That's pretty cool! Putting things that are actually useful in precons (other than supplemental products) that aren't Rats' Nest. (Okay, that's not exactly fair. The Sparkler had Forbid, and that golem precon from Scars of Mirrodin had Blade Splicer, but I stand by it for most precons.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
At least Chandra doesn't have yet another RW deck. One would begin to think she had a closet fetish for white or something...

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Teferi has TWO copies of a tutor with much cheaper mana cost than Teferi. Broken!
The planeswalker decks always come with two copies of the special tutor.
I'm quite excited that Niambi is a legendary creature though, it puts a new wrinkle on the typical 'walker deck tutors, and her cost really is quite low compared to the usual tutors, case in point: Chandra's Outburst.
I'm a bit upset that a legendary creature with a Cleric subtype is unusable in Commander, but since WU clerics are few and far between, I guess I shouldn't be too broken up about it.

She was attracted to Gideon at one point, they retcon it so she appeared to be more attracted to Nissa now.
Its not a retcon, she mention in an aether revolt story how she was into Gideon but her crush for him has burned out by that point (she was also 19 when they met and now she is 23 so they had know each other for about 4 years)

Ah I see. I thought it was 1 and 1. Three cost tutor on a body that triggers historic seems pretty good compared to the other PW deck tutors I've seen. Might have to take this to FNM for fun.

Well Chandra does strike me as the kind of girl curious enough to, shall we say, experiment with different things.
Honestly I could ship any two of Chandra, Nissa, and Gideon. Maybe all three together at once. Although, I would also love to see Nissa and Ajani develop a relationship, either platonic or romantic. And thanks to Ixalan, I'm a Jace/Vraska shipper now as well.
Anyway, Planeswalker decks are neat.

Niambi is actually useful, though, as a Commander. Her card basically allows you to run a Teferi, Timebender Commander deck... with the bonus that she gets the Commander tax and not Teferi. I'm not saying that he is at all competitive, mind... I'm just pointing out something that Niambi makes possible.

Which is just a really cool way to make that deck possible despite the restrictions to creature commanders.

Is it a retcon, though? I recall there being a story where shemakes a passing reference to her history with Gideon in her own thoughts pre-Kaladesh.
Moving on from a crush is not a retcon.
