So, Basri is just Gideon without that silly wrist blade thing?
Basically, he filling in the role of a more combat focus white walker Gideon had, but is more of a go wide than Gideon one man army feel. Funny enough that ends up treading more on Elsepths space.

Other than the fact that he himself doesn't become a creature, he seems pretty much Interchangeable with the 4 mana Gideon from the last Zendikar block. Boost a creature, grow the army, really grow your army. I do see what you mean about going wide and Elspeth, but it would be nice if we could see something brand new for a White 'walker.

"Other than Gideon's main thing, this new planeswalker does the same thing" sure is a claim. Gideon's core planeswalker identity has always been turning into a creature. If you were to remove that constant, his abilities would be all over the place in white. You're also misremembering Gideon, Ally of Zendikar. He doesn't have "boost a creature" anywhere on his card, and the emblems are pretty radically different in how they play out.

They talk on and on about how they wanted something different from Elspeth and Ajani, Gideon wasn't mentioned. So somehow "defensive role" and "sandblast" translates into generic-feeling walker that is a +1/+1 counter spammer and token spammer.
While I was originally put off by his armour not being 'Egyptian' enough, it's not by any means a dealbreaker. I think he'll be a great fit for a visitor to Tarkir.

At least his armor is very clearly Oketra inspired. That's cool.

His armor is basically a version of Oketras outfit.

That's probably fair.
As I'm aware the break down is now;
Ajani- Supoorter (+1/+1 counters, life gain, preventing damage), but can be GW
Elspeth- Tokens and weenies combat focus
Gideon- Turns into a creature (dead)
Teyo- Defensive magics
Wanderer- Hates big creatures
Barsi- Go wide
Serra- Angles/flying (dead)
Nahiri- Artifacts with a focused on equipment can be WR

Two of these got leaked ready but the knight is decent if your is built right and notice it doesn’t say nontoken
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
Also, using the Lieutenant, you can get three sacrifices out of one creature if it has Undying.
Totally thought it was "other creature" for that ability. Now that card is just silly.
Cathars' Crusade and any sac Outlet
It doesn’t say no token creature
haha like we needed another card t break Crusade haha

Before the hours, but didn't learn how to get home until after the hours had happened.
