    I don't think it's about Standard, I'm saying some deck in some format would have broken some generalized "bounce your own walkers for value" combo if it meant anything.

    I'm not convinced an animated UB walker is a color break but if it were, it's Blue, so it doesn't matter.

    Whole lot of not UB Planeswalkers here that don't animate themselves...
    Only Arlin can even attack here and that one is neither blue or black.

    It's a combo that's never been possible in standard before so who knows how powerful it is.
    In eternal formats it's never five because there's no PW worth animating.

    I guess it's perspective then, cause I see all five colors represented (white being a given cause Gideon) on Planeswalkers with an ability that adds creature to the typeline

    That's like saying white has direct damage because it can deal damage to attacking creatures.
    It's pretty obvious that animating artifacts isn't the same thing. Or how grist not being a creature on the battlefield is the whole point here...
    E: you're basically saying here that Gideon 0's are the same as turn to frog or ensoul artifact.

    Breaking the color pie is clearly Blue, this discussion is moot

    Can you support this assertion with any evidence other than it hasn't happened yet?

    My position is that animating walkers doesn't have an established place in the color pie. WotC puts it where ever they feel like, mostly for flavor reasons. My evidence is the cards they printed across the 5 colors (or 4 since Grist isn't a creature on the battlefield) and that "animating planeswalkers" is absent from the information linked below from WotC.

    Actually, every color can do it, it's just that blue makes the other colors forget about their sections so it just steals everything for itself.

    < +2 >: Jace Darkvengeant becomes a 2/3. You may look an opponent in the eye and assert that you have an instant card in your hand. (You must keep a straight face.) If you do, double strike and haste become blue abilities. (This effect lasts indefinitely and for all of Magic.) Jace gains flying and a blue ability of your choice until end of turn. Untap whatever you want. (Untapping is blue.)

    I want you to think really really hard about what you're asking here and how you've already answered the question

    You were doing so good, but you forgot blue is also the color of tapping.

    Apparently these are on mythicspoiler for a few days now:



    So sagas and transformers are back.
    Seems like both are evergreens now.

    Also:

    Discharge of Flame
    XR
    Instant
    Discharge of Flame deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker. If you control a modified creature as you cast this spell, deal X plus 2 damage instead. (creatures that are equipped, enchanted, or have counters are modified)
    More awkward lingo shortcuts.

    < -6 >: You gain an emblem with "You may adjust the physical positions of cards on the battlefield you do not own or control as though you owned and controlled them" and "Whenever an opponent betrays impatience at their stuff being moved around the table, you may end the turn." (Calling a judge for slow play betrays impatience.)

    Clever way to make Mythic fatties that can't be cheated into play. Make them the flip side of a noncreature card that has some delayed transform trigger (Saga Chapter 3).

    Broken "attacks" trigger, can't be Sneak Attacked.

    You redeemed yourself.

    Land is interesting, you'd have to be mono white or close to it to risk wasteland exposure though - maybe death & taxes?

    Cool that Weathered Wayfarer for example can now tutor an (uncounterable) removal spell

    I think it compares pretty favourably to the 4th white producing utility land in D&T (karakas in 80 cards or canopy in 60 cards) as a 1 of.
