Catagorizing Planeswalkers.

Lore forum

Posted on May 7, 2014, 4:18 p.m. by nurzaani

I was reading this thread on mtgsalvation, and it kind of got me thinking about how we would categorize all the planeswalkers that have been printed. I also want to categorize them like this for my Binder, because I generally like to put things in my binder by lore.

Good:Elspeth

Gideon

Koth

Karn(maybe?)

Tamiyo(maybe also?)

Anti-hero: Chandra

Garruk

Liliana

Sorin(mainly because of his intentions from Sorin v. tibalt to protect humans because without humans his people would die out)

Jace

Ajani

Neutral:Ral Zarek

Nissa

Venser

Evil: Nicol bolas

Xenagos

Vraska

Tibalt

Ashiok(?)

unategorized(I need help sorting these out):Domri

Kiora

sarkhan

tezzeret

Dack (not printed yet, but I'm still counting him)

Can anybody help me out with how my list is going currently? Or maybe change what may be wrong about it? I want to have these categorized for when i re-organize my planeswalker binder.

Magiclover318 - Xenagos is evil because he disrupted the natural balance of Theros for his own desires. And after ascending into Xenagos, God of Revels he has been using Theros as his playground (see Mischief and Mayhem ) and throwing the entire plane into disarray.

I feel like Domri Rade , Kiora, the Crashing Wave , and Dack Fayden are neutral in the Good-Evil spectrum. But Sarkhan the Mad and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas are probably more evil than good. I would put Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver somewhere outside the spectrum, because we don't really know if Ashiok is good or bad.

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and Jace Beleren are easily good planeswalkers. Furthermore, Karn Liberated is good, Liliana is evil, and Garruk Relentless  Flip is good but Garruk, the Veil-Cursed  Flip is evil.

That's my 2-cents on where each planeswalker fits, but I agree with the rest of the list.

Yeah I agree with JWiley129 as well as the rest of the list, I think it's a fair representation

Elspeth and Ajani are Lawful Good.

Jace, Gideon and Venser are somewhere between Neutral and Chaotic Good.

Chandra and Koth are Chaotic Good.

Karn and Tamiyo are True Neutral.

Garruk, Kiora, Domri, Dack, Liliana and Ashiok are Chaotic Neutral, with Lili and Ashiok leaning toward Chaotic Evil.

Nicol Bolas, Vraska, Tezzeret and Nissa are Lawful Evil.

Sarkhan, Tibalt, Ral and Xenagos are Chaotic Evil.

Sorin's all over the darn place.

Sorin is whatever he is feeling at the moment, cause he's like honey badger, he doesn't give a damn
