Laeuftbeidir said: hawkyh1 said: is eternalise a capped/weaker version of embalm? Depending on the critters it might even be a more powerful version - at least at common /uncommon level there are few (I think none) critters at + 4/4 level. Regarding the rares, they'll probably also cap out around there (if they have eternalise) , but with more powerful effects.

Regarding the rares, they'll probably also cap out around there (if they have eternalise) , but with more powerful effects. I predict that Eternalize is going to be underpowered/underwhelming overall (i.e. just not worth it). It seems to be a straight copy of the mechanic of the paper version, but everyone (except some devs) know that the power/toughness levels are not really equivalent between them, given that Puzzle Quest is capped at 3 (different) creatures. 4/4 are generally stronger stats in paper than they are in Puzzle Quest these days. A 4/4 critter really needs to have something else going for it to be worth a slot at high level play (e.g. be very cheap, or grow easily, or useful extra abilities), especially if one is going to need to jump through extra hoops (hit that activate gem) to get it. A straight strength/toughness paper to PQ translation is why some supposedly powerful cards actually just suck (Yahenni, I'm looking at you).

Brakkis said: The game freezes when the user destroys an enemy support tile during the Story Mode: Heroic Jace mission. This is being applied to all of the Heroic Encounters and not just Jace right? Because it certainly happens on all of the ones with pre-generated supports.

Well, as you know, when the planeswalkers were originally released, we had Jace Telepath Unbound, Gideon Battle-Forged, Chandra Roaring Flame, Liliana Heretic Healer, Nissa Vastwood Seer.During BFZ, they released the 3 planeswalkers from that set (Gideon Ally of Zendikar, Kiora Master of the Depths, Ob Nixilis Reignited) and concurrently released five older planeswalkers: Garruk Wildspeaker, Ajani Vengeant, Tezzeret the Seeker, Sarkhan the Mad, and Koth of the Hammer. This bolstered the original lineup and gave us greater color coverage.However, it then stopped altogether. Since OGW, and through SOI, EMN, KAL, AER, and AMK, they have followed a strict release policy that has not included any older planeswalkers. They have only released planeswalkers from those sets, which led some, including myself, to theorize that they didn't have much wiggle room anymore and that the original planeswalker extravaganza was simply to build an initial pool. Therefore, it's noteworthy that they're pulling in an older planeswalker. Even though it's most likely because they were very short on planeswalkers for this block, it shows that they do have a bit of leeway regarding how strictly they must adhere to set releases.

I just figured that those sets had enough new PW that they didn't need to print old ones.
