Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is a colorless elder dragon Planeswalker, introduced after 6.5.0.

He has medium health and balanced deck limits. As is often the case with colorless Planeswalkers, his mana bonus total is lower than the 7 of other colorless and tri-color PWs. His is +5; +1 to each color.

He can exile all colored cards on the board, which is arguably the most powerful PW removal ability in the game, albeit one that harms the player as well. His abilities are, of course, capable of increasing his color bonuses, but also his loyalty bonus. He can summon creatures, which can permanently gain Defender and Flying, and gain loyalty bonuses with his first and third abilities.

Ugin's rune cost to increase levels is the same as the cost to level a tri-colored Planeswalker (323,750 Mana Runes).

Ugin is the second of a small number of playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody the construct Planeswalker Ugin at different points in his life.
