this isn't thinking outside the box. It actually is kinda ripping off another card game developed by white wolf. Werewolves of the Apocalypse. I'm not sure if the game is still around, however, when it was still being played, there was a human side and a werewolf side to the main cards.
@aeriusblindsight there comes a time when we realize that everything is a rip off of something else. and Werewolves of the Apocalypse isn't around anymore - small play groups still play it tho. I'm sure R&D will make werewolves and human flip cards way better then WofA ever could; just based on how much experience they have in the market. Thinking out side of the box applies here because they're trying something new, instead of just sticking with what they know.
hold on...say you play Garruk Relentless and activate the 3 damage to a creature and he takes only 1 damage from the creature. He then transforms into Garruk, the veiled-cursed because he has 2 or fewer loyalty counters. Does this mean that because it is a new card and hence a new planeswalker that he can immediately activate another of his abilities all in the same turn? or does it fit the cause that it can only activate 1 ability a turn?
@NSJonesy94 i disagree. he's brutal. he can totally change the outcome of the game as soon as he comes out. his -1 ability not only tutors, but helps with morbid in one ability. he's ridiculous
@aresx666 but will he actually be fast enough/relevant enough to see play is the real question. Obviously R&D is wants the super new cool toy (planeswalkers) to be playable and see tournament play, but not to make people unhappy or frustrated at the same time. Here's thinking he'll see at the very least Block play.
@NSJonesy94 a mono black deck in standard would be awesome, but without cabal coffers or big drain life effect it's just another black deck. I think she'll fit into plenty of decks tho.

@mcmorphisclss09 He is not a new card, he is a Transformed Permanent. You will not be able to use a second PW ability on him on the same turn.

Garruk, I don't think is going to see a lot of play, but Lilliana, I think, is going to be very popular in standard for mono black.
