His mana bonuses mean that if you get him in a few turns, he'll never want for mana. Better +1 for discard decks. - Nissa, Vital Force (+3/0/0/+2/+4) 7/4/5: She relies far too much on Energize to be viable of her own accord. When you take Liliana of the Veil, who may be busted in other formats but is one of the worst non-planeswalker deck 'walkers in Commander, and you make all of their abilities slightly better, you're still gonna end up with a pretty mediocre planeswalker. Let's rank all the planeswalkers that came out in 2020! - Teferi, Hero of Dominaria (W / U) (+3/+4/-2/+1/+2) 6/7/6: Great mana bonuses, and so so so much control.

Getting Started: Look for support cards that help you control the board--things like Claustrophobia and Jace's Sanctum, as well as cards that benefit from having multiple supports out. 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-Fast, Slightly Card Reliant, Strong Abilities, Flexible. - 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. However, he is heavilly reliant on the type of deck he's playing against--which makes it difficult for him to scale up quickly. - Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge (U / B) (-1/+4/+4/+2/-1): If you have Artifacts, Tezzeret is a well-oiled machine. Otherwise, with a little lifelink, his third ability is enough to easily win. Nothing about Basri is exciting. Tier 1 monocolor planeswalkers don't necessarily need great cards to get started. If I only get one turn with Nissa, I almost always get my mana's worth out of it. - 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.

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon (Colorless) (+1/+1/+1/+1/+1) 6/6/7: Conceptually, Ugin is quite powerful--his third ability is a slightly weaker Blue Sun's Zenith, his second ability is a powerful control ability, and he has the ability to scale up his mana. - Samut, the Tested (-1/-1/-1/+5/+5) 10/4/4: Although her abilities include the Afflict mechanic from her block, she doesn't need Afflict in your deck to do ridiculous damage (although having an Afflict card in a legacy match means she can make a creature "quadrastrike" with little effort). - Nahiri, the Harbinger (W / R) (+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. 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. 4.

Spells/supports that generate lots of matches are key--think of spells that convert mana, or destroy gems. - 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. Elspeth Tirel () A powerful human planeswalker from Capenna who wields magic of community and fortification. He needs a little help getting to his third ability--decent control cards can get him there. It's not amazing, but it's fine, I guess?

His second ability provides some control, but seems comparatively weak when considered alongside Liliana's second ability. - 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).
