It's nice to have an alternate way to do things instead of the same ol' "slam critters into each other" method. I also found him extremely useful during the event, as black's removal and hand disruption is pretty powerful. To be honest, he sort of makes Lilliana irrelevant.

On my iPhone, I bought a big box and pulled a huge number of good cards. Like 4 Mythics and 13 rares, most of which I didn't already have (but some of which were duplicates). I think the BFZ Big Box is a good deal right now, because it has the Oath of the Gatewatch stuff in it, and all of the Oath cards right now are uncommon, rare and Mythic. My impression is that these events are going to take place every weekend, and each one will have the potential of earning you a couple hundred crystals or so. If so, getting crystals is no longer going to be like pulling teeth, and it would make sense to spend some on packs rather than planeswalkers.

So I have 500 left for 2 base pwalkers or sarkhan in a little while I had the best big box since they nerfed the drops... 3 mythic 1 double(not even remember which one was) Ulamog: great eldrazi MIRRORPOOL: oh yeah baby! So powerful and fits many decks. Also got a silvan advocate which performance I will test And a lantern scout that is great, efficient and is really needed for ally deck(future) deck. At long last a big box worth it! There is some justice.
EDHdad wrote: I didn't see much value in getting the higher end planeswalkers. Kiora's too expensive at 950 crystals (I figured for that price, she better unlock a kickass deck of cards, but instead she just caches in a basic assortment of what you already have, so you're paying more for her special abilities). Ajani at 550 crystals is also a bit pricey (again, same as Kiora with the abilities). Just the ability to put two colors in one deck is reason enough to get Ajani or Kiora somewhere down the line. However, it can wait if you don't have the 160,000 runes to fully level them up. Right now, the BFZ Big Box is a particularly good deal. It can't be stressed enough that right now, the only Oath of the Gatewatch cards available are uncommon, rare and mythic. On my phone, I completed the event (didn't go back for any of the special challenges) and bought a Big Box. Between the prizes won during the event and the Big Box, I now have 9 rares and 3 mythics from Oath. That's 50% of the available rares and 25% of the available Mythics. Maybe I just got lucky, but in my Big Box I pulled 4 Mythics and 13 rares, most of which I didn't already have.

I bought 2x BFZ Fat Packs and i have 450 crystals left. I am not sure what to do now. Buy one or two mono colour planeswalkers (koth or gideon II or ob nixilis) or a dual colour planeswalker (ajani). At the moment i mostly play an ally deck with gideon I and it works really good for me (using Serene Steward, Lantern Scout, Ondu greathorn and Mirrorpool). I also use Chandra (with Embermaw Hellion, Pia and Kiran, Dust Walker, Jori En and Mirrorpool) and Lilianna (with Kalitas, Mirrorpool, Remorseless Punishment). I only have a few Mythics and Rares yet: - Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet (M) - Mirrorpool (M) - Fathom Feeder - Remorseless Punishment - Eldrazi Devastator - Pia and Kiran Nalaar - Deepfathom Skulker - Embermaw Hellion - Veteran Warleader - Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen - Kytheon`s Irregulars - Mina and Denn, Wildborn - Sigil of Empty Thrones - Languish - Dust Stalker - Harbinger of Tides - Jori En, Ruin Driver - Lumbering Falls - Lantern Scout What is your advice? Would you buy Ajani or 2 mono coloured planeswalkers? Or would you safe crystals for Kiora? Or maybe just buy another fat pack instead of any planeswalker? Thank you very much for your opinions!
