Escape

Well, that’s the life of a planeswalker always planeswalking around, running away from crazed planeswalkers.  And then you planeswalk to happy happy Lorwyn by accident. :P

I’m sure Frodo jokes will be around when Lorwyn hits the shelves.

I hated Onslaught, but somehow I’m all excited about Lorwyn, It’s that traditional fantasy innocent look! It’s mesmerizing!

Oh, since we’re talking about Lorwyn check out two already known planeswalkers:

Wondering what the strange symbols are?

Resuming a bit: Planeswalkers are spells played by their mana cost, you can only play then whenever you could play a sorcery, they enter play and stick there as permanents. They are not creatures! When they enter play you put counters for their loyalty points (that’s the number on the lower right), then whenever you could play a sorcery, but only once per turn you can play one of their abilities adding or subtracting loyalty points. they can be affected by burn and an opponent may attack them (though you can block their creatures with yours), once the loyalty points go to 0 your planeswalkers get a little mad at ya and go to the graveyard (flavor-wise they think you’re a crappy planeswalker and abandon you to fight alone!).  You can only have one planeswalker of a given type at any time, so basically they’re kind of like legends.
