I don't think anything it does is impactful enough for a four mana.

it's doing multiple of those things, is the point, since you can flash it in on your opponent's turn and activate a loyalty ability, then untap and activate again

You’re nuts. A planeswalker with flash gets around the “tap out” turn, that alone is good. On top of that it can do drat near every worthwhile combat trick when it flashes in. Maybe it’s too midrange for the format right now but It’s good.

Flashing it in after attackers are declared means you're getting a minimum of two activations, barring removal. This card is going to be a blowout in limited.

Maybe I am. It just seems fine, but I don't see how there's a midrange deck with white that wants this card. After the first combat trick it's just so unimpactful, it doesn't matter if you get 2 activations. But I could be vastly underrating it.

Definitely a blow out in limited of course.

Yeah The Wandering Emporer is real good. Might not have a home, but if it does, wow.

Some of those DFCs are real boring. What's the limited format look like where I want to wait three turns for a 2/2 with first strike?

The Wandering Emperor is really good. It's 4/4 flash in stats with a leftover planeswalker in a lot of cases, but it can also blow things out as a combat trick, force damage in, or be removal. It's a PW you can play in counter control without tapping out.

it depends entirely on what artifacts are around because that static ability can definitely get out of hand in the right situation

It's cool. IDK if it's good. None of those abilities are that great and on the battlefield it's kinda meh. What kind of deck wants to play this?

This definitely is the wrong mindset for these sagas. Think of it as getting a free 2/2 rather than throwing it in the graveyard, so it's all upside.

Yeah this is a banger. It's not good against a lot of decks though because them being able to get a free untapped land is a big deal.

If I'm reading it right it lets your opponent fetch a dual/shock/triome but it's still pretty insane for a (basically) uncounterable ability

It's a free one of in pretty much any deck playing green and since W6 and Loam are very highly played cards in both Modern and Legacy I expect this card to be played a lot in both formats.

The free land is what kills it imo
In modern I'm paying 1, not 2 for that effect.
And I'm not ramping them.
