Actually, I think this story has sufficient evidence to show that something alarming IS happening to Garruk, something to do with his curse I'm sure....
M15 won't be just a Garruk-central Set. It's gonna be a Garruk-has-totally-lost-it set.

I suspect that the release of the figures this spring/summer is connected to M15. Why have the Lorowyn5 and Nyssa? This might be a bit of a stretch, but this seems like evidence that M15 will be a 6-walker set like M13, with Nyssa taking Garruk's place as the "regular" green walker, and Garruk getting the "special walker" place that Bolas had in M13. If that's the case, all bets are off on what his colour identity will be. MonoG or MonoB is less likely to separate him from Nyssa/Liliana, but BG is very possible. Even colourless is a possibility; his action figure does look more grey than black...

A polite player might call my card choices "interesting." At my budget, "interesting" is the only option.
Wow, nice find! Plants wither and die as he walks past them, corrupt black veins appearing on fruit, straight-up murdering people for fun ... If this isn't confirmation that Garruk is at least BG if not mono-black, I don't know what is.

I just don't see Garruk going monocolored black. It just doesn't fit the "sixth planeswalker" position he is supposed to have in Magic 2015 which would be served best by not overlapping with one of the five monocolored 'walkers. Also it sounds in general like quite a sizable step for the character to take: Even at his most black incarnation he was 75% green.
I expect a truly black-green gold Garruk for the next core set.
It is really interesting to see how lasting the effect of the curse is. It seems like we get to see a character descending into an enemy color due to an outside cause, but at the same time Garruk does not lose the essence of his character. This is a very well done process by now that is aided by its slow pace. I really hope that if the cause ever gets lifted we don't get a snap back into 100% fine Garruk.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Also, her next card is probably going to be GB because they loudly pronounced when she was new "SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE BLACK."

It seems like Garruk is going all Dangerous Game on us and hunting other planeswalkers now. And is still heavy on the black mana corruption.

Maybe he will become Liliana's puppet.
