Top 10 Best Planeswalkers in MTG – 10. Teferi, Hero of Dominaria
February 16, 2025Planeswalkers were first introduced to Magic in Lorwyn, back in 2007. Just like the new card frame, double-faced cards, foils, the introduction of Standard and deck construction rules, they are one of the things that is supposed to have killed Magic. With almost 300 planeswalker cards printed, that death surely must be coming any day now, especially as more and more planeswalker cards are printed every set, right? In truth, planeswalkers have become a huge part of the game, represented in decks of all kinds, and some of them have risen to the top as the best planeswalkers ever.
- Teferi, Hero of Dominaria
A multiformat all-star, Teferi, Hero of Dominaria is everything that a control deck wants. He draws cards, he removes permanents and has an ultimate that will lock down and win a game. This card was incredible during its stint in Standard and has now found new homes in Pioneer and Modern, where it’s one of the premier late-game threats in white-blue-based control. This five-mana planeswalker costs an effective three when it resolves – giving you mana back to hold up protective countermagic – and when unanswered, will absolutely bury an opponent in card advantage before exiling all their permanents. Not to mention you can’t lose to an empty library with a Teferi, as you can just keep using the -3 to retuck it each turn.
