Magic The Gathering

You cast it for its casting cost and it enters the battlefield with loyalty counters on it equal to the number on the bottom right. Once on your turn, you can activate one of its abilities at sorcery speed, provided you have sufficient loyalty counters on it. Opponents can redirect damage to your planeswalkers and your opponents can attack them with their creatures. For each 1 point of damage it takes, you remove one loyalty counter from it. Once it has 0 or fewer loyalty counters on it, it is sent to the graveyard.

Holy crap, I forgot Jace

He's the best I've seen so far as well! I was hoping I wasn't missing something due to my new-ness .

Jace is my favorite due to a personal bias (my name is Jason, I'm an aquarius, and extremely intellectual and into the mind, intuition, etc), so you can imagine the blue cards sort of "call" to me. I laugh every time I play Jace's Ingenuity, because I always say "Jason's Ingenuity!" .

Lol! I had a hunch you were female, Luna, but I didn't want to assume .

It's good to know such a mix of people are on these forums; what a fantastic community overall! By far one of the best, strongest, most long-standing communities of its kind. This thread is amazing, as well.

I think we're going to play some serious MTG this morning before lunch. I need to try out my new "killer bees" deck to see how it holds up! I'll definitely keep you guys posted on that.

Is that a special edition or something?

By the way guys and gals; my Hornet Queen/overwhelm deck is killing it. I won several games back to back with it yesterday! SO many tokens out on the field between Hornet Queen and Wolfpack; I always make sure I "have insurance" on those guys with a few negates/cancels in my hand to keep my opponent's attempts to clear the board at bay.

I also picked up this card at the shop downtown yesterday, and I'm going to rotate it into my deck. It's the highest-drawing mana card I'd have in there, but it's totally worth it and I can see it really throwing in a curveball with that "destroy three, get three 3/3" feature:

Also, there's apparently the first new subset for 2014 coming on September 20: something of Khan? Should be pretty neat!

Tarkir, that's right! I'm going to forget that word by the time I'm done making this post, lol.

That sounds awesome! My gf and I were talking about how we bet there's going to be a whole host of new combo-like cards coming out with this one. What are the benefits of the Morphing ability? Is that like the Turn to Frog type thing?

I must admit, I really enjoy the combo of green/blue. I love the "overwhelm" archetype green provides, and the "insurance policy" type effects that blue affords. Something about having those negate/cancel instants in my hands while my opponent tries to clear the board .
