Kiora Atua is a blue and green-aligned merfolk planeswalker who made her debut in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, and was released as a card in Born of the Gods. [1][2]
History
Kiora venerates the huge monsters of the sea, such as the leviathans, the krakens and other denizens of the inky depths. For her these creatures embody the ability to withstand any persistent force: time, water, predation and darkness. She seems calm and wise, but her dreams are as bizarre and alien as the depths from which her creatures rise.
