Kaito Shizuki is a black and blue human Planeswalker, announced in March 2023 along with the Phyrexia: All Will Be One (ONE) card set. He was available for cash in the last week of April.

He has quite good mana gains in his colors, and a -2 to Green. His deck limits are balanced.

All of his abilities are moderately priced and very focused on particular objectives. His first is tied for second cheapest in the game, and stops an enemy creature from attacking or blocking, for a turn. His second draws a card and, if he returns a creature to his hand, gains up to 30 mana. The third creates an 8/8 stack of Drone Tokens  that doubles in size to 16/16 if he returns a creature to his hand. These costs can hypothetically be a small asset to a Ninja deck.

Kaito Shizuki is the first of two playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Kaito at different points in their life story.
