That's cool and all, but how does an apparently nonexistant brick wall have first strike, much less any power at all? You don't hit the brick wall, it hits you first.

it has FS because it is not really there, when you run into a glass door, it isnt the door that hurts

find a way to keep the charge counters down on it, and it is an awesome defender able to stop most things

Simple fix for keeping it in play: Eon Hub

One of the best walls ever made, Eon Hub makes this creature a God among walls. Plus if you put out Followed Footsteps with those two it gets even better. You have a basically impenetrable wall of first strike death.

No-one suggested Rolling Stones? It's a 7 power wall!

7 Attack and Defender. It's like it's taunting you! Still, epic wall. Sure, it has low Toughness, but what's going to survive the First Strike of doom it dishes out? If you believe the best defense is a good offense, this is the wall for you.

Looks as though it's been pulled from Tron. Which is fitting, since it's an invisible wall bordering a level. Take THAT, Gordan Freeman!

This card was possibly one of the only sensible reasons to create an animate wall deck. This aura was never really useful, though.

Gotta love the art on this one. Maybe the most literal(-looking) wall in all of Magic.

Hahaha! Worst art in all of Magic! "Illusionary Wall? It's got flying does it? OK... so there are like... these bricks... but they're sort of transparent cos they're an illusion or something... and they float in the air. Can I have my commission now?" How are we supposed to believe that ghost bricks deal damage anyway?

Flying, lightning-fast walls. You better believe it. Drop Rolling Stones and you'll probably flatten your opponent in short order.

This is possibly the coolest "Timmy" wall Wizards have ever made next to Sunweb.

It's not a brick wall. It's not a glass wall.

It's a laser wall. It's a friggen wall made of lasers.

GradiustheFox, it might have low toughness for a wall, but it's high enough to survive Lightning Bolt, which was friggin' all over the place at the time. I'm pretty sure that's exactly why they made its toughness 4.

In Soviet Russia, wall run into you!

Since it's illusionary I suppose that it deals damage by suddenly sprouting spikes or firing missiles or something.

The question is how does it deal damage at all, let alone so much, while being illusionary.

Oddly not a good wall to put in a Doran, the Siege Tower wall deck.

@VoidedNote - I don't think Eon Hub and Followed Footsteps work well together...

Will pay someone to alter 4 of these cards into the cover of Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Wouldn't that totally rule? Just the actual wall part of the card, everything else in tact.
