On a side note: Basri
I gotta know when he sparked or the story because otherwise where was he when he plane was going down the toilet. Trapped on Ixalan perhaps?

liliana's scrounger is the best of the entire bunch.
i really wish they'd do away with these as a product. they're awful as a means to get players into the game because of how weak and lackluster the decks are. these continue to be disappointing and honestly are both a waste of time and money.
Yep, it's the usual chaff alright. Basri continues his journey of being the most boring Planeswalker alive, Garruk is one of the worst Planeswalker cards I've ever seen and Teferi and Liliana follow the good ol' 5 mana Planeswalker tradition of "+1 card advantage, -3 kill creature", except since they are Planeswalker Deck cards and therefore are designed to be bad, they cost 6 mana instead of 5.
That Chandra, however, seems actually fine in Commander, 9 damage spread around each turn is great, 6 Loyalty makes her hard to kill, it's card advantage for mono-Red and that Ultimate is pretty much a game-winner. Some of the support creatures also seem fine, Liliana's Scrounger seems good and possibly worth brewing with, while Adherent of Hope feels like it's almost there at being Standard playable with the 3 mana Basri.
EDIT: I just realized, maybe "can't phase in" is how they are going to template the Oubliette reprint they have been promising? It would change how it works slightly but would keep the idea of keeping the Auras and counters.
If Lurrus gets banned in Pioneer, Storm Caller may see some fringe play in Burn decks like a 5-8 copy of Viashino Pyromancer. Not being a Wizard hurts it though.

Yep, that Scrounger is pretty cool. I like how for once, it does not get an advantage itself from having a namesake planeswalker in play. And Liliana has some of the best planeswalkers out there. Could be a hidden gem.

I'd love a Jace version of that. Although we do have Jace's Illusion or whatever.

Also of note, Mystic Skyfish has fantastic art.

The new planeswalker seems okay but Gideon was something else than the rest of the white planeswalker.
Though I guess doing so repeatedly is not too shabby, especially with ETB/sacrifice cycles.
