Portal:Planeswalkers

Overview

Players in Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest take on the role of a Planeswalker, a powerful being. Planeswalkers have diverse characteristics and motivations. Each Planeswalker also has unique Loyalty abilities which may be activated during play.

Characteristics

Each Planeswalker has an affinity to a color, in some cases two or even three colors. A Planeswalker's deck may generally contain only cards including an affinity color, or colorless cards. The upper limits on the number of Creature, Spell, and Support cards in the deck are also Planeswalker-specific.

Planeswalkers begin at level 1. Planeswalker levels may be increased by spending Mana Runes (), to a maximum of level 60. Higher level Planeswalkers are more powerful. Generally, the more colors a Planeswalker has affinity with, the more expensive they are to purchase and level up.

Mana bonuses

Most Planeswalkers follow simple rules for their mana bonuses:

1. All Origins Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to five.
2. All three-color Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to seven.
3. All two-color Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to eight.
4. All mono-color Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to nine.

There are considerable variations within this: Battle for Zendikar created the most marked difference, between the spike of Koth of the Hammer and the balanced spread of Gideon, Ally of Zendikar.

There are clear benefits to playing Planeswalkers with high spike bonuses with mana conversion, and when playing without mana conversion, to use Planeswalkers with a balanced spread of bonuses.

Some Planeswalkers have abilities that affect their mana bonuses; notably Karn, Scion of Urza, Sarkhan Unbroken, Tamiyo, Field Researcher , and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon.

List of Planeswalkers

A summary of each Planeswalker is below. The listed mana bonuses, deck limits, health, and rating stats are given for planeswalkers at their maximum level. The Rating column holds a subjective indication of the potency of the Planeswalker.
