he's great and will see lots more play again once green aggro picks up again. He works nicely with the Eldrazi Temple which taps to a 2. He's not broken though.

Dangerous in token rush decks. Though the more common situation when I'm playing with my fav deck. "I put down Garruk and I use-" "Lightning Bolt, he's dead." "But I used his abil-" "Its played as a sorcery, dead."

you don't have priority. you can't lightning bolt until you do. Garruk can use his +1 ability to untap 2 lands and gain the 1 loyalty counter as part of using the ability, in response you may lightning bolt. If they make the 3/3 beast then in response you could lightning bolt and destroy him but they would still get the beast.

I like garruk (He was my first planeswlaker) but I don't really like the flavor.. his abilities are pretty broken, but shouldn't he do something BIGGER? I mean, he's the embodiement of green, and maybe he should have had an ability like ajani's...
BIG, BAD, CREATURE W/P/T=your life!
Instead, they opted for a green ability, but not a VERY green one.
That said, he's my third favorite planeswalker, first Jace, and then the other Jace.

Ok question about the first ability of Garruk Wildspeaker and others with that ability like Arbor Elf, let’s say you have a card in your hand that cost 5 mana but have only 3 lands and you have Garruk out. Could you use his first ability to play the card? Same question with the elf if you hand four lands.

@GodWars yes you can. Just tap your lands and float the mana, then use the afforementioned abilities to get the rest of the mana!

Mana ramp, possible card advantage, Overwhelm, ults the turn after he comes out if you want. Totally brutal and requires an instant reaction out of the opponent unless they just love being hit for 10-20 the next turn.
EDIT: Using him with Life//Death, as it can mean a 12-16 point attack T3-T5. A deck using that card can also make significant use of Death to nab efficient beaters or utility creatures.
