When i first got him i saw that he was a beast but when i added him to my MYR deck (I know it soundes pathetic but it is actualy prity good with him and wurmcoil engin)hw just made that deck almost invisible because all his efects go well with my MYRs P.S. it is my favorit deck but my worst deck.

I know the official ruling is that when the artifact "becomes" a 5/5 artifact creature it maintains abilities such as Indestructible and Infect, but I disagree with this because on the card it simply says "target artifact becomes a 5/5 artifact creature" and nothing else. I think this should be a replacement in every sense and the artifact should be nothing more than what it says; a 5/5 artifact creature. I guess it keeps its abilities and types and subtypes and so on because it doesn't say that it loses them. I wish they'd be more specific about this in the future and I'm glad this card isn't in standard anymore.

Love this card. He was the first planeswalker I ever loaded and I've continuously improved my deck since. In an artifact deck he is simply disgusting.

Lol of gatherer users. NEW PLANESWALKER MUST RATE 5/5!!!11
He's not a 5/5 planeswalker because he's narrow, and that is a GOOD thing. Wizards seems to have learned their lesson with planeswalkers after the Jace fiasco. So far in Scars block, the planeswalkers have been fairly well designed. From SoM, only Koth sees a decent amount of play, Venser sees virtually none, and Elspeth Tirel has seen a tiny bit of fringe play as a random 1 of in white decks.
I could see this guy being tried out for Legacy affinity, he can come out turn 3 easily with Mox Opal, or even turn 2 with Springleaf Drum+Opal. Tutor up another artifact, then drain your opponent for like 12,14,or 16 life, and finish them off with burn spells/attackers/dotv.

Second ability. Use with Inkmoth Nexus for a creature land that is 5/5 permanently. Unfortunately, the flying and infect will PROBABLY go away at the end of the turn and it will temporarily be a 1/1 when they are reapplied, but...

Obviously he is incredible in a U/B artifact deck.
But any planeswalker that has "I command you to build a specific kind of deck in both dual colour and theme" written all over it is bad in my book. I never liked artifact creatures much, so I'm very subjective.
To make that standard deck for this guy, you need 4 of this and 3 jace 2.0... and that is gonna cost ya, big time. But if you already have a U/B artifact deck or is gonna build one, I understand why you like this one, but none for me thanks.

Wow. Narrow?
Yeah, like the original.
He's still one of the better (best?) designed Planeswalkers. Godly in Artifacts. That's all that's needed.
I'm getting one for my Vintage Tendrils Vault deck. And he'll do well when Tezz 1.0 is done for the day.

Question: If you use His -1 effect to turn him into a creature aswell, can you attack with him and use a loyalty ability?

So what does the Sol Ring turn into when it becomes 5/5?
