| Cycle name | 
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paths | Path of the Ghosthunter | Path of the Enigma | Path of the Schemer | Path of the Pyromancer | Path of the Animist |
| Five monocolored rare sorceries with will of planeswalkers ability. | |||||
| Talents | Elspeth’s Talent (Elspeth, Sun's Champion) |
Teferi’s Talent (Teferi, Temporal Archmage) |
Liliana’s Talent (Liliana Vess) |
Rowan’s Talent (The Royal Scions) |
Vivien’s Talent (Vivien Reid) |
| Five monocolored rare enchantments with "Enchant planeswalker" that grant the enchanted planeswalker the loyalty ability of a previous eponymous planeswalker as well as a bonus static ability. Noticeably, the referenced planeswalker card is the first Standard appearance of the associated planeswalker type. The only exception is Elspeth Tirel; the loyalty ability is drawn from her third appearance Elspeth, Sun's Champion, rather than her first card, Elspeth, Knight-Errant from Shards of Alara; it could also have been from Elspeth Tirel's -2 ability, given that Teferi's Talent also changes the loyalty cost from -10 to -12. | |||||
