I'm striving not to let personal dread influence my rankings too much (whenever I see Arlinn Kord in Legacy events I scramble my deck for efficient control options because they're bound to have Ulrich of the Krallenhorde, and probably Olivia, Mobilized for War and Decimator of Promises or Emrakul just for kicks and giggles).

Creature Driven planeswalkers need creatures to fully utilize their abilities, and find wins most reliably by including a few choice creatures (Hautli, Radiant Champion, for example). Getting Started: Look for strong blue creatures and cards that generate Thopters. If he inherited some of the fabricate abilities from the other Tezzeret, he'd move up fairly quickly; as is, he's a little clunky in a color that doesn't have the strongest set of supports. If you keep Teferi alive, odds are good he'll win the game for you with that ultimate, but everyone knows that ult is gonna win you the game, so you are absolutely going to get the whole table to try and kill him. Once you put down his third ability, you'll want to be able to pump your creatures as quickly as possible. - Vraska, Golgari Queen (B / G) (0/0/+4/0/+4) 8/6/5: I know this is a bit of an unpopular opinion, but despite the fact that her third ability can be effectively abused, her whole kit is based around getting the match to go long, which doesn't hold up well against strong opponents. - Chandra Roaring Flame (R) (0/0/+1/+3/+1) 10/10/6: She's good at what she does, but her mana bonuses and low HP are a significant drawback keeping her from higher tiers.
