M:tG GURPS

The setting is based on invasion block with the alteration that newwalkers and oldwalkers coexist,
which is not the case in the canon. You play a newwalker who is, for whatever reason, on Dominaria as
Rath begins to merge with it.
In addition to a 250 point template, you have 100 points, and may have 100 points in disadvantages.
Reducing stats is not advisable, but such reductions do not count against disadvantage cap.
Please contact me about any rulings.
races- you may be any sentient being that was conceived and born by a natural means. For the vast
majority of such beings, this would mean your parents had intercourse and you were born/ your egg
was laid six months to two years later. Treefolk, and some strains of thallid may be sentient, both of
which start life as unintelligent sessile forms and later become aware and active. However zombies,
constructs, phyrexian-style cyborgs, and many types of vampire cannot be planeswalkers. Esper style
cyborgs CAN, because they are biological beings with mechanical parts, rather than non-living beings
with biological parts recreated in a synergetic way.
However you should not have a character less than 3 ft tall or larger than a centaur. Sm-1 to SM +2,
unless you can change size to a size that can interact with human size society.
You receive the following advantages for free(this increases your point total by 250
Unusual background 10pts.
Jumper (world) 100pts.
Six levels of Magic. 60Pts. (special advantage)
Thirty points worth of mana bonds (see below)
seven spells (see below) (35)
15 points to be put towards social advantage(s) (this may include Animal empathy or similar)
special advantagesMagic- This advantage comes in six levels and you must choose a specialization (WUBRG) when you
take it. Each level allows you to cast a spell with a CMC of that much or less that can be cast with
mana solely of that color. It also allows you to have that many mana bonds online with places that
produce mana of that color without risking manaburn. If you have six levels of magic, colored mana
symbols no longer count against the CMC cap.
Versatility- This advantage comes in three levels. The first costs 5pts, the second 15, the third 30. You
The amount of pts spent on this is cumulative, so to have verstility 2, you need pay only 15 pts. Level
one grants you magic equal to your magic level in a second color. The second allows a third. The third
level grants all five specializations of magic, removes the possibility of mana burn, and allows you to
cast and learn any spell, even those you cannot cast with any combination of lands you have bonded
with.
Special abilitiesspells-

you may choose access to a set of three spells for five points.
You normally have seven cards in your starting hand, with all other cards in your library. The
combination of your cards availible to you at the beginning of each encounter is decided by a random
card generator the GM will create for the purpose using online tools.
All lands you have access to are available ton you at all times and do not count against your hand.
A point of damage is equivalent to 1 HP, every three becoming 1d6
Poison damage reduces ST and HT by one, which will reduce HP and FP by at least 1 each. But not
speed
Mill effects deal damage to speed and IQ, recucing also will, per,
Tutor effects add to your hand any spell effect you have seen or otherwise directly witnessed, with an
option to immediately buy it to include in your deckfor two points.
Wish effects grant you the ability to tutor or learn any appropriate spell or, possibly, land.
Scry and other library manipulation effects work as normal, consult the GM for partial knowledge f
your card generator.
Recursion effects that return spells to hands function as tutors that can only work on spells you already
know (you may purchase additional copies of a spell in this manner, but this option is open between
scenes in any event.)
Resurrection spells target actual corpses. You might be able to substitute this card for the card you
rezzed. (summoned beings are constructs, in most cases, though, so you wouldn't lose access to a
creature if it takes a terror to the face)
You may use equipment and cast combat buffs on yourself.
Ripple is forbidden due to smaller deck sizes
Storm counts all spells, activated creature abilities that cost mana, and a few other things.
Recover works like this- you can return it to your hand whenever a creature dies.
Phyrexians and most phyrexian mana costed spells are disallowed.
Eldrazi are disallowed.
Zendikar Vampires shouldn't be available, though it can be justified with a good backstory.
All sets after Legends are legal, a few earlier cards might be available at a special cost.
You may not have multiple spells with the the same name, other than relentless rats and similar cards.
Relentless rats is special in that if it comes into your hand, it remains there even if you cast it, though it
might still be discarded as normal.
Legends are usually not available, except as allies. If you have a Legendary ally, they can't must meet
GM approval, and they are your commander ala EDH. This restricts your color choices, but allows you
to have a 75% minion ally without the extra cost for minion. Kamigawaa cards may be used as
commanders or regular creatures. You must be able to cast the card the legend represents, which allows
you to resurrect or transport your general. Tuk-tuk may be in his golem form and any seemingly weak
legend may have numerous skills to counteract this seeming lack of utility. Generals may have Magic,
and you may give them mana to charge their abiliies. They may affect creatures and spells you use as
though they are their own, and vice-versa.
Non-creature Artifacts are not castable as spells, they are advantages with gadget limitations. You must

activate each with a fatigue point. Base cost is +150% of a land of comparable rarity, or the cost of
stattting out the power, whichever is lower.
You may not have PW's as allies, though you may have a powerful oldwalker as a patron.
Landsyou forge a bond with a piece of land and be able to withdraw a portion of its power each turn if you
activate that bond. Basic lands cost 5 points. Snow lands cost seven points. Common nonbasic lands
cost ten points. Uncommon lands cost 15, rares- 17, mythic lands (counting as the alpha duals and
other broken rares from early sets cost 20. Eye of Ugin is unlikely to be useful.)
rulesCombat with magic- Spells count as a physical attack, and rules and advantages linked to physical
attacks may be applicable. The most obvious is extra attack, which would allow PW's like Garruk or
Gideon to use their melee skills while casting. Counterspelling is a standard parry action, as are any
instants used during another character's iniative. You may buy extra parry-instants. Activating abilities
of permanents that have do not target is a free action.
Full on attack/defense- (usually red blaster types) may use full on attack in conjuction with casting for
one of the following effects- increase any save in conjunction with the spell they are casting, Increase
damage of a spell, reduce the target's dodge score by 2 if there is a dodge , or generate two additional
mana of a color they have active to cast a spell with multikicker or X in its casting cost. These same
options are available to parries with a full-on defense. If you have devoted a action to parrying, you
may cast spells for until the beginning of your next turn. If you use either full attack OR full defense,
you need not pay fatigue to cast multiple spells.
Special actions- When your turn begins you may activate a mana bond as a free action. You may cast a
spell as a standard attack, you may cast additional spells at the expense of one fatigue per each previous
spell. You may spend fatigue to activate artifacts as a free action.
You do not need to roll to hit with a spell. Most hostile spells allow a dodge attempt, however. Those
depicting an attack that cannot be dodged, such a electricity, almost always allow a resistance roll. The
save is opposed: your will or HT (whichever is higher) versus the most logical stat of the target,
modified by the CMC of the spell and the CMC of the target. A PW's CMC is considered equal to the
amount of mana they have active.
Other rules
Once activated, a mana bond remains online for sixty seconds. You may not draw on your full power
unless you are experiencing a fight-or-flight response.
All summoned creatures disappear after sixty seconds unless you pay mana equal to the amount of
active summons times the time in minutes you have had at least one active summon without
interruption.
When a card would be put into your graveyard, it goes to the bottom of your library.
Enchantments remain out there in the world unless you dismiss them, or they are destroyed.

The first time a caster is uses a spell, a d6 is rolled. In that many rounds, each caster draws a card.
If a you have mana available at the beginning of your turn in excess of your level of magic in the color
of the mana, you lose HP equal to that amount. (thus land that doesn't produce colored mana, or that
doesn't have a colored mana symbol, does not count.
then draw an additional card if you have an empty hand.
