Planeswalkers begin at level 1. Planeswalker [[level]]s may be increased by spending [[Resources#Mana Runes|Mana Runes]] ({{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:
#All Origins Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to five.
#All two-color Planeswalkers' mana bonuses add up to eight.
#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]].
