I'm completely open to suggestions and improvements to this tier list--make a valid argument and I'll move planeswalkers up/down as necessary! I like Jace, Mirror Mage for a lot of the same reasons. He's the strongest creatureless solution out there, with plenty of control options to keep the enemy's side clear. Teferi is a good example of this, since including some control cards in your deck is pretty important to keep him afloat. Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. Medium, Very Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Flexible. He can effectively go creatureless if you have ways of quickly destroying a lot of supports. The fact that he can field every card in the game helps a bit too. - Liliana, the Last Hope (0/+4/+5/0/0) 8/5/3: As far as Zombies go, this version of Liliana is quite powerful. Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. Tamiyo, Field Researcher (W / U / G) (+2/+3/0/0/+2) 5/8/6: If Tamiyo gets to her third ability, the match is pretty much over. 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). Medium, Independent, Strong Abilities, Flexible. Fast, Independent, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Getting Started: hints. Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. 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). A final note: I'm certain that many reading this list will probably find a few classifications they don't agree with. - Chandra, Torch of Defiance (R) (0/0/+4/+5/0) 5/6/5: Back when Energize was a viable mechanic, this iteration of Chandra was quite powerful--she could get rid of Energized gems and do substantial damage at the same time. Also, cards that heal you. Sua centelha ainda [] Just Right: After composing this write-up, I said to myself, "You know, I could probably make good use of this dork in Jalira, Master Polymorphist." - Teferi, Hero of Dominaria (W / U) (+3/+4/-2/+1/+2) 6/7/6: Great mana bonuses, and so so so much control. - Ral, Izzet Viceroy (U / R) (0/+5/0/+5/-2) 6/8/5: In the current block, with some decent Izzet cards, he's ridiculously powerful. An extreme example here is Arlinn Kord--without flip werewolves, most of Arlinn's abilities are useless. They have great mana bonuses and embody the mechanics of their element. Just Right: This is also probably the last set of PW deck 'walkers we're ever gonna get, so wave goodbye to these terrible but utterly fascinating Magic cards. - Sorin, Grim Nemesis (+4/0/+4/0/0) 10/5/5: The only thing that keeps Sorin from a Tier 1 position is his low HP and that he needs both his second and third ability to turn any deck into an overpowering force. Relies on old mechanics. Fast, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. With a card like Storm the Vault, he becomes ridiculously powerful. Over, Under, or Just Right? Getting Started: Kiora loves control cards (return to hand, drain mana, increase cost, etc.) Narset is a good little blue planeswalker. Medium, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. - Ajani, Unyielding (+4/0/0/0/+2) 8/5/4: On paper, he's powerful. Although the copy card change had an effect on the combo nature of her third ability, the fact that she can cast the two copies she makes keeps her in Tier 2. How much of a board state do you need to protect Teferi? MtGPQ Deck Strategy & Planeswalker Discussion. Over, Under, or Just Right? Getting Started: Supports. Slow, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Flexible. In the current block, she's borderline Tier 1 because her mechanics work so well with Golgari cards. 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). For those of you who have no clue who I am (should be most of you), I have been playing paper magic for 15+ years and I've been playing MTGPQ since a month after it's release. 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. - Arlinn Kord (0/0/0/+3/+3) 7/5/5: In the time of werewolves, she was ridiculous. 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. Getting Started: Cards that do damage to your opponent are best, along with some control and the ability to make the match run long. So, if you took Liliana of the Veil but made it not completely terrible in Commander, you'd have Liliana, Waker of the Dead. These planeswalkers have decent mechanics, but rely heavily on card choices and specific strategies. Getting Started: Look for dragons and cards that combo with dragons. Getting Started: Find black creatures that have ETB (enter the battlefield) or destroy effects. link to download the tier list image: https://tiermaker.com/list/video-games/mtgpq-mono-color-planeswalker-tier-list-1358809/1824812Support the channel on Patreon:patreon.com/nalthazarJoin my Community Discord:https://discord.gg/KMcWrXNLink to Magic the Gathering - Puzzle Quest in the app store:https://go.onelink.me/1802098126/1109a1900:00 - Intro1:00 - PW Tier Changes13:08 - Basri Ket15:05 - Chandra Heart of Fire16:34 - Chandra Ignited19:30 - Ellywick Tumblestrum21:45 - Garruk Unleashed23:48 - Grand Master of Flowers26:32 - Jace Mirror Mage29:37 - Jeska Thrice Reborn32:12 - Liliana Waker of the Dead35:02 - Liliana Master of Death36:46 - Lolth Spider Queen39:29 - Lukka Wayward Bonder42:20 - Mordenkainen42:34 - Professor Onyx47:29 - Serra the Benevolent51:10 - Teferi Master of Time53:32 - Tyvar Kell54:56 - Wrenn and Seven57:24 - Zariel Archduke of Avernus59:31 - Closing Thoughts and Conclusion Medium-Fast, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. If you have a strong Ixalan/Rivals of Ixalan collection (especially with Enrage) she's more of a Tier 2 planeswalker currently. Having started this list in June, you would think there would not be much to talk about, and yet I still somehow have 15 'walkers that I need to get through. Getting Started: Look for particularly nasty white supports that help control the board like Seal Away, Suppression Bonds, Sphinx's Decree, and Ixalan's Binding. Medium, Independent, Strong Abilities, Flexible. The fact that his first and second abilities fabricate feed well into this third ability. Same as last time, if