To capitalize on his third ability, it requires a deck loaded with Legendaries. It's way more fragile and it absolutely fails the single activation test: scry 2 one time for three mana is incredibly bad. - Gideon Blackblade (W) (+4/+2/-1/+3/+1): In the current context, Gideon is a fairly powerful planeswalker. Getting Started: Look for cards that enhance your creatures. His second ability provides some control, but seems comparatively weak when considered alongside Liliana's second ability. Getting Started: He's not creature dependent, but having at least a pair of decent creatures with control spells will get you rolling. I like Jace, Mirror Mage for a lot of the same reasons. Getting Started: Look for loyalty generating cards, cards that destroy creatures, and cards that make you or your opponent draw cards. Uses an old mechanic, but still very useful.

Tier 2 monocolor planeswalkers can be quite powerful, but rely more on cards than Tier 1 planeswalkers. - 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. - Fblthp, the Lost (B) (+2/+3/+1/+2/+1): Although his mana bonuses are pretty solid, his abilities make him quite the gimmicky planeswalker. Getting Started: Grab a few control cards. I'm assuming that you're planning on throwing in thematically complementary cards into their decks (albeit many Tier 1s don't need you to be all that choosy). Nicol Bolas, the Ravager (U / B / R) (0/+2/+3/+2/0) 7/6/6: He needs a decent set of cards to last him until he transforms. - Koth of the Hammer (R) (-1/-1/0/+9/0) 10/6/3: Koth has ridiculous mana bonuses, and cheap mechanics that help him get red matches.

Create your own MTGPQ Planeswalkers (4.4) ranking to contribute to these Community Rankings. Overplayed: I guess the discard decks, like Tinybones, Trinket Thief, could consider this, but even then, I feel like you can do much better. - Dovin Baan (W / U) (+3/+3/0/0/0) 5/8/5: The thing that saves Dovin Baan from Tier 4 status is that his abilities are pretty powerful and somewhat self-sustaining; that said, he needs a good set of cards to make him viable (but once he's there, he does quite well). Getting Started: cheap creature cards mixed with control will thoroughly annoy your opponents. Getting Started: Big creatures. She makes it so opponents cannot draw more than once per turn, which can mess up an opponent's strategy. I'm open to reclassification for a well presented case.

After that, with only minimal effort, he'll easily win. Relies on an old mechanic. Enough about design principles. - Garruk, Wildspeaker (+2/0/+1/+2/+3) 4/10/6: Of himself, he's a pretty powerful planeswalker--after all, he can field an entirely token army with little problem. Drag the images into the order you would like. Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. - Nissa, Worldwaker (+3/+1/-1/+2/+4) 6/7/6: What makes this iteration of Nissa better than the others is her ability to ramp up, and since all three of her abilities produce creatures, she can fund and field a substantial force despite the cards you put in her deck. Typically, a longer game implies more control is being utilized. - Angrath, the Flame Chained (-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 a bit easier to get going than Karn or Nicol Bolas 2 (and can get an easier "quick win"); if the game runs long, though, the other two easily surpass his benefits. 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. Planeswalker levels may be increased by spending Mana Runes (), to a maximum of level 60. Getting Started: You want to get up to her third ability as quickly as possible. - Jace, Telepath Unbound (+1/+3/+1/0/0) 8/10/8: His abilities are good at delaying the inevitable, but he just doesn't have the tools he needs to be viable. By incorporating one of the strongest points of green into your deck, you're counteracting the strongest points of Garruk, and vice-versa. - Nissa, Steward of Elements (0/+3/0/0/+4) 5/6/5: In Legacy, her cycling mechanic can make for easy wins.

Getting Started: Cards that do damage to your opponent are best, along with some control and the ability to make the match run long. - Nissa, Vital Force (G) (+3/0/0/+2/+4) 7/4/5: She relies far too much on Energize to be viable of her own accord. Outside of Legacy, cards that convert mana along with control cards. Medium, Independent, Fairly Strong Abilities, Flexible. In this time without flip werewolves, she leaves a lot to be desired. Getting Started: Find lots of dragons. Rank it Now! Medium, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven.

Fast, Independent, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. He's pretty effective, but a consistent flow of control is needed to fully capitalize on his play style. - Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants (+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. Getting Started: Look for solid green creatures. Tier 3 are good planeswalkers, but rely heavily on the right deck setup. Lots of lifelink. Over, Under, or Just Right? All mono-color Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to nine. 4. Getting Started: Look for cards that force your opponent to discard, and cards that can be used to kill enemy creatures quickly. In a match that goes longer, the tiers would adjust somewhat. Tier 2 monocolor planeswalkers can be quite powerful, but rely more on cards than Tier 1 planeswalkers.

