I run three of these nice guys in a BWG landfall deck, which also sun four copies of Knight of the Reliquary. He often pops off the top of your deck at the moste convenient timesm, when you for example have godt the mane to play him, a fetchland in hand and at least one copy of Knight of the Reliquary on the battlefield. When this happens your opponent will just go: "uh-oh, do I die?"
Very good card, although legendary. Obviously he's been a planeswalker. But him being Garruk, is unlikely. I believe that the Zendikar block belongs to the battle between Jace and Chandra, since we've already been dissappointed about Chandra Ablaze, and Jace, the Mind Sculpturer has been revealed, to be a part of the Worldwake expansion. However, since we already got one black planeswalker in the block (Sorin Markov), I think it is most unlikely that we'll get another one in this block.
But, he coul... (see all)

I agree with JosirisDavid about the Harrow or fetch lands like Teramorphic Expanse, but you need to give this guy trample. And also beware of Lightning Bolts before you play your land.

Interesting, his flavor text implies he used to be a Planeswalker!

My copy of this guy says he will come back as the Risen and he will be a Planeswalker. Powerful, but only in a landfall or fetchland deck.

This guy is way out of color for making lightning bolts and casting a permanent giant growth on himself

@Orzhov Ghost Council: No. Not even close. The original trio that sealed the Eldrazi were Sorin, Ugin, and a currently unnamed lithomancer. Nissa was featured heavily in the plot of Zendikar because she was the planeswalker that Sorin found to help reinforce the bonds of the Eldrazi prison. She then proceeded to screw over her entire plane by releasing the eldrazi on Zendikar, thinking that they would just leave once they would set free.

@thewrathofshane Nah, he isn't unbalanced. He can be easily dealt with in most colors, and he is a 5-drop. I'm not saying he isn't a great card, but he isn't what I'd call "broken". Sure, he's good in a landfall deck- but so is every card with landfall. So what if you use fetchlands? He is a 5-drop, as I said previously. I've won games in less time than that, and lost them in that time too.
PS please also go over your spelling in your comment... I've seen enough of your comments to know you didn't intentionally misspell Ridiculous.

Does anyone know of a card or combo to stop the life loss when Ob gets his landfall on? I tried a gatherer search for any card with "if you would lose life" but all that came up were cards that read if you would take damage which you're not if Ob gets his ability off.
Help? My friend plays a landfall + warpword+ Ob deck and I'm having trouble coming up with easy fixes to get around Obs power.
