Historically, planeswalkers are almost unbeatable in Limited. They simply provide too much repeatable value. If you can wait until the right moment to deploy the threat such that it cannot be easily answered, the game ends.
Dovin Baan is one of the first planeswalkers I remember as “not a bomb, but solid.” There have been planeswalkers like Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded, which are just bad, and War of the Spark opened the door for a variety of different planeswalker power-levels, but I specifically remember Dovin Baan being eye-opening.
And this draft starts with Dovin Baan. Unlike in my last article, I am more likely to deviate from the starting path because Rashmi is better than Dovin Baan. However, Dovin Baan is still good enough to facilitate a small bias towards Azorius.
