Magic the Gathering: Return To Ravnica Prerelease Kit: Golgari

You are a Planeswalker.

Play Magic: The Gathering and discover why it’s the world’s premier trading card game. Start with a deck of cards filled with potent spells and fearsome creatures. Then take on the mantle of a Planeswalker, a powerful mage, and challenge your friends—and yourself—in the ultimate battle of wits.

The Golgari Swarm lives (or should that be exists, as it blurs the line a little?) in the underbelly beneath Ravnica’s streets, endlessly recycling the city’s leavings for its own glory. Death is merely another part of life to the Golgari—whose fallen can feed those who replace them—making them relentless foes. The black-green power they hold is manifested in scavenge, a keyword found on some Golgari creatures. When a creature with scavenge dies or is put into the graveyard in any other way, you find yourself with access to a handy snack that can be “fed” at sorcery speed to another of your creatures. By exiling a creature, like Sluiceway Scorpion, and paying the appropriate mana cost, you can add +1/+1 counters to a creature you control equal to the exiled creature’s power. This can present some interesting situations where you don’t mind too much if your creatures get in fights in the early game and simply die, as even in death they can still have an impact on the later game.
