    Big rules nerd here, and you may already know this but for anyone seeing this new tech who doesn’t: Tamiyos safekeeping (or other indestructible sources) won’t protect a planeswalker from losing loyalty counters to damage, or for dying to zero loyalty. The reason is although it can’t be destroyed (indestructible), it can still take damage, and taking damage is what removes loyalty counters. It’s why the various Gideons that turn into creatures both make him indestructible and prevent damage, to avoid this situation.

    Ofc, Tamiyo’s does protect against “destroy target/all planeswalkers” type effects


  • Ooh Locust God loves this! Worst case it’s a 6-mana sorcery draw 5 (not great, but workable). Or, it’s a flexible board wipe that leaves your many locust tokens in play. You can even do a cute play of copy the God, then bounce the OG, so the token doesn’t die to legend rule (since that’s only checked as a state-based action) so you get to keep your locusts and your God and have a backup in your hand.

    Yep, notably this doesn’t have all the basic land types like nearby planet does, which both means it can’t produce any color with a simple tap, and also means it doesn’t auto-fulfill all your domain with one land. It’s not strictly worse since Nearby has the Rupture Spire pay 1 clause, but Nearby is overall way more powerful assuming you can take advantage of domain-type abilities





  • Hate everything about this, and I’ve been a secret lair diehard from day 1. I love the cool art treatments, I buy the overpriced basic lands, I really enjoy the crossovers even when I don’t personally care about the property, overall a big fan. But what I do NOT like is turning it into hyper-FOMO “buy quick or never get it again!!” bullshit. Having them be limited to the sale was fine because you got like a month to think about it, being forced to buy it in the first (day? Hour? Minute??) or else the stock disappears means I won’t bother, I respect myself too much for that nonsense.











  • Agreed, I love em. My only complaint is we’ve only had one set of them so far, and while there’s a few standouts ([[Invasion of Segovia]] in Locust God is nasty), overall they were obviously designed on the safer side. Excited to see where the design space leads as they get more confident in the card type
