UW Planeswalker?

General forum

I'd love a good planeswalker in blue white. Something that bounces, maybe even scry, even blinks! Think about blinking Master of Waves . Gross. Thoughts? =)

Maybe someone like Venser, the Sojourner ?

You can look up cards from card databases. I think magiccards.info is the best database.

Gatherer is the official Wizards database of cards.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for a new W/U planeswalker in Theros, we're alreday set to see Ajani, possibly in G/U so I doubt we'll get another white 'walker this block. A mono-blue planeswalker in JIN maybe? He/she might have a scry or bounce effect.

KrosanTusker - I think you mean G/W. It'd be VERY surprising to see a Simic Ajani.

Yep! I meant G/W!

Simic Ajani... what would he be like?

@KrosanTusker return of planar chaos anyone?

+1 creatures you control gain hexproof until the beginning of your next upkeep

-2 return target permanent to its owners hand

-7 gain an emblem, creatures you control have basic landwalk and hexproof!!!

I agree with needing a WU planeswalker, i just have a comment on your thing with Master of Waves ...wouldnt bouncing him kill all your tokens? Like, the second it leaves the battlefield boom all your tokens die? Sure, you would get them right back but that might be less idk.

If you roll with more then one of them it would work.

if the bounce was instant like Cloudshift or Restoration Angel wouldnt the tokens remain in play even as 1/0 b/c removing them would be statebased action and wouldnt take place until after the spell resolved and priority was passed?

Blue really doesn't need any more planeswalkers. It's really spoilt for choice.

If it was a flicker effect that instantly returns the master then the tokens would indeed live as you described.

State-based actions (such as creatures with 0 toughness being put into the graveyard) are not checked during the resolution of abilities, so the tokens would survive.

I reckon our Simic Ajani, maybe in another Planar Chaos-type set, would look a bit like this:

@KrosanTusker: Edit that last ability. It doesn't fit Green/Blue. Maybe a huge card drawing ability or +1/+1 counters everywhere. Also, giving a creature flash is useless on a planeswalker, their abilities are activated as sorceries.

KrosanTusker says... #17

Oh yeah! I was thinking "surprise blocker," but that really doesn't work! Alright then, make that "The next creature spell you cast this turn enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. Draw a card."

For the last ability, it's Ajani Goldmane 's last ability -- which I think could be green as well, since green has lifegain too -- and gave it flying, which is the blue part. Remember, I'm not trying to make any old G/U 'walker, it's a G/U Ajani, and Ajani very much likes making tokens and cares about the life total.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I want standard. No Venser. It would however be awesome forVenser to travel to this planet they are on now.

They should make a R/W Planeswalker that can blink permanents.

That way, Master of Waves wouldn't be broken. lol

But I wanna break standard some more lol.
