Planeswalkers usually have three abilities: one ability that adds loyalty counters as a cost for a small benefit, one that removes a small number of counters as a cost for a larger effect, and one that removes a large number of loyalty counters for a big effect.
The last effect is commonly referred to as the planeswalker's " ultimate " ability and usually leaves the opponent in a devastated state. The starting loyalty of a planeswalker is commonly significantly lower than the cost of its ultimate and a player has to build up the loyalty to access it.
Unlike most other cards in a set, planeswalkers are designed by the people who work on Standard currently the Play Design team, formerly the development team with contributions from people who played in the Future Future League. Until War of the Spark , all planeswalkers had been printed with the mythic rare rarity, except for Ajani Goldmane , Jace Beleren , Liliana Vess , Chandra Nalaar , and Garruk Wildspeaker , which debuted in the Lorwyn block when the mythic rare rarity did not yet exist.
War of the Spark featured rare and even uncommon planeswalkers. In addition, the uncommon planeswalkers have only a minus loyalty ability no plus abilities , [13] the rare planeswalkers have a plus and a minus loyalty ability, [14] and the mythic rare planeswalkers have the usual three loyalty abilities. By the time of Zendikar Rising Planeswalkers could be released with set-specific mechanics something which was previously avoided.
Unused planeswalker symbol meant for future-shifted cards. The handprint-like planeswalker symbol symbolizes planeswalkers and their ability to traverse the planes of the Multiverse. It seems to refer to the different paths or planes that a planeswalker can choose to walk. Specifically: five choices, as in the five colors of Magic.
There used to be a symbol designed for planeswalkers in Future Sight , but it was not used when the introduction of planeswalkers was moved to Lorwyn. This was different from the current planeswalker symbol.
This was called the "planeswalker uniqueness rule". Starting with Ixalan , this rule was abandoned. Thus, if a player controls more than one legendary planeswalker with the same name , that player chooses one and puts the other into their owner's graveyard. This has also enabled planeswalkers without types to be printed, such as The Wanderer. The change was made to simplify gameplay.
There are no current plans to create nonlegendary planeswalkers. Up until Rivals of Ixalan the following rule was in place: If noncombat damage would be dealt to a player by a source controlled by an opponent, that opponent may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker the former player controls instead. This is a redirection effect see rule The opponent chooses whether to redirect the damage as the redirection effect is applied. Starting with Dominaria this "planeswalker redirection rule" was removed.
Instead each relevant card will tell you on the card specifically whether the card dealing direct damage can target planeswalkers.
Older cards received errata to have "player" changed to "player or planeswalker", and similarly for "target opponent". Most others that could previously target a "creature or player" would now refer to simply "any target", defined to include creatures, players, and planeswalkers. The subtype for planeswalkers is called planeswalker type and is exclusive to planeswalkers.
They decided not to add these other types when they chose to not make Karn an artifact Planeswalker. As from Commander , some planeswalkers including some pre-Mending era planeswalkers are now represented as planeswalker cards that can be used as commanders. Two additional planeswalkers with such ability were added in Battlebond , which they can partner with each other that making both become commanders at the same time, their subtypes are Will and Rowan.
Commander has four additional planeswalkers that can serve as commanders, with subtypes being Saheeli , Windgrace , Aminatou , and Estrid. During the time of release, planeswalkers were almost never referred to on rules text, being withheld from commons as to increase the mystique of the card type. Planeswalkers are permanents, so when a planeswalker spell you control resolves, it enters the battlefield under your control. Each planeswalker has a subtype.
The number in the bottom right corner of a planeswalker card is its "loyalty. Planeswalkers have activated abilities. You can activate one of these abilities whenever you could cast a sorcery, but only one of a planeswalker's abilities may be activated during each of your turns.
