She has average health and average deck limits. She has high mana gains in her colors (+5) made possible with one cut to Green (-2).

Her abilities have a Exile theme, with a secondary Graveyard theme, including moving opponents' cards from library to graveyard and thence to exile, exiling an opponent's creatures or supports from play, and dealing damage and gaining life for each card in Exile.

Kaya, Orzhov Usurper is the first of a few playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Kaya at different points in her life story. Kaya keeps her family name secret.

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.
