Her abilities have minor themes around life levels and support reinforcements, including gaining life and spending a reinforcement for minor card draw and mana, and creating an indestructible support {{Ability|Token}} which continues to {{Ability|Reinforce}} and cause the opponent to {{Ability|life loss|lose life}} according to its size. She can also permanently degrade enemy creatures or supports.
Vraska is arguably the Planeswalker most impacted by Oktagon scrupulously separating damage and life loss. Used to be, the requirement to have a creature on board and for the opponent to have lost life were in most cases the same thing - now the player must build Lose Life cards into their deck to make her ultimate ability function at all. Not that it was all that great to start with: Chandra 3's ability does better damage, has no requirements, costs half as much Loyalty, and is a first ability, making room for better.
Vraska, Golgari Queen, sometimes called V2, is the second of two playable [[Planeswalkers]] in MtGPQ which embody Vraska at different points in her life.