Slow, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. 15. Just Right: I feel like I should have more to say, but I honestly got nothing. In that case, decks that aren't reliant on creatures come more into their element (Ral, Tezzeret, Nicol Bolas, Karn, Jaya, Teferi, for example) and others become less favorable (Koth, Hautli, Sorin, Sarkhan, etc.). Nicol-Bolas, God-Pharaoh (-1/+3/+3/+3/-1) 5/8/5: He can effectively go creatureless, and comes with a lot of control. Most recent update: 6/4/2019, added Tamiyo.

Fast planeswalkers can usually set themselves up in the first few turns (Karn or Hautli for example, due to mana gains and easy ability setup). Create a ranking for MTGPQ: Dual Color Planeswalker. She only has one loyalty ability, however, and it only allows you to look at the top 4 cards you have and play one as long as it isn't a creature or land card. If I was gonna pick one here that wasn't completely terrible, it would be Chandra, Flame's Catalyst. Drag the images into the order you would like. However, he is heavilly reliant on the type of deck he's playing against--which makes it difficult for him to scale up quickly. Using a tier list allows you to group similar ranked items together and it's quick and easy to create a tier list. It's an Equipment 'walker! She does one thing, and it's a really great thing, so I'm absolutely on board. Getting Started: Thopter token generating cards and vehicles. Ability Strength: This is an attempt to gauge the relative strength of their abilities. You could play almost anything over Basri that said "counter" on it, and it'd probably be better. - Tezzeret, the Seeker (+2/+3/+2/0/0) 5/8/9: He's a great support-centric planeswalker. Medium, Independent, Strong Abilities, Flexible. Getting Started: Look for powerful direct damage spells, supports that help you draw/enhance damage. Jeska, Thrice Reborn is an odd commander to talk about because she's barely a planeswalker. Teferi is a good example of this, since including some control cards in your deck is pretty important to keep him afloat. - Ob Nixilis, Reignited (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. There are a few that have changed recently or that haven't come out yet, so my rankings might change upon my d. Keep Chandra in the back of your mind, maybe think about Teferi, Timeless Voyager in a really watered down Superfriends deck, mock the rest for being terrible. Sarkhan Unbroken (-1/+3/-1/+3/+3) 6/6/7: With a built in Deploy the Gatewatch, the ability to increase his mana bonuses, and overpowering token creatures, this iteration of Sarkhan is exceptionally powerful. Getting Started: Throw in control cards (return to hand, drain mana, increase cost, exile creatures/supports, disable creatures) and some decent creatures. Their abilities don't rely heavily on a certain block, nor do they rely on particular cards to get started.

Better +1 for discard decks.

Nicol-Bolas, God-Pharaoh (U / B / R) (-1/+3/+3/+3/-1) 5/8/5: He can effectively go creatureless, and comes with a lot of control.

Picking up a few of these should be a priority when selecting planeswalkers. https://wiki.mtgpq.info/w/index.php?title=Portal:Planeswalkers&oldid=21896. If you have a strong Ixalan/Rivals of Ixalan collection (especially with Enrage) she's more of a Tier 2 planeswalker currently. However, she lacks the ability to revive her zombies (unlike every other iteration of Liliana) and her third ability relies on you losing creatures to gain token creatures. Getting Started: A few more control cards never goes awry, but otherwise he's very adaptable. Getting Started: Get zombies. Getting Started: Lifelink. Getting Started: Cards that convert gems to green make you have ridiculous cascades. Medium, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Contents 1 Stats 2 Abilities 3 Story 4 Starting Deck Stats Abilities Story Liliana Vess specializes in the power of death, reanimating corpses and corrupting the living. Slow, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Flexible. A final note: I'm certain that many reading this list will probably find a few classifications they don't agree with.

