    I do love how the static abilities of Ashiok, Tamiyo and Narset are all primary white abilities that none of those colors really had before. Maybe if they gave a Gideon or Elspeth one of those abilities, it would have made more sense. Especially when you consider that their abilities only effect the opponents, it makes them significantly better then blanket abilities on mostly 1-3 toughness creatures.

    32:34 I actually disagree with this opinion. Especially when he is used in a singleton format, Jace the Mind Sculptor's zero ability is really good. It's a reusable Brainstorm/Divining Top on a planeswalker. And while top is probably better because it can't be attacked, Jace also has his plus one which can help you deal with deal with your opponents. You will probably never ult with him so don't build your deck around it, but otherwise, it's a great card that is super useful in certain decks.

    Teferi, Master of Time is a HOUSE in my Gavi deck. Gavi generates blockers and profits off the extra draw, while Teferi builds up to an ultimate to give me more time to search for a combo or beat down with tokens.

    I think Tezzeret the Schemer is an underrated Planeswalker. You can +1 to get what is essentially treasure tokens and his -2 is spot removal that can kill indestructible creatures. I have even used his ulti, as bad as it is, to increase my creature count and use it to finish my opponents quiker. The best is when I played this Turn 2 off a turn 1 Sol Ring and proceeded to ramp up mana for the rest of the game only using the spot removal when needed.

    Favorite Planeswalkers of mine (that aren't staples)
    Saheeli Rai: BUSTED. Cheap, gives me infinites, and if not infinites, free attacks
    Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord: SUPER Underrated for aristocrat or graveyard decks. Free pings, free lifegain, and if you ever need a clutch revive for a combo or an ETB trigger it won't take long (if any time at all) Dirt cheap too, both in mana and in price! Can't protect himself for Jack but he's very VERY easy to get along with.
    Kaya, Geist Hunter
    Token doubling. PURE defense and pure combos. Must have for any aristocrat deck. Cheap for mana too

    I use Domri anarch of bolas in my high power grumgully deck (yes I know that sounds stupid) and it works really well since my entire combo is creature based, and its minus has won me games, one of them last night actually, since I was able to get a containment priest off the field. It's versatile enough for late game if I wasn't able to go off on turn 4 or 5, which is hard to do when the board gets staxed out

    My favorite Planeswalkers are
    Kaya, Geist Hunter. She has built in doubling season which is Godlike for my token deck, She can give those tokens Deathtouch next turn for her +1 Making it a Potential Board wipe, and her Ultimate Can very very quickly flood the Board. Exiling everyones Graveyards and making Spirit tokens for each card exiled. Just >mwah< Amazing Planeswalker.
    I also use Garruk Cursed Huntsman as a Finisher combo for Ghave Guru of spores. Play his 0 Ability, Sacc those Wolves to pump Ghave and make Garruk capable of Ultimating & Surviving it immediately, Ultimate next turn to give Ghave Trample & +3/+3 with his emblem. Then win with Commander damage or play Tainted Strike and win with Infect damage.

    You guys are underestimating little Domri :)
    Mana dork, mini anthem, creatures cannot be countered and removal? Come on :)
    Let me give you an example: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain. Domri is Golden there. Gives Sisay +3/+3 on his own, which makes her a 5/5 which can now remove most things on the battlefield with his -2. Or you can just use him as a mana dork and make sure they don't counter the creatures that matter. It is good especially in higher power metas imho.

    I'd love a real Planeswalker card with the following ultimate ability:
    -10: Up to two target opponents lose the game. If they were particularly nitpicky, create a 6/6 black Giant creature token with deathtouch. It has "When this creature enters the battlefield or attacks, create two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens."
