Top Quality MTG Cards, Tournament Playable
One of the most oppressive and frustrating cards to play against, Teferi, Time Raveler sees widespread play in Modern and even makes a cameo in Legacy every now and again. This card is brutal – shutting down opposing countermagic and instant-speed interaction, making your counterspells unanswerable, while still bouncing threats and drawing cards all the […]
Not many cards have been banned in Legacy but not in Modern, but Wrenn and Six is amongst that elite crew. It turns out that Wrenn and Six recurring Wasteland is just a little too good, and so now Wrenn hangs out in Modern, recurring fetchlands and Horizon Canopy lands while also dealing with pesky […]
I find it hard to believe we live in a world where Jace, the Mind Sculptor isn’t one of the most-played planeswalkers across blue-based control decks. For years and years, this card was so good, widely seen as the very best planeswalker and one of the best cards ever printed. Jace broke Standard in half […]
A freshly-reprinted classic, Liliana of the Veil has not only been around for a long time but also has remained towards the top of lists like these throughout her entire career. She may have been the second-best planeswalker ever for a long while there, when Boomer Jund reigned supreme in Modern, but more recent offerings […]
A recent addition to the best-of-all-time lists, The Wandering Emperor has swiftly risen through the ranks to showcase her power as one of the premier utility planeswalkers available to control and midrange decks. With a combination of disruption and defensive 2/2s, The Wandering Emperor does a great job of managing the board in earlier turns, […]
Karn Liberated is one of the scariest planeswalkers ever printed, principally because you most often have to deal with him on turn three. Any seven-drop is going to punch above its weight when consistently deployed that early, and that’s what Tron decks are all about. Tron isn’t the Tier 1 menace in Modern that it […]
Planeswalkers don’t get a lot of love in EDH. They’re so much worse in a format where there are three hostile combat steps between activations rather than one, as it’s so much easier to get them off the table. Nonetheless, Nicol Bolas, the Ravager has flourished as one of the most popular Grixis commanders. Despite […]
It takes a lot for a card to get restricted in Vintage, but Narset, Parter of Veils is so oppressive in that format in particular that you can only play one copy. The double-Impulse effect is nice, but the real kicker is shutting down opposing card draw while being up two cards yourself. Even after […]
Planeswalkers 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 […]
Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines has shown us how good a Panharmonicon can be in the command zone already, and Gandalf the White does similar for Legendary permanents and artifacts, while also giving you the extremely powerful ability to play at instant speed. Gandalf arrives precisely when he means to, and he brings some of […]