I'm assuming that you're planning on throwing in thematically complementary cards into their decks (albeit many Tier 1s don't need you to be all that choosy). "Oh right, this thing!". Getting Started: Lands. For Basically Top Tier, these take a little more to get started, but they are still very powerful walkers. And an amount of HP is added every odd level, or Planeswalker Regeneration: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. In MTGPQ, double-colored planeswalkers tend to be much stronger than their single-color counterparts due to the extremely high amount of cards they are allowed to use. 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. Very down on this one. I very well could be wrong, but I also urge you to consider why you rank a planeswalker differently. Getting Started: Dinosaurs, especially with the Enrage mechanic. Fast, Independent, Fairly Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Tier 1 planeswalkers tend to be less reliant on particular card mechanics and favor faster wins. - Arlinn Kord (R / G) (0/0/0/+3/+3) 7/5/5: In the time of werewolves, she was ridiculous. I need this. Five mana Shock isn't exactly great, either. Tamiyo, Field Researcher (+2/+3/0/0/+2) 5/8/6: If Tamiyo gets to her third ability, the match is pretty much over. That's not even touching on the ludicrous Landfall ability, and I'm not even talking about in Landfall decks. Relies on an old mechanic. Fast, Independent, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. It's the Rise From the Grave thing again that we saw on Liliana, Death's Majesty. Never seen this thing there either. Medium planeswalkers might take a little effort to get started, either due to poor mana gains or a reliance on certain abilities to come online (Vraska is a good example of medium, since she might take a few turns to get started with her mana gains, but has access to an effective ability fairly quickly). Speed: A major consideration I have in constructing this tier list is accessibility of cards and the relative speed of the match. Spells/supports that generate lots of matches are key--think of spells that convert mana, or destroy gems. - Liliana, Untouched by Death (-2/+3/+7/+3/-2) 8/6/5: In most situations, she'd probably be at the lower end of Tier 2/high end of Tier 3. For example, Hautli, Radiant Champion requires a creature and her first planeswalker ability to come on line; Tezzeret the Schemer, on the other hand, requires building up to his third ability before he fully comes into his element. Getting Started: You want cards that help you draw more cards. Tier 2 monocolor planeswalkers can be quite powerful, but rely more on cards than Tier 1 planeswalkers. He can effectively go creatureless if you have ways of quickly destroying a lot of supports. Getting Started: He'll need some strong white creatures. Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Flexible. - Tezzeret, the Seeker (B) (+2/+3/+2/0/0) 5/8/9: He's a great support-centric planeswalker. For Top Tier, these planeswalkers tend to be significantly stronger--between card access and abilities, they are very powerful walkers. - 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. His reliance on getting good cards, though, is what keeps him from Tier 1. 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. The downside to this, though, is that green does creatures best. Slow, Card Reliant, Weak Abilities, Flexible. Over, Under, or Just Right? Is it easy to pull off? Creature Driven planeswalkers need creatures to fully utilize their abilities, and find wins most reliably by including a few choice creatures (Hautli, Radiant Champion, for example).

Getting Started: To capitalize on her mechanics, you want cards that have Activate abilities, or can trigger them (destroying gems, converting gems, etc.).

Getting Started: Look for loyalty generating cards, cards that destroy creatures, and cards that make you or your opponent draw cards. Relies on an old mechanic. Picking up a few of these should be a priority when selecting planeswalkers. Could it be that you have an exceptionally strong collection in their colors, or perhaps your collection is lacking in their strengths? Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven.

MTGPQ Planeswalkers (4.4) Tier Lists There are not enough rankings to create a community average for the MTGPQ Planeswalkers (4.4) Tier List yet. They allow you to play powerful decks without straining your color mastery. 13 are broken/overpowered and 22 are good/weak/bad? Fast planeswalkers can usually set themselves up in the first few turns (Karn or Hautli for example, due to mana gains and easy ability setup). Upon looking into Planeswalker design as a whole, we wanted to try to make every Planeswalker a unique build around their character. - Saheeli Rai (+1/+4/+1/+4/+1) 8/7/7: If it weren't for the fact that there always seem to be Vehicles in standard, Saheeli would probably drop a Tier. Over, Under, or Just Right? These are all bad. Colorless cards. - Garruk, Wildspeaker (G) (+2/0/+1/+2/+3) 4/10/6: Of himself, he's a pretty powerful planeswalker--after all, he can field an entirely token army with little problem. Getting Started: Look for Ally creatures from the Zendikar block. - Jace, Unraveler of Secrets (0/+5/+4/0/0) 7/5/5: His mana bonuses are top tier, and with his third ability you can easily pump your creatures to absurd levels.

All Planeswalkers had abilities straight out of the gate, at level 1. Getting Started: Look for cards that force your opponent to discard, and cards that can be used to kill enemy creatures quickly.

The listed mana bonuses, deck limits and health are given for planeswalkers at their maximum level. - 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. - Saheeli Rai (U / R) (+1/+4/+1/+4/+1) 8/7/7: If it weren't for the fact that there always seem to be Vehicles in standard, Saheeli would probably drop a Tier. Fast, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Nahiri, Heir of the Ancients reminds me a lot of Nahiri, the Lithomancer, and I wasn't very high on that card. Medium, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. Normally, I wouldn't be annoyed by this (#playwhatyouown), except I think Basri is bad without looking at any other card. The +1 is kinda cute with, like, Voltron, or Infect, but four mana for that is not worth doing. - 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 also provides a lot of flexibility by providing so many spell slots, so look to include creature seeking and gem-shifting abilities to pay for everything. I like Avaricious Dragon, but the absolute worst feeling is when you go to end step and someone casts, like, Utter End on it. You have to be able to do better, right?
