Overview

Kaya, Orzhov Usurper is a white and black human Planeswalker, released in March 2019 along with the Ravnica Allegiance card set.

She has lower than average health, average mana gains with a balanced spread, and average deck limits.

Her abilities have a Exile theme, with a secondary Graveyard theme, including moving opponents' cards from graveyard to exile, exiling an opponent's creatures or lands from play, and moving graveyards through exile and back to libraries, dealing damage for each card moved.

Kaya, Orzhov Usurper is the first of three playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Kaya at different points in her life.

Kaya underwent a major rebalance in version 3.8 of the game.

Story

The rogue duelist Kaya travels between planes making a living as a ghost assassin for a fee. Her skills attracted the attention of Bolas, who promised to help her troubled family if she were to kill the Obzedat, the undying ghost leaders of the Orzhov—which she was easily able to do, along with her new ally, Teysa Karlov, amid the growing turmoil on Ravnica.
