Recently, TSG and Eck from The Magic Box set out on a quest to determine a definitive ranking on all the planeswalkers in Cube and we were happy to contribute when Usman Jamil (co-host of the third power and writer for Star City Games) contacted us for our input on the subject.

Along with polling Sam, Usman, and me, the guys over at The Magic Box polled Anthony Avitollo (co-host of the third power and writer for legitMTG), Kenny from Reno, Johnathan Richmond, Justin Parnell (of star city games), Casey Ferraro, and Kenyon Colloran.

Here is what they came up with.

1st Jace, the Mind Sculptor 2nd Elspeth, Knight-Errant 3rd Karn Liberated 4th Liliana of the Veil 5th Ajani Vengeant 6th Gideon Jura 7th Garruk Relentless 8th Tamiyo, the Moon Sage 9th Garruk Wildspeaker 10th Sorin, Lord of Innistrad 11th Koth of the Hammer 12th Garruk, Primal Hunter 13th Jace Beleren 14th Jace, Architect of Thought 15th Ajani Goldmane 16th Venser, the Sojourner 17th Elspeth Tirel 18th Ajani, Caller of Pride 19th Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker 20th Chandra Nalaar 21st Chandra, Pyromaster 22nd Vraska, the Unseen 23rd Ral Zarek 24th Sarkhan the Mad 25th Gideon, Champion of Justice

I think this list is pretty good. I wish I saw more Chandra, the Firebrand on the list since she can really just win games. I understand that most cube designers hate Jace, Memory Adept so I really didn’t expect to see him on the list.

The top ten is wildly powerful – just looking at their names makes me giddy. And, the top four are exactly the same as mine, so I know we are all pretty close in our rankings. All in all, I would say that we did really well ranking the planeswalkers.

Long live the king.

Thank you to TSG and Eck for putting this all together and thank you to Usman for asking us to help!
