@Stray_Dog: Not quite. Reknit would protect against effects that would specifically destroy Garruk, like a kicked Mold Shambler. If he's regenerated, his loyalty does not change.
When Garruk gets down to 0 loyalty (say from a bunch of creatures hitting him), he doesn't get destroyed, instead he gets put into your graveyard as a state-based effect. It's not like he's dying, he's just abandoning you, so regeneration will not replace lost loyalty or reset him.

Shatterstorm destroys artifacts and does not allow for regeneration.

@AlphaNumerical THink of regeneration as you the planeswalker, healing something just before it would normally die. It's kind of a last ditch effort to save something.

You could regenerate a totem armor aura (Hyena Umbra, Eel Umbra, etc.) that is about to save a creature it's enchanting, narrow as that application may be.

@brunsbr103: no it doesn't. You don't get the token unless the Terrastodon target actually dies. Regeneration prevents it from hitting grave.
@Stray_dog: you can't regenerate a state based effect, or even respond to a cost of an ability. (Garruk gets -4 counters, dies, then his ability goes on the stack). You can however, Regenerate a planeswalker about to be Vindicated.

if something is broken you can reknit it. even if it wasn't knitted in the first place.

Fun situational card. I got bored one day and made a random mostly artifact deck and threw this in there, imprinting it on Isochron Scepter pretty early in the game. My friend and his burn deck were not happy.
3.5/5

I'm having issues trying to understand how planeswalkers, lands, artifacts (non creature) and enchantments "regenerate". Interesting concept, and awesome card though.

Yeah... something like this always SEEMS like a good idea, until you actually attempt to play with it.
