Dose any body know how to make a plainswalker deck



Don't even try. Plainswalker decks are notoriously bad. If you are really set on it, Aysen Highway , Conversion and Graceful Antelope would be your best bets.



Don't forget Boggart Arsonists and Zodiac Rooster !


Stil though, you're completely shut down by a Great Wall , you better pack some enchantment removal.

BURSTING WITH VIGOR! Show


Trolljuju wiped the sweat from his brow as he continued his slow trudge up the snowy mountain. The wind was strong and fiercely cold, but he pressed against it. Juju knew Beast Engine was somewhere at the peak, waiting for him. But this was not a matter of confronting the forces of nature themselves; that had been accomplished long before, and was now too easy to maintain the manly man's interest. Today, Beast Engine was here waiting for a friend.

Trolljuju's mind drifted from his appointment to thoughts of Beast Engine's manliness. The only man in history to punch the fossilized remains of a dinosaur back to life just to punch it to death again. The man who deflected bullets with his pectoral muscles during his daily assassination attempts. The man who cured cancer with a serum made from pure crystalized virility. The man who burst with vigor. Not just a man but a Man- the manliest of all men. A god of masculinity in physical form.

Trolljuju's heart fluttered at the memory of him and lightened his steps as he pressed on.

Suddenly, he was shaken from his reverie by a deep, powerful rumble in the mountain that shook him to his core. Instinctively, he threw himself to the ground just before the slope ahead of him exploded in a fiery wall of light and heat. So great was the force that the entire upper section of the mountain was vaproized. It scorched Juju's coat, then rose on the air to drift far away, a plume of white-hot ash. When Trolljuju lifted his head to see what was left behind, he beheld a wide, perfectly flat stone plateau, and in the distance he could see a muscular figure, his foot still held up from the kick. There was no doubt it was Beast Engine.

As soon as the ground beneath him cooled, Juju cast his heavy pack aside and ran. As the figure grew with closeness, he could see Beast Engine was nude, as was expected. The snow that fell near him turned to a thin wall of steam, looking to Trolljuju's eyes like a barrier. Engine was too strong, too manly to occupy the same space as the ordinary universe. He lived in a world all his own. But fortunately for Juju, it was only an illusion. He ran at full speed into Engine, who caught him with both arms and effortlessly twirled with him, resting with Juju dipped low to the ground in Engine's arms.

"Beast Engine, my love," Trolljuju breathed, sturck with awe at Engine's masculine beauty despite the familiarity of his face.
Engine just smiled, radiating from every inch of him with incredible strength, yet gentle warmth.
"It's been so long, Juju. I've missed you."
"Forgive me. I lost contact with you while you were boxing with Death to win back and consume the soul of Theodore Roosevelt. But now I'm here..."
Juju lifted one tentative hand to Engine's face, but he pulled away.
"You know I cannot give you what you seek. Were we to make love, your body would be destroyed by the force."
"I know, of course I would," Juju responded, tears in his eyes. "May I have, at least, one kiss?"
"Very well. For you, my friend."
Slowly, gingerly, they came closer. But the moment their lips met, a flood of unbridled manliness rushed into Trolljuju, body and soul, and every cell in his body exploded.

Beast Engine fell to his knees, and in his grief, he wept. The tears that fell from his face burned deep into the rock beneath him. But slowly, his sorrow turned to conviction.

He beat the crap out of Death once. He could do it again.

It's such a shame that the blocks surrounding Scars Block got larger than normal third sets, instead of Scars Block itself. This arcana reminds me how New Phyrexia really did have some of the best art around.

New Phyrexia would've worked for the third set shift if it weren't for infect.

I think I'm getting tired of this "third set shift". More, it's about breaking blocks in two, of which this is the third attempt. It is also a copy of what happened not two years ago with Zendikar. This is done simply to enforce a draft environment and drive sales up on two ends, meaning players will be required to train to draft in two close-to environments. Perhaps this appeals to the guys in Dev, many of whom are Limited-lovers, but this being to pale because other people have "been there, done that." The standard block arrangement, Big-little-little, seems to be fading in value and I think it's because the guys designing the formats (MaRo) are bored with doing it constantly. It makes sense to change what doesn't work, but the format has worked for a very long time; the challenge is working in the system, but the guys on the design side seem to want to redesign boxes so they don't have to work in them anymore. Players get turned off of what isn't familiar or evocative, or what resonates, and bizarre set arrangements which have been done before don't actually seem to resonate, especially with recent memory.

As an analogy, it's okay to try that new spicy mustard sauce once in a while, but sometimes you just want plain mayo and mustard on your salad, and will find that the more you have the latter, the more special the former will become; switching thigns will merely transpose the elements: mayo will become "special," spicy will become "normal," and you'll re-monkey the wrench to screw with things again.

I think you guys need to try again, but back to basics. I really wonder if you guys lost sight of the pure basics in your drive to get more money and new people addicted to the ink. Tsk tsk.

I get the "yo dawg" reference to the xzibit meme, but I don't see the relevance to holding a torch / not being blocked by vampires / sacrificing to deal damage??

The playtest stickers for the Innistrad Blazing Torch cards were put on Zendikar Blazing Torch cards.
