Fun effect but I wish this was blue instead. IMO blue has the harder time getting rid of walkers since white has effective creatures and exile spells.

They probably placed it here as a safe counter against superfriends in standard probably. If they had it in war it would warp limited too much and probably make drafting walkers or playing superfriends in sealed way less fun.
Should have been an increase of two per ability not one.this guy has one job and he fails at it unless you have a bunch in play. At least give him two toughness so Chandra can't ping him easily.
Not liking white in this set
Good card for sure. Probably not fast enough for Modern or Pioneer but should alleviate some issues in Standard.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I've never seen that word in my life. Uhhhhh, they are pushing design space up the ass.
Which one--"obstruction" (in the card name) or "intransigence" (in the flavour text)?
Yup, I can just imagine this guy going "It's E-N-C-E!" (Bonus points if you got the reference.)
Again, shame the tax won't slow down removal walkers that much (though it can attack down foolish Teferi, Time Raveler who couldn't bounce it immediately).

Intransigence. Sounds sexy. I wish that it was 2. Selective tax like this needs to be more steep in my opinion.

They tend to be a little conservative when they print hate drops with new design space. If this one doesn't make a splash they'll probably feel more confident in printing a one drop version or a two drop with a larger tax as you propose.

I feel like this doesn't do a whole lot. I can't imagine the tax adding up to much as most decks will only have one, maybe two, planeswalkers out at the same time. Sorcerous Spyglass is a bit harder to take out and essentially stops the one PW that many have in their decks, and can stop other things. Late in the game this card won't do a whole lot and even in the early game it only might keep someone off curve.
Maybe it's just me, but this seems like the least taxiest tax card there's ever been.
The 1 could be the difference between them using a loyalty ability and holding up counter mana, though. Especially if you also have Tithe Taker out. Tax is better when it additive, anyways. Tax everything they do, and they lose the ability to do multiple actions a turn.
So, about those planeswalkers stomping all over (insert format here)...

Cheap cost, good ability, easy to kill. Looks like a strong and balanced card to me. Cool art too! This set is awesome.
I love this I’m wondering why this wasn’t in war of the spark

There's no Eidolons in Ravnica.
I mean a creature with a ability like that in war of the spark I know eidolon don’t exist on ravnica

Except, there are: Dissension Eidolons?
Sadly, on the play, T1 Goose into t2 Oko kills this on T3. Oko is just too good.

Anyway, looks like Superfriends best enemy.

Keep yo grubby blue hands off mah white taxing!
I would be in favor of a blue version with a more in-color approach to hosing planeswalkers though. Like a 1/1 flying Bird token for each activation.
