From 737: "I want to keep this god walker train going, but with a twist. For the next card, the planeswalker cannot gain loyalty counters from activating abilities, but must still be able to gain counters somehow."

Wild
September 1, 2016 5:20 a.m.

You just created a loop on a single card. He sees himself as a permanent removing him from the battlefield, so he destroys himself... but he can't be, because in response he would exile himself which would.... you get the idea.

Shoot, I didn't even realize you could process Norin the Overprepared. Also, he wasn't supposed to loop, but I guess the "another" bit can be interpreted in a few different ways. How bout this:
Norin, the Extremely Cautious
Legendary Creature - Human Warrior
Whenever a player casts a spell, activates or triggers an ability, or attacks with a creature, exchange ~ with a basic land you own from outside the game. If that land was taken from your sideboard, put ~ in your sideboard. If that land would leave the battlefield, remove it from the game instead. At the end of the turn, return ~ to the battlefield and remove that land from the game, then put it back in your sideboard if it was taken from there.
If ~ would ever leave the battlefield because of another permanent, another spell, or another ability, instead remove ~ from the game, destroy that permanent or counter that spell or ability, and return ~ to the battlefield.
2/2
Try to break this norin, and make another two color titan

September 1, 2016 11:40 p.m.
The haste on Martial Titan is only useful when he ETB because all attackers are declared at the same time. Gaining haste after Martial Titan attacks would only be useful for TAP abilities.
