"Guess who's back? Back again. Garruks back , Garruks back , Garruks back...."

And yes we are so happy to see him back and free the curse of the Chain Veil. This new planeswalker cost a little less than Garruk , Apex Predator but he combines a lot of the qualities that we want our Cursed Huntsman to have.

He starts off with 5 loyalty counters and you have a choice of using the first ability to create 2 2/2 Black/Green Wolves that have a special ability that seems to be related to the "Food" of Eldrain. When these tokens die you get to put a loyalty counter on each Garruk you control!

Each of them! So these wolves will benefit all the Garruks in your EDH or Oathbreaker deck. That word excited me and I am already brewing what should be a monstrous Golgari colored Oathbreaker based in this guy.

The 2nd ability which is a -3 lets Garruk swing his axe in the direction of an opposing players creature or your own. And again you gain a benefit by drawing a card! Seemed like a blue thing to do but then again you gain knowledge when you kill something right? Like where to hit next time.

And the Ultimate ability is a whopping -6 that gives your creatures that good ol Overrun ability that the original Garruk used to give. The catch however is that you could only increase your counters to 6 if at least one of your wolves die. 

Oh well there are a lot of ways to die. Attacking , Blocking or Sacrificing them makes no difference as Garruk can just create more with his first ability. 

Welcome back Garruk. You are on my wish list once again!
