincon against aggro, and acceleration. It fits into midrange decks, aggressive decks and just about everything else. If you are running green, chances are that you should be running this and tarmogoyf.

Pretty solid Planeswalker. U/G decks are probably going to lock most standard burn decks down. Combo this guy with a Guile, and you may as well hand your opponent a revolver with one bullet in it and leave the table. However, this guy really doesn't do well in multiplayer ... What good will untapping two lands do you when you need six untapped to deal with countering? Still, he's a strong card, especially in standard draft or sealed; any planeswalker is, but I'd rather have mana open than cards, and again, U/G has enough control from the U side. Pair this guy w/Liliana and you can create a DEVASTATING deck; think about it.

this card is mediocre at best, i bought 4 to put in a U/G scyrb and force deck and found him slow against B/U
control and just about any creature rush deck.Next stop for this guy was a B/G discard rack tarmogoyf deck, where i spent about 20 matches wishing it was a call of the herd every time i got him on the draw.If this is the best Planswalker out of lorwyn i think i'll wait to see the next set on paper before i rip a box of morningtide

By far the best Planeswalker. No matter what anyone says it will beat people any day. However, I still like all the other Planeswalkers as well...

I just got my hands on 2 garruks last week, and i will tell you, hands down the most powerful planeswalker, i play him with Golgari Rot farm, and i find myself useing his first ability so often i never even want to use his 2nd 2, but thats not to say i dont... i play with an elf deck, make plenty of them throw down a few elvish prom's and use his last ability... game over. i mean doesn't get much better then him...

this is the nicest planswalker at all

I am so suprised that no one has reviewed this card. He is undisputably the best plainswalker.
All three of his abilities are super useful. The first provides big mana acceleration and allows for the "overrun"
abilty the very next turn. The second puts big cratures in play which first defend him and you and then smash your oponent a 3/3 for 0 mana. Yes please! And his final ability is a game winner! The best green card in the Lorwyn block. The best Plainswalker. And my personal favorite card in all respects most particularly in terms of intra-synergy,raw power and beautiful artwork!
