NEW Planeswalkers “Sifa Grent” and “Dack Fayden”

There is a new IDW Magic the Gathering comic book coming out that follows the adventures of the new Planeswalker “Dack Fayden” and “Sifa Grent.”

I personally really enjoyed the older Magic the Gathering novels. They were the perfect mix of MTG lore and good ol’ fantasy adventures. My favorite book of all time has to be The Brother’s War. I’ve always thought that it would make an epic movie if done correctly.

Comic books are not a new medium for WOTC. This one seems promising enough and will be something I will be purchasing. Oh, and the free, exclusive card doesn’t hurt either.

IDW explains:

What’s the Magic: The Gathering comic about?

It follows the adventures of a new Planeswalker by the name Dack Fayden. Dack’s not just a powerful mage but also one of the greatest thieves of his age. Unlike other thieves, though, he steals — he’d prefer to say “borrows” — not for money but knowledge.

Dack has a special power called psychometry. This allows him to pry into an artifact, figure out how it works, and teach himself the spells it uses. It also gives him visions of the most intense times the object has been used, which can be both horrifying and enlightening.

Where is it set?

Well, Planeswalkers move between worlds at will, and the comic reflects that. Dack often needs to stay a step or three ahead of the law or whoever else he’s annoyed, so he moves around a lot. He stays until he’s worn out his welcome — sometimes past that.

Dack’s current home base is an urban plane called Ravnica. However, the action in the story leaps over to Innistrad fairly fast.

Innistrad? That sounds familiar.

Innistrad is the new plane that was introduced with the current block of cards for the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game, on which the comic is based. It’s a place of gothic horror filled with vampires, werewolves, and loads of other monsters.

It’s also the place where someone Dack’s been hunting for a long time has been holed up for a while. She’s another new Planeswalker by the name of Sifa Grent, and as we find out in issue #1, she’s responsible for the destruction of Dack’s entire hometown.

Here is the card that comes with issue #1. It is not legal in standard. :(

I just got off the phone with my local gaming store and they told me the book is out sometime in December.

All Pokémon, #1-40 who have three stages (including baby, excluding Nidoqueen.)

As soon as Level Up was created, I knew I wanted to use It for Pokémon. Level Up has so much design space, it turned out to be a lot of fun exploring the cards mechanically and flavorfully.

I finished all the way through Dragonite, I will load more pics in future posts.

Note: Wigglytuff’s wording is clumsy for its last ability. The intent is to tap two creatures, both of which have individual toughness less than Wiggly’s level.

Also note: Leveler Rules
