  1. Great video updating Ajani's journey. You got one detail wrong. Ajani was able to compleate three gods before Heliod. He states that the first three were easy because their doctrine aligned well with that of Phyrexia.

    Editing to add my preference of which planeswalker's story I want to see: Jaya Ballard. Her story ties into Chandra Nalaar, Jodah, and Lim Dûl. I also like how her original Time Spiral design is what I speculate to be the prototype design for planeswalkers. The planeswalker card type did not exist prior to Lorwyn.

  2. I definitely want a send-off video covering Tamiyo; she was fridged in March of the Machine and there's a lot of fun unknown LotR she would be connected to.

    …They better do some spectacular writing for Nashi.

  3. I think my favorite planeswalker is Kaya. Even though i'm not a huge fan of her cards.
    I don't really know why, maybe just because she is an orzhov character

    Great video ! It is cool to see it appear in my recommendations

  4. Good video, didn't appreciate the Jace slander though. Jace executeda play that would have resulted in a Pyrrhic Gatewatch Victory, then was literally backatabbed by Kaya and Elspeth. The blast would've blown New Phyrexia… And several other planes… To kingdom come, and the invasion would have stopped then and there. The death toll would've been incalculable, but the Phyrexians wouldn't have breached the multiverse. TL/DR the gatewatch could've won, if they listened to Jace

  5. Awesome video!!! I’d love to see Serra next in an deep
    Dive but I know there’s not a lot of info in her. I’m glad they gave her some spot in Elspeths awakening 🤣
    How about the wonderer next

  6. Ajani Goldmane was my first ever planeswalker card, and he glorious anthemed my merfolk army to many a victory at my LGS. That being said, I think his greatest companion, Elspeth Tirel, is my favorite planeswalker of all time, even before her angelic glowup
