She has average health and average deck limits with a slight focus on creatures and spells. She has quite good mana gains in Black, descending gradually through Blue and White to minuses in White and Green.

The themes of her abilities are spellcasting and the graveyard. She can CopyCopy spells, give full mana to a spell card, and gain life and make the opponent lose life and weaken their most powerful creature when spells are cast. She can Fetch a card, and put cards not picked into her graveyard. She can make the opponent discard, and gain life and cause them to lose life for each creature in graveyards, the amount of life gained and lost increasing to a high amount if the opponent discarded three or less cards.

Professor Onyx is the seventh of eight playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Liliana Vess at different points in her life.

Story

Professor Onyx is filled with great knowledge and power—especially power. Although often in contact with students, her words and teachings carry weight as if she always knows more than what she reveals. On other planes, however, this mysterious figure is known for being an infamous necromancer.
