I agree but I think I would put  {Domri Rade} instead of snappy an put garruk 5th. Domri is really good I have been using him and his ultimate and it is winning games

No {Geist of Saint Traft}?
{Geist of Saint Traft} isnt too good right now he gets trumped to easy but i really hope the evolve 1 mana flyer makes geist a little better

I'd honestly say geist > Garruk.

Rass

 {Frontline Medic} is up there. I would say its hard to compare all cards maybe a top five of each color.

Vyse

 {Boros Reckoner} seems like he should get a spot soon

C'mon guys, it's clearly {Island}.

My top five of each color
Blue:
1  {Stolen Identity}
2  {Jace, Memory Adept}
3  {Jace, Architect of Thought}
4  {Hands of Binding}
5   {Gridlock}
Red:
1  {Legion Loyalist}
2  {Molten Primordial}
3  {Inferno Titan}
4  {Chandra Nalaar}
5  {Utvara Hellkite}
White:
1  {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}

Green:
1  {Garruk, Primal Hunter}

3  {Garruk Relentless}
4  {Gaea's Revenge}
5  {Primordial Hydra}
Multicolored:
1  {Domri Rade}
2  {Obzedat, Ghost Council}
3 {Aurelia, the Warleader}
4  {Aurelia's Fury}
5  {Clan Defiance}

This is from my standpoint and based on the cards I used :)

How is {Domri Rade} overpowered? How is {Jace, Memory Adept} overpowered? Those are cards that work in decks that build around playing them. If they're overpowered, then basic lands are overpowered.

{Thragtusk} is overpowered, it's splashible card that you basically have to 2 for 1 with all the time. Life gain makes the rest of your cards better by drawing out the game longer.

A 5-mana Planeswalker that doesn't protect itself, doesn't change the board state, doesn't even lock things down. He's only even playable in a deck with {Terminus} and {Supreme Verdict}, that is a very specific deck. As a win condition.

{Jace, the Mind Sculptor} is kinda the only legitimately OP PW.  I think {Thragtusk} and {Geist of Saint Traft} are decently overpowered.  Other than that, there's nothing extraordinary in standard that jumps out at me.

As I said it is from my standpoint and how I make decks and what cards I used before

I agree, he works well as a wincon in certain small amounts of decks, and in mirror sideboards. But define overpowered! Overpowered means cards that are easy to cast (low mana cost and/or unrestricted colors), and in addition to that have competitive and above the curve damage potential and abilities. Thrag and geist fall in these lines, as does thundermaw. Few pws are overpowered; they are just good in decks that support them. Overpowered cards support decks; decks support pws. I think mindsculptor would be the only op pw...even elspeth 1.0 had to be supported to work.
