| | ==Background== |
| | The '''Swarmlord''' is a uniquely powerful Tyranid bioform based on the Hive Tyrant strain and it is the most powerful synapse creature ever created by the Hive Mind. Amongst the billions of creatures created by the Tyranid Hive Mind, there exists one as old as the Tyranid species itself, the ultimate conduit through which the Hive Mind's implacable will is enforced. |

| ===Story===
| | |
| The story revolves around beings known as Planeswalkers. One in a million people are born with a Planeswalker spark, and it is even rarer for it to ignite. However, due to the infinite size of the multiverse, Planeswalkers are vast in number.

|
| All Planeswalkers have the ability to use magic and "planeswalk", which is an ability used to travel through different planes. They used to be god-like entities, until the Mending happened due to the amount of temporal rifts there were in the multiverse. The Mending healed the multiverse, but changed the spark forever, greatly weakening the planeswalkers. That is the in-verse explanation, while the out-of-verse explanation is WotC finds it hard to make stories revolving around god-like entities.
| | '''[[Lifting Strength]]:''' |
|
| |
|
| A certain number of Planeswalkers created a group known as "The Gatewatch", which seeks to end evil in the multiverse and bring peace to all. The original members are Gideon Jura, Chandra Nalaar, Nissa Revane, and Jace Beleren, with more joining in along the story, such as Liliana Vess or Teferi

| ===Gameplay===
| |
| '''Magic: the Gathering''' is an iconic card game made by the company ''Wizards of the Coast'' in 1993. It is a fantasy card game, involving spells, goblins, dragons, lightning, merfolk, elves, etc. It is a 2+ player game that is turn based, involving different "steps" such as "Untap", Combat, End-Step, etc. | |
|
| |
|
| There are four primary rarity ratings for cards, determined by the color of the symbol on the mid-right side of the card. The four ratings are: Common (Black), Uncommon (Silver), Rare (Gold), and Mythic (Orange)
| | '''[[Speed|Combat Speed]]:''' |
|
| |
|
| There are also many formats, most of which contain 60 cards, allowing up to 4 copies of the same "nonbasic land cards" to be used in it.
| | '''[[Reactions|Reaction Speed]]:''' |
| *''Standard'' plays with the more recent cards.
| |
| *''Pioneer'' plays with the cards printed with and after the ''Return to Ravnica'' block
| |
| *''Modern'' plays with more range of cards, but printed after a certain date.
| |
| *''Legacy'' plays with most cards, barring the ones that are banned in the format.
| |
| *''Vintage'' plays with almost all the cards, but some are restricted to one of each (I.E, Black Lotus).
| |
| *''Pauper'' plays with common cards only
| |
| *''Commander'' is a more unique format compared to the others. Instead of having 60 cards, it has 100, including one "commander" that is a legendary creature or a planeswalker that says it can be your commander. The deck's color identity is based on their commander. The commander resides in the command zone, being able to being able to cast from there by their original cost + 2 more mana for each time they have been cast from there.

| ==Powers of the Verse==
| | '''[[Stamina]]:''' |
| Magic: the Gathering is a rather impressive verse in terms of power. Prior to the Mending, Planeswalkers at a minimum were '''Universe level+''' with a massive array of spells, and being immortal and hard to kill. After the Mending however, a lot of them were weakened, varying from '''Athlete level''' to '''Island level''' physically, but having spells that can ignore durability and/or are stronger than their physicals.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are also extra-planar entities that remained extremely powerful regardless of the Mending, such as The Eldrazi or the Ur-Dragon. The most powerful being in the multiverse is ultimately [["You" (Magic: the Gathering)|you]]
| | '''[[Range]]:''' |
|
| |
|
| In terms of AP, the verse caps out at '''Complex Multiverse level'''. In terms of hax, it has a vast amount of it, including [[Mind Manipulation]], [[Dimensional Travel]], [[Abstract Existence]], [[Time Manipulation]], [[Fire Manipulation]], [[Death Manipulation]], [[Reality Warping]], etc.

| ==Verse Scaling==
| | '''Weaknesses:''' |
| Weaker characters at the very least scale to Eternals, who not only are skilled warriors from the best of the best from Amonkhet, but they can also punch through walls. While using Magic, they can go up to '''Building level+''', '''Large Town level''', '''Island level''', and many other ratings throughout Tiers 9-6
