For Challenge # 004. That first ability takes up a fair amount of space. Ah well. I suppose I'll have to work with the smaller font. His spells are Abednego's Dreams and Abednego's Banishment.

by Link:

Kudos for a cool name and for making an illusion-lord planeswalker, but I just don't think I would use him. I would just hate to use his last ability, generally, even if it does combo well with his dreams.

by jmgariepy:

I agree, that this card isn't for everyone. Its very fiddly. It seems like a natural fit for the mastermind version of Johnny players, without being so bogus that the rest of the Magic world can't puzzle out what's going on here. I'm also a bit concerned for that Johnny player when he activates this in a 5 player free for all match. I kind of assume most opponents will just swing with their new illusions against Abednego. Johnny would have to play this card smart.
