Are these good as top-end value engines?
The beauty of Pioneer is the amount of ramp you have access to that can really make higher CMC walkers like this feel like 3-4 CMC walkers. OBviously building something that would let you cheat out these cards more quickly would provide you the best value in utilizing them.

I was just building a Sultai Superfriends control deck. The unbanning of Oath of Nissa right after I decided to brew was nice.
I have some other smaller walkers as well, I was just trying to decide if Tasigur or one of these guys was better.

Vraska is the only one of these that might work, but there is a better Vraska to use.
Apex Predator is waaaaay too slow.

Apex is the best of those but I like all of them for various applications. All of those walkers will need a ramp deck or possibly a control deck of some kind to be truely useful though.

I know nothing of Pioneer I'll admit, but in general, All three of them are essentially the same. They provide value, but they are High CMC which marginalizes that quite a bit. 6-7 cmc better outright win you the game in a 60 card format.
