Ah JtMS *dictionary wanted to correct this to Jams... dafaq*, the most broken PW ever, I really wish you were cheaper so more people could get their hands on you.
I've usually used him as a blue enchantment that brainstorms once a turn, but that isn't the only thing he does, he unsummons things, fouls up opposing brainstorms, and even wins outright *only did this twice, hilarious both times*, the point is, he probably is the best walker we will ever have.
I would put him on the same power-level as some of the P9 Stuff, sure hes not at instant speed, but one card that draws you so many cards *granted you put some back* for 4 mana is absolutely bonkers
5/5 Stars
Edit: Ya know, despite him being story-line Mono-blue, it kinda feels like he should have been UB

Somehow, despite being a poor scrub who entered the game during scars block, I managed to obtain one. For the most part this was to increase my cred at the EDH table, I didn't understand the power of this card. I get it now, it's the first 4 mana "you win the game in 3 turns" planeswalker ever printed. That's just EDH, he's actually much more powerful in other formats.

Wizards has a tendency to balance/price their planeswalkers on cards they already printed. Garruk wildspeaker's -1 is a 2 mana card (watchwolf sorta) for a 4 mana PW. Ajani vengeant's -2 is a 2 mana card for a 4 mana PW. Taking PW's printed after mind sculptor, Tamiyo's -2 is a 3 mana card for a 5 mana PW. Chandra firebrand's -2 is a 2 mana card for a 4 mana PW. Memory adept's 0 is a 2 mana card for a 5 mana PW. Gideon's -2 is a 3 mana card for a 5 mana PW. Their + abilities are typically effects that you would not spend a card on, but since they're repeatable you can get incremental advantage out of them.
Obviously, the higher mana the PW costs, the better you can make the minus ability. Of course, some of the first PW's were not priced properly and thus are terrible because wizards was still testing out this new card type (Chandra ablaze is clearly an abomination, PW's like liliana vess can't protect themselves and thus rarely see play despite theoretically being priced properly, et... (see all)
