Can i doom blade a planeswalker

So which one is the best? How efficient is Heartless Act when it comes to the total sum of creatures ever printed in Magic? Smother is an older Doom Blade variant that goes all the way back to Onslaught predating Doom Blade, in fact, by quite a number of years. The oldest of all the Doom Blade effects, Terror was first printed in Alpha and in all honestly probably should be the card that names the effect rather than the Johnny-Come-Lately Doom Blade. Legendary creatures are often the most pushed and powerful cards in any given set — the ones you really want to kill.

It does mean, however, that Go for the Throat is one of the most efficient Doom Blades ever printed — but as is the case with Ultimate Price being printed in Ravnica and Cast Down being printed in Dominaria , Go for the Throat was printed in Mirrodin Besieged — an artifact set, which hindered its effectiveness in Standard.

Planeswalkers are powerful cards. A Planeswalker in the right deck is game winning. For example, a burn deck with Chandra, the Firebrand has an edge.

You're welcome. Keeping Planeswalkers alive can be hard. Especially if your opponent knows what's coming. Try to keep creatures ready to block before you cast your Planeswalker and try to make sure you have some instants in your hand just in case.
