Fast, Independent, Strong Abilities, Flexible. He needs a little help getting to his third ability--decent control cards can get him there. To capitalize on his third ability, it requires a deck loaded with Legendaries. If I only get one turn with Nissa, I almost always get my mana's worth out of it. You don't actually need the direct damage spells (thank you third ability), it just makes matches end quicker. Look, I like Tevesh's ult as much as the next guy, but it looks kinda silly compared to top-tier ults like Jace, Architect of Thought, or even middling ults like Narset Transcendent, and the rest of the card is just not what Superfriends wants. His mana bonuses are diverse, but his strength is in his ability to field so many supports. Generally, the more colors a Planeswalker has affinity with, the more expensive they are to purchase and level up. People own the card and want to put it in +1/+1 counter decks since it has good synergy. Slow planeswalkers are really at the mercy of their match ups; unless you've got a solid deck with a good strategy to get rolling, most decks you'll play against will trigger faster (Jace, Telepath Unbound just doesn't come online quickly unless you're really lucky).

Otherwise, I see no reason to just move onward. - Kaya, Orzhov Usurper (W / B) (+3/+1/+3/+1/0) 6/7/6: Her first two abilities are rather lackluster, but her rather cheap third ability has the ability to be a one-hit kill.

Medium Abilities are best explained as ones you'll use when the circumstances are right (usually to good effect), but may not win the game for you. Outside of blocks that use Energize, he's not that great. Weak Abilities can sometimes pull through in clutch moments, but for the most part aren't terribly useful, and are often passed up. For Basically Top Tier, these take a little more to get started, but they are still very powerful walkers. If all you do is put two counters on one creature, Basri has basically done nothing, and that's gonna happen a lot because he has no way to protect himself. - Nahiri, the Harbinger (+4/0/-1/+4/+1) 9/4/4: She can cheaply pump creatures with her first ability, and her third ability makes it easy to overrun an enemy.

Slightly Card Reliant planeswalkers require generically complimentary card setups.

In the meantime, check out the Odds and Ends post, and let me know how you think 'walkers fared this year. Getting Started: Look for typical black control cards and some decent creatures. - Liliana, Death's Majesty (-2/+4/+5/+3/-1) 5/5/5: The only thing keeping Liliana from Tier 1 is that to truly capitalize on her abilities, you'll need to find creatures that have good "when this creature enters the battlefield" or "when this creature is destroyed" mechanics.

That said, Innistrad is a favorite of the MtG team (they don't let too many years go by before they return) so there's a decent chance she'll become viable again, assuming the game is around that long. - Angrath, the Flame Chained (B / R) (-1/+2/+4/+4/-1) 7/6/6: If you're looking for a solid discard alternative to Liliana, Defiant Necromancer, look no further. He's solidly a "Vanity Tier" choice, whose main purpose seemingly is to annoy your matchups as an AI deck, since many win conditions would be thwarted by his abilities.

Slow, Card Reliant, Fairly Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. - Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants (W) (+3/0/0/+3/+3) 6/5/8: His third ability is quite powerful, and his other abilities scale on par with many other white planeswalkers. 2.

If you have a strong Ixalan/Rivals of Ixalan collection (especially with Enrage) she's more of a Tier 2 planeswalker currently. - Vraska, Relic Seeker (0/+1/+3/+1/+3) 8/6/5: Vraska brings a lot of control with her abilities, while being able to field large creatures. Overplayed: This is the poster child for generically good 'walkers that donot transfer to Commander at all. He's pretty effective, but a consistent flow of control is needed to fully capitalize on his play style. - Fblthp, the Lost (B) (+2/+3/+1/+2/+1): Although his mana bonuses are pretty solid, his abilities make him quite the gimmicky planeswalker. With more recent Planeswalkers, the HP added is lower at low levels, presumably as an additional incentive to level up. Fast, Independent, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. - Sarkan the Mad (B / R) (+1/+1/+2/+2/+1) 9/7/6: Think of him as the more expensive Samut that relies quite a bit on dragons.

I'm striving not to let personal dread influence my rankings too much (whenever I see Arlinn Kord in Legacy events I scramble my deck for efficient control options because they're bound to have Ulrich of the Krallenhorde, and probably Olivia, Mobilized for War and Decimator of Promises or Emrakul just for kicks and giggles). Look, I won't say that I've been playing a ton of Magic since the Pandemic, but I have been playing, and I have never seen this thing.

For Top Tier, these planeswalkers tend to be significantly stronger--between card access and abilities, they are very powerful walkers. - Ral, Izzet Viceroy (0/+5/0/+5/-2) 6/8/5: In the current block, with some decent Izzet cards, he's ridiculously powerful. - Ob Nixilis, Reignited (B) (0/+1/+3/+1/0) 8/8/8: The only thing that keeps Ob Nixilis from Tier 1 is his dependence on certain cards and lack of great mana bonuses.
