So how bout' that Kiora, eh?

[GamenDork]

Personally, on her own, Kiora is not the best planeswalker I've ever seen, but does have a lot of potential; all of course depending on what the rest of 'Born of the Gods' has to offer. With the right cards, she would be fantastic in either a Simic or Bant colors deck, and I would run with it, just so I could say "RELEASE THE KRAKEN(S)!!!"

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

It's there for ramp, because that ultimate will probable not go off.

It will be used mostly for the -1 {Explore} ability and maybe it's plus one.  But the fact that it is so squishy makes it kind of an easy target.

Maybe now I can play some {Plasm Capture}s

[Gorzo]

I still like her a lot. That +1 is pretty helpful in a control deck. And the -1 is just bonkers. Land ramp, draw a card, and she's still alive, all available on the turn you play her? Seems pretty good to me.

Yeah, yeah, she has low loyalty and is easy to kill. I know. But she's control. Protect her counterspells and board wipes. She'll be fine.

[Spencer Addington]

I'm gonna put her in my laboratory maniac deck. That damage prevention and draw ability both look really enticing.

[DimirOverlord1300]

It's actually possible to ultimate her really quickly
T1: {Breeding Pool}, {Elvish Mystic}
T2: Island, {vorel of the hull clade}
T3: forest, Kiora, +1 her
T4: land, use vorels ability, double kioras counters, -5 her, and you get a 9/9 and she stays alive

EXCEPT VORELS ABILITY DOESNT AFFECT PLANESWALKERS

Proliferate is a planeswalkers best friend.

{Doubling Season} is a planeswalkers best friend.

I just wish you could prevent damage from a named source instead of having to target the creature. If you could just name a source, you could shut down Aetherling.

You mean like {Pithing Needle}?

How would that help? It says you can't choose mana abilities... Am I missing something?

Mana Abilities are like {Elvish Mystic} all of {AEtherlings} abilities are just simple activated and therefore can't be activated if you play PN naming AEtherling
