As we all know he's the only planeswalker that can't gain any loyalty counters unless in a proliferate deck or in a deck that helps planeswalkers gain counters by other means. But besides all that typical bs. Its his second ability that makes it one of the best planeswalker gems in my opinion. It states that you sacrifice a creature and it's owner gains a 5/5 Dragon on his or her side of the field. Well what's so great about it? Indestructible, shroud, and hexproof means absolute shit now. Now before you go on about "well your targeting it so it can't happen only I can target it" well sir I say shut the hell up because I have found a loop hole to the whole ordeal. Technically it tells the opponent to sacrifice the creature your targeting. And true it's unaffected by me trying to say that it's gone but when the opponent sacrifices it. That's different. The opponent is allowed to sac it's own creatures at their own will. Sarkhans just there to enforce that you do by his own wim. Making you blow up your avacyn, wall of denial, or eldrazi titan without even having to really lift a finger except coasting 2 of his 7 total loyalty counters. Even gidian And his indestructible human glory is an unfortunate target to Sarkhans wrath. And just like Sarkhan, you'll be going mad to see your 15/15 eldrazi titan you spent half your life savings and probably many hours of sucking up someone for a month just to unconditionally sac it due to a his very destructive and troolish effect. This effect is very op and would make any rush or black/red agro deck just a tad stronger by removing immovable assholes with just an overlooked and dickish planeswalker effect.

Sarkhan the mad is an indestructible houser card analysis
Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Eldrazi titan + anvacyn or anything else that gives a creature indestructible or shroud + undying = THE BIGGEST DICK CARD COMBO AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!
Face it. The eldrazi is one of the most powerful arch types in magic besides slivers and darksteel. And the 3 titans made formidable and relentless opponents when the block was standard. Or in other words the reason why some people stopped playing magic for a while. Even now you can't escape them in modern, EDH, vintage or any other format like that. Casual play will and always will be a bitch when you see at least one of them pop up on the field. Of course now with the more heavily use of exiling pretty much everything. They have became more less detained for the time being. But of course that only solves a small portion of the higher up bull shit eldrazi titan and one of the more sought out cards in magic Ermrikal. This 15/15 beast of a card is protected from everything. Think of it. EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN CARD YOU CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF THAT HAS COLOR TO IT CANT EFFECT THIS GUY! So now here's were things will be even more shittier. Give it indestructible. Done. You win... Like you now can't kill it period. Even the well used poison counters are going to be near impossible to kill him. At that point your better off poisoning the opponent. Seems simple enough right? Well now imagine that he has the audacity to give this already unbearable card undying?.... These are the combos that no one under any circumstances wants to even comprehend. Its a trollers paradise. Lets make a 15/15 protected from everything that is now indestructible undying. Essentially making the whole purpose of -1/-1 counters absolutely irrelevant. You can't beat it. I know that no one and I mean NO ONE ON THE FACE OF THIS MULTIVERSE WITH HALF A BRIAN WOULD WANT TO EVEN ATTEMPT THESE CARD COMBOS. Its a combo that'll make even the most experience magic players cringe at the thought of it. This is taking winning on a scale that no one should ever have to cross.

Replicate with flashback? Card combo question.
When you come across that one red/blue milling burn deck that one wack job with questionable sanity and judgment in the back of the room at Friday night magic use. When you see him use replicate to replicate his flashback spells, what in the hell do you do about that? Do you pay for its original mana cost or the flashback cost for the other copies. Either way it's absolute bull shit and why I stay away from red and blue. Any thoughts, questions, or comments about this topic and what do you actual do to prepare and carry out such an assigning combo will be much appreciated.

Corpse Connoisseur / Vengeful Pharaoh combo
Keep your deck out of harms way with this unused and could be much greatly abused combo with these two zombie gems. All you have to do is make sure vengeful pharaoh isn't in your hand and in the library and just simply summon or unearth corpse connoisseur and that's all there is too it. It'll keep rush decks at bay and those pesky wurms and anything with trample or double strike in their place. Even your typical milling decks won't want to mistakenly have either card in the grave. Risking with resummoning the corpse or having the pharaoh sit there and laugh at you as your choices of attacking dwindles. A must have for budget decks and zombie reanimators. Along with black/white control or mono black control with possible use in red/black rush decks due to there kinda cheap cost of 5 mana each. With corpses unearth cost one mana cheaper. Great for late game or early game trolling. This combo can be what wins you modern Friday night magic and leave your opponents speechlessly stumped.