you want to know what changed in the 203 'walkers we're not talking about, there is an Odds and Ends companion post! His reliance on getting good cards, though, is what keeps him from Tier 1. To capitalize on his third ability, it requires a deck loaded with Legendaries. Medium, Very Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Flexible. All fine, but I still don't think she's very good as a whole. - Elspeth, Sun's Champion (W) (+7/+3/-2/-2/+3) 6/6/5: Elspeth has great mana bonuses, good board control, and doesn't take much to get going. Fast, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Creatureless. Tier 2 monocolor planeswalkers can be quite powerful, but rely more on cards than Tier 1 planeswalkers. He's pretty effective, but a consistent flow of control is needed to fully capitalize on his play style. Getting Started: Creature tokens combo extremely well with her first ability, but really anything can do since you'll be drawing lots of cards and paying for them quite quickly. Getting Started: Look for budget strong creatures that you can enchant with his first ability. - Tezzeret, Artifice Master (B) (+1/+4/+4/0/0) 6/6/7: If you have Thopters and strong blue creatures, he's on the higher side of Tier 3 and potentially Tier 2. Like, did everyone just decide this card was miserable and not play him? Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. - 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. Getting Started: In the theme of Gruul, you'll want large green creatures. 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.). Getting Started: Throw in control cards (return to hand, drain mana, increase cost, exile creatures/supports, disable creatures) and some decent creatures. A Planeswalker's deck may generally contain only cards including an affinity color, or colorless cards. Medium, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Over, Under, or Just Right? Slower, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. Typically, a longer game implies more control is being utilized. - Jaya Ballard (0/+4/0/+5/0) 5/8/6: She is one of the few planeswalkers that is set up to go creatureless. - Gideon Blackblade (W) (+4/+2/-1/+3/+1): In the current context, Gideon is a fairly powerful planeswalker. You know what my first thought was on seeing this Teferi was? All two-color Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to eight. Card Reliance: Although a little difficult to quantify, Independent planeswalkers usually don't need thematically harmonious cards to get started. After that, with only minimal effort, he'll easily win. Tier 3 are good planeswalkers, but rely heavily on the right deck setup. Never seen this thing there either. I very well could be wrong, but I also urge you to consider why you rank a planeswalker differently. Is it easy to pull off? Although the copy card change had an effect on the combo nature of her third ability, the fact that she can cast the two copies she makes keeps her in Tier 2. If you can protect him, though, Jace can be a lot more than Crystal Ball, especially if you can Kick him (and I know some people in my audience would love to do so). Medium, Card Reliant, Medium Abilities, Creature Driven. Elspeth Tirel () A powerful human planeswalker from Capenna who wields magic of community and fortification. Getting Started: Look for Ally creatures from the Zendikar block. Medium, Card Reliant, Fairly Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Her first ability alone--support destruction--makes her extremely powerful in a color that has notoriously annoying supports (Lich's Mastery, anyone?). - 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. Getting Started: You want cards that help you draw more cards. Getting Started: Look for cards that enhance your creatures. If you have the cards, these planeswalkers can bring the firepower. - Vraska, Relic Seeker (B / G) (0/+1/+3/+1/+3) 8/6/5: Vraska brings a lot of control with her abilities, while being able to field large creatures. Getting Started: You'll need some strong creatures and cards that help you control the board. - Ajani, Unyielding (W / G) (+4/0/0/0/+2) 8/5/4: On paper, he's powerful. Jeska, Thrice Reborn is an odd commander to talk about because she's barely a planeswalker. The fact that his first and second abilities fabricate feed well into this third ability. 2. - Jace, Cunning Castaway (U) (+2/+3/+2/+1/+1) 6/9/4: His abilities provide the creatures to do damage while you can focus on locking down your opponent with blue control spells. Better minus for the bigger creatures in Commander. The downside to this, though, is that green does creatures best. 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). - 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. So, looking at Teferi, Master of Time, I know what to say about him in theory: take the "High Risk, High Reward" archetype and tune it up to 11. - 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. - Liliana, Death's Majesty (B) (-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.

Fast, Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. - Arlinn Kord (R / G) (0/0/0/+3/+3) 7/5/5: In the time of werewolves, she was ridiculous. Sarkhan Unbroken (U / R / G) (-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. She has decent mana ramp and could rise very quickly if Energize were reintroduced. 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. It all connects! Mana bonuses Fast, Independent, Strong Abilities, Flexible. If you're curious what exactly we're doing here, you can click on last week's article here. Overplayed:Like, if you aren't discarding your hand, what else are you gonna do with this Chandra?

His whole kit is streamlined around Artifacts (a little bit vanguard supports with his first ability, but artifacts in general), and with the right setup, can pull out a lot of cards for free. Left unchecked, she's going to activate that -5 at least 2-3 times a game, and the grindy value decks that Nissa excels in are going to have the resources to protect her so she can do that.
