About Sarkhan the Mad

Sarkhan the Mad, Legendary planeswalker — sarkhan, designed by Chippy first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 1.52.

Sarkhan the Mad would be best suited for a deck focused on generating and utilizing Dragon creatures, as his abilities synergize well with them. While he can provide card advantage and removal options, his self-damage drawback and situational abilities may make him less optimal compared to other planeswalkers like Sarkhan, Fireblood or Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, which offer more consistent and powerful effects for Dragon-themed decks. Ultimately, Sarkhan the Mad may not see as much play in competitive decks due to his limitations and the availability of stronger alternatives.

Rules

06/15/10

If the targeted creature is a legal target by the time the second ability resolves but its controller can’t sacrifice it (due to Tajuru Preserver, perhaps), the ability continues to resolve. That player gets a Dragon token.

06/15/10

If you target an opponent with the third ability, you choose separately for each Dragon creature you control whether or not to redirect the damage dealt by that Dragon to a planeswalker that player controls.

06/15/10

The first ability causes Sarkhan to deal damage directly to himself, resulting in that many loyalty counters being removed from him. The damage would never have been dealt to you, so prevention effects that would prevent damage from being dealt to you won’t affect it.

06/15/10

Unlike previous planeswalkers, Sarkhan the Mad has no way to raise his loyalty.
