The Wandering Emperor has been a dominant card in Standard since February and is easily one of the most powerful here. Also worth noting is Depopulate, a turn 4 board wipe that hasn’t seen much play so far. It doesn’t hit planeswalkers, but that can help a control deck to build up a post-board sweep advantage.įarewell isn’t going to define any particular decks but it is one of the most powerful cards to resolve. Few have been as all-encompassing as Farewell, a card that can destroy most decks’ chances of bouncing back. Past board sweepers have been the cornerstone of control decks, but they’ve become less and less useful in Standard thanks to the growing diversity of threats. Hopeful Initiate, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, and quite a few other pieces all survive this rotation with Adeline, so there’s a very good package of white aggro cards to start the format strongly. Adeline, Resplendent Cathar has been quite impressive and is pretty much the sole reason that mono white has been such a strong deck in Standard. Magic has a long history of aggressive white creatures. Jaya, Fiery Negotiator pairs very handily with quite a few of the cards on this list, so I can definitely see it becoming deck defining. This planeswalker has a conditional removal mode and two modes that give you card advantage, so there’s a lot to like. Jaya feels very similar to one of my favorite Standard planeswalkers of all time, Chandra, Torch of Defiance.
The new Jaya looks absolutely incredible and could have been included among the other solid planeswalkers below. Honorable Mention: Jaya, Fiery Negotiator Fable of the Mirror-Breaker / Reflection of Kiki-Jiki.Graveyard Trespasser / Graveyard Glutton.
