    Basically an uncommon Cavern of Souls - without the uncounterability. I guess Slivers will like it. As for Legacy relevance, it's an upgrade over painlands in colored Eldrazi lists.

    There's also this removal. Probably too expensive and slow in Legacy, though.

    Victim of Night doesn't really see play, and it's an instant while the creature types it doesn't hit (Vampires/Werewolves/Zombies) see even less play than this one (Merfolk), so I'd think it's strictly worse on both fronts in Legacy. But of course Go for the Throat is yet even more superior to Victim of Night.

    The art and flavor of Walk the Plank are pretty outstanding though.

    It helps with 4-5 color tribal in general. It's just that most of the strong tribes are color-linked.

    Plank will replace Go for the Throat in my EDH decks. It might find a place in Modern too.

    Gurmag Angler is a Zombie, which really hurts Victim of Night, and the most played Merfolk right now is TNN which can't be targeted anyway.

    It would be cool if Walk the Plank was played enough to make Merfolk into tech but Terminate/Dismember also exist anyway.

    Re: Ixalan [XLN]

    Gurmag Angler is also a fish, so walking the plank shouldn't affect it.

    I'm not saying it's the easiest deck to play, but the plan is so linear that I could probably get white girl wasted and still beat people with the deck.

    Am I seeing this correctly with Didgeridoo and shit like Eldrazi:



    So if an Eldrazi is in your hand and you name "Minotaur," Eldrazi cards in your hand will basically be Eldrazi-Minotaur? That's dope.

    Yeah, but Merfolk is already a regular threat in the metagame. It's not "tech," it's just there, and at any sizeable event you can't afford to turn off all your removal just because you bumped into it. Plank is basically not playable for this reason. When it's dead - it's REALLY dead.

    Also, agree on flavor fail of not including fish ;)

    Didgeridoo & Artificial Evolution naming Eldrazi probably works cheaper?

    Or you can just cast S&T for the same cost.

    Maybe they roll out the extra-long plank for the fish and octopi and just force them to walk it over and over until they dry out.

    If a Suntail Hawk can equip Argentum Armor, Dandan can Walk the Plank.

    You could also combine it with Griffin Canyon and Fatestitcher/Voyaging Satyr.

    It's still bad.

    Unrelated - what is the correct plural? I looked online and for every source that says one, there is another source that says another.
