Hey it's an uncommon walker that can actually exhaust his own loyalty!
I think all the ones before either were 5-loy with -2 ability, or 7 loy with -3 ability. They'd all only be able to get to 1 on their own but not be able to activate themselves to 0.
Dovin seems like another excellent control piece. Could be a nice Azorius control deck in the making in this Limited format along with Tomik, Distinguished Advokist and Dovin's Veto.

The tax effect on Dovin is certainly interesting. Its been awhile since we've had that effect in Standard, right? The real gem is the white 1 drop. That guy s going to be disgustingly good in limited.
Interesting. So with Dovin being hybrid, that means Narset will be WU. Neat.
nope, UC walker are hybrid or mono, R walker don't overlap colors: Teferi has the UW slot so Tamyio and Narset will be mono-U one rare and one uncommon

There are some uncommon walkers that can go to 0 (with -1 abilities)
Interesting. So with Dovin being hybrid, that means Narset will be WU. Neat.
Actually with Teferi occupying the WU slot. Narset will definitely mono U.
I don't doubt the veracity of that statement, but doesn't that give us considerably more blue walkers than any other color? Maybe I'm losing my mind, but it felt overwhelmingly blue before we had 4 more blue walkers spoiled one after the other. I'm not hating on it...just seems super weird.

That's fair. I forgot about Teferi. But does that mean Blue will have 3 uncommon walkers with Kasmina?

There's Tithe Taker for your turn and there's the new 6 drop artifacts that makes your opponents stuff cost 2 more, but I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Welcome to Magic, where blue gets all the best toys pretty much every time.

Dovin ticked the planeswalkers off on his fingers: himself, Davriel, Samut, Nahiri, Kiora...and Yanggu made an even six.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
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.
I don't doubt the veracity of that statement, but doesn't that give us considerably more blue walkers than any other color? Maybe I'm losing my mind, but it felt overwhelmingly blue before we had 4 more blue walkers spoiled one after the other. I'm not hating on it...just seems super weird.
Mark Rosewater confirmed that:
20 walkers are uncommon (10 hybrid, one for each pair, and 2 monocolored for each color)
13 are rare (with some being gold but not all pairs gets a gold one and not a single pair appears twice)
4 mythic (Gideon, Liliana, Bolas and Tezz)
Since Teferi is the UW Gold and Dovin the UW Hybrid, yes, Narset has to be Mono Blue. It doesn't mean Blue has more than the other colors, though - not considering the monocolored ones. I think with Bolas and Tezzeret being U/x, Blue will be one of the more represented colors, but not by a lot. Red also has quite a few ones: we still have Sarkhan and Jaya, just as Blue still has Narset and Tamiyo to appear.

Actually with Teferi occupying the WU slot. Narset will definitely mono U.

He is the sixth such uncommon planeswalker spoiled so far. Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, Nahiri, Storm of Stone, Samut, Tyrant Smasher, Daviel, Rogue Shadowmage, and Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter all can exhaust their own loyalty.
