This card is the pre-release promo in M15 -
Relevant text - "That's right, you'll have a chance to duel Garruk himself thanks to the gigantic Garruk card included in every Magic 2015 Prerelease box. Yup, every single box comes with your own oversized Garruk, ready to do battle. In fact, it looks a little something like this:"

The article says "One player plays his or her Prerelease Magic deck as normal. This player always goes first. Pretty straightforward. The other player, however, plays as Garruk!" Which from a Timmy view point sounds fun but from a Spike view point sounds like it is going to be hell to set up a tournament where there is an asymmetric playing field.

It won't be legal in constructed - it can't be. That would be ridiculous.

I think it's a challenge. Like a side event thing. Not part of the actual sealed event.

OK that makes more sense from a balance perspective. Although I feel that few player will have time to play during the sealed event. Maybe those eliminated early from prizes but who want to stick around for post pre-release drafting will have time for it.

He must have a deck though, right? Maybe not, but it just seems like it would be kinda boring to pilot a planeswalker who just sits there and produces tokens and kills everything else around. I mean, his win con is swinging with a pack of 2/2 wolves and presumably one 3/2. Hmmmmmm

Seems a bit boring and straightforward.
Where are the people responsible for the Hydra and the Minotaurs? (excluding Xenagos, as that deck was a bit too easy to defeat)
