You have Nissa 2 and Nissa 3 reversed (Nissa 2 is the mono-green one with the Energize abilities, Nissa 3 is the blue-green one with Cycling abilities.). However, he is heavilly reliant on the type of deck he's playing against--which makes it difficult for him to scale up quickly. - Ajani, Unyielding (+4/0/0/0/+2) 8/5/4: On paper, he's powerful. Fast, Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Creature Driven. Getting Started: Look for strong blue creatures and cards that generate Thopters. These are all bad. In this time without flip werewolves, she leaves a lot to be desired. Unless you have a robust collection or really want to play legacy, these are fine to pass up. Over, Under, or Just Right? - 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. Relies on an old mechanic. - 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. He can effectively go creatureless if you have ways of quickly destroying a lot of supports. - Vraska, Golgari Queen (B / G) (0/0/+4/0/+4) 8/6/5: I know this is a bit of an unpopular opinion, but despite the fact that her third ability can be effectively abused, her whole kit is based around getting the match to go long, which doesn't hold up well against strong opponents. Lots of lifelink. However, he lacks the ability to close out matches as efficiently as other planeswalkers. In this time without flip werewolves, she leaves a lot to be desired.

Spells/supports that generate lots of matches are key--think of spells that convert mana, or destroy gems. Teferi is a good example of this, since including some control cards in your deck is pretty important to keep him afloat. Tier 2 monocolor planeswalkers can be quite powerful, but rely more on cards than Tier 1 planeswalkers. The Megill Ranking cinematic universe is in full swing here! - Hautli, Warrior Poet (+4/-1/-1/+4/+2) 9/5/5: She can be strong with the right setup, but give it a few blocks and her reliance on dinosaurs will really hamper her style. - 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. Getting Started: hints. Edit the label text in each row. Getting Started: Dinosaurs, especially with the Enrage mechanic. Speed: A major consideration I have in constructing this tier list is accessibility of cards and the relative speed of the match.

After that, you're home free. - 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. Medium-Fast, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. Medium, Card Reliant, Weak Abilities, Flexible. Getting Started: Control cards and supports.

Sua centelha ainda [] - 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. Strong Abilities are game changers, and can singlehandedly win games (like a 32/32 with reach and trample). - 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.

Like, did everyone just decide this card was miserable and not play him? - Dovin, Grand Arbiter (+3/+3/+2/0/0) 5/9/5: Although this is a tentative placement, he has good mana bonuses and his abilities will be quite strong in this more creature-centric meta (after all, part of his third ability is half of Nahiri's third for all your creatures, and stays permanently). His mana bonuses are quite solid, though. - 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.
