Even if Venser only had the +2 ability he would still be usable (being a slightly worse Astral Slide but one that you don't have to have a bunch of cycling cards to use.) With the other 2 abilities, he might be the strongest card in the set.

I don't think his ultimate can be used to take out Progenitus.
Everything is EVERYTHING. Emblems are considered colorless "markers" that reside in the command zone, which is still something :)...and makes them part of "Everything".

To go slightly off topic; no, his ultimate absolutely cannot remove Progenitus. To make it easier, just read Progenitus as: Shroud, Unblockable, Prevent all damage delt to him, and remove or unequip anything attached to him.
Now I have a question: could you use Venser's ability to exile a ball lightning or putrefax to keep it from dieing at end of turn? or do the creatures' end step triggers kill them upon returning?

That +2 seems pretty bonkers. If you have a venser and an aether adept, and the other guy has, say, a baneslayer angel, don't you just win? Easily? Even without creatures, blinking kabira crossroads or halimar depths seems really good, and on the creature front, wall of omens and sea gate oracle just found a new best friend, as if they weren't good enough already. If you special ETB trigger friends die, sun titan can get them all back for you, at double the regular rate, thanks to Venser!
Sphinx of lost truths also just got a lot better. This guy seems to have a whole archetype just built for him already.

The blink does little, yea titans. That being the case, you can't start doing that until after you have actually DROPPED one, which may even be a turn later. Unblockable stuff is awesome, but U/W as of late has had few guys in them, the majority of which have evasion or are have abilites that help get them through otherwise. Finally, no self-respecting opponent is going to allow you to even dream of ultimating with this, so your best bet is to unblockablize your already evasive dudes for three turns, the end result being that you wished you played a more relevant card. Senarios are cool and all, guys, but they are circumstantial. They will be few times when this actually proves to be worth the 5 mana you spent on it.

Can cure your infected creatures, or just make all your creatures unblockable for a -1.....Oh yeah exiling permanents every time you cast a spell the rest of the game is ridiculous (especially since its any permanent whether its Jace or a Valakut land). Definitely one of the 3 best planeswalkers of all time and definitely the best to be used within scars. 5/5

Can you use his first ability to keep creatures like Putrefax and Ball Lightning around for the next turn?
