Close to death and tormented by pain and fury, Garruk dispatched the ghouls, but his mind slipped away from him. He wandered in blind circles, shouting at the ravens and imagined monsters. It might have been the end of the great hunter, but for the events unfolding in Gatstaf.
When Avacyn's magic reached him, Garruk regained his senses. He stared down at his arms, watching the black veins receding from his skin. He was overcome with joy at the sudden absence of pain and sickness. But it was a falsehood. Within seconds the veins reappeared, his blood seemed to thicken to tar, and his back bent under the weight of the curse once again. The cursemute was enough to bring him back from madness and death, but it was not enough to cure him.
After slogging his way out of the swamp, he came upon Angel's Way, a well-traveled road between Kessig and Thraben. He knew the witch was heading to Thraben, and he could doggedly continue his pursuit. Or he could strike out another way, toward the origin of the magic he had felt so strongly. There was a power on this plane that could cure curses. Maybe there was another way to rid him of his evil burden—a way that didn't involve the witch.
Sometimes a straight line wasn't the best way to catch a beast. And sometimes the quickest route to a kill was the longest path through the forest. Yes, this day he would let his senses guide him. Garruk knew his hunt for Liliana was far from over. But for now, he turned away from Thraben and headed toward the rising sun.
From the 2 parts I bolded, I inferred that the curse cannot be cured by White mana alone, and that he will still need to pursue Liliana. But will perhaps use white mana to block the curse for a time, giving him the nessecary strength to battle and defeat Liliana.
W/U/B deck
pitch weenies with Liliana and civilized scholar, Recur them with Sun Titan/any additional reanimation that will probably be printed in the set.
Man I forgot about bounce. I don't care about exiling so much as there aren't too many cards out there doing that. But as for bouncing, that would suck. Thankfully Into the Roil will be gone and there isn't really bounce as versatile/usable available as of now. Hopefully it stays that way. Not to mention blue on a whole should be a lot weaker of a color soon.
Every replicate card has its replicate cost equal to its casting cost already.
They could also be bringing back Replicate as a set/block mechanic and modify the reminder text to say "The replicate cost is the same as its casting cost"

BWG tri-color Garruk anyone?
But has anyone mentioned Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born?
Infinitely big Grimgrin t6, instant win if you also have Diregraf Captain out.
I know its a 3-4 card combo, but the deck wouldn't have to win with the combo, it can just be an optional win con.

Is kicker the only thing to make into the roil playable?
