Anyone who can't make an educated guess as to what a Planeswalker is really needs to try and use a smidgen more of their brain. 😮💨
Edit: or maybe it's less literally the name in every other language.
@Semjaza @mike no, what they mean is 75% of magic players have never played with a planeswalker card. Most magic players don't buy boxes or singles, they just pick up a pack at Target sometimes. They've probably got enough cards to build a couple decks if they use all their commons. Many use old cards, from before Planeswalkers were invented. Many are kids. Planeswalkers don't come with all their rules text written on the card, so many set them aside because they don't know what to do.
That statistic, that 75% have never played with/seen a Planeswalker card I find much more believable.
I misinterpreted the "75% don't know what a Planeswalker is" as meaning lore wise they didn't get the concept.
@Semjaza ah sorry for the long posts then
Nae probs. I know I've given far more than my fair share of long replies to misunderstandings before now.
