- Ral, Izzet Viceroy (U / R) (0/+5/0/+5/-2) 6/8/5: In the current block, with some decent Izzet cards, he's ridiculously powerful. Outside of blocks that use Energize, he's not that great. These planeswalkers rely on mechanics that no longer are used. Get lots of zombies. She does one thing, and it's a really great thing, so I'm absolutely on board.

Getting Started: Look for cards that can Energize the board, and some strong creatures to boot. Expand for more options. - Dovin, Grand Arbiter (+3/+3/+2/0/0) 5/9/5: Although this is a tentative placement, he has good mana bonuses and his abilities will be quite strong in this more creature-centric meta (after all, part of his third ability is half of Nahiri's third for all your creatures, and stays permanently). Jeska, Thrice Reborn is an odd commander to talk about because she's barely a planeswalker. Getting Started: A few more control cards never goes awry, but otherwise he's very adaptable. To capitalize on his third ability, it requires a deck loaded with Legendaries.
