Kinda wish I did not purchase this. It is filled with mostly useless pages, I only found about 4 pages slightly useful. Is it worth $6? No. Maybe 1 or 2.

We recently interviewed Chris on our show Crit Academy. You can find it here. We had a real blast walking through this product. In the previous episode we had discussed the Guildmasters' of Ravnica and were quite shocked to see real no inclusion of the colors of mana and the planeswalkers. Chris did a great job filling that void. We absolutely loved the inclusion of details on how to run the planeswalkers as antagonists and protaganists. Fantastic addition to make them feel real. Great work. We really only have one criticism and that would be the basic layout and art. Most of us are well aware of the life of a busy adult and the cost of art. Thus these had minor impact on the rating. Overall, if you're looking to introduce interesting and detailed NPC's to your world, you can easily fit these into any settings, as the planeswalkers naturally shift to other planes. This would be a great lead into travelling to ravnica and experiencing a few adventures there before returning home.

It did not feel like anything close to complete or worth $6. More spells, or more content, was needed. It feels like I paid $6 for a fluff book when I was expecting crunch.

Hey Christopher, I’m sorry I let you down. If I could give you a refund I would. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I’ll include more crunch in my books in the future.

Overall a good supplement which fills a lot of the holes left by GGtR. The inclusion of planeswalker stat blocks which are relevant to the current storyline was a good idea, but some of the flavor is a little offand it's odd to include Jace but not give any ideas on how to implement his abilities as Guildpact. If I were going to use some of these in a campaign, I would be inclined to increase Gideon's hp (why does Jace have more hp than Gideon?) The recommended reading was also a good include since these character's personalities have been established in a lot of published work by WotC, and the inclusion of characters as both antagonist and ally was also a good include for campaign ideas to include these characters. It would be nice to see a few more characters which haven't received cards on Ravnica, but were foreshadowed as appearing in the upcoming set, especially Nicol Bolas.

Solid 4-Stars. Liked it well enough, but didn't love it. In fact, it doesn't feel like a bad product at all, it just feels like it's missing some things that maybe weren't foreseen in this draft. It feels incomplete, but definitely not bad. Very much hoping to be able to 5-Star it soon.

What I loved: Having Ravnica without Planeswalkers was a huge disappointment. The fact that the publisher took it upon themself to fix that is AWESOME! Also, overall, the balance is spot on. Final point in the "good things" column, having the MtG colors adds a way for spells to be classified besides by schools (evocation, necromancy, etc).

What's missing: In the actual description of the background's unique feature (Planeswalker Spark), it describes receiving miraculous power (there's more, but I'm not giving out spoilers). I assume this is the point where you choose which color or colors you are aligned with. This is not plainly stated anywhere in the background. The background also does not address the option of choosing 2 colors instead of just 1 (it is stated in the introductory page of the "New Background" section, but not in the background itself). It also doesn't plainly state that the "miraculous power" granted by your spark is simply the "aligned" section of the chosen colors. Essentially, this product is completely usable for anyone capable of and comfortable with drawing on inferences. Not remotely bad, the user just has to assume a bit.

Would be nice, but didn't affect rating: This background gives bonuses to every class/subclass that has the spellcasting feature: however, it can't be applied to non-caster's. Non-caster characters gain almost nothing from this background. As of this edition of the product, we won't see any barbarian planeswalker's. Fighter, monk, and rogue planeswalkers are only possible with very specific subclasses (1 subclass for each of the aforementioned classes). I would love to someday see an update to this product that allows for non-caster planeswalkers (e.g. a Champion Fighter whose spark manifests by pumping his muscles full of planar magic, granting some sort of combat bonus. Still planeswalker magic, just not spells).

I have never reviewed anything on here before, so I'm not entirely sure what protocol is in regards to the following: if the creator is at all interested, and if DM's Guild allows it, I am willing to be more specific with the feedback provided and to provide suggested edits via some form of direct communication. They are not provided in this review in an effort to respect the property of the author.

One of the most common complaints I've heard about Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica is the total absence of Magic's iconic colors. Planeswalkers of Ravnica corrects that, with a simple mechanic that allows players to align with a color without much change to ther overall campaign. I also appreciated the addition of the Planeswalkers NPCs, which can help open up Ravnica even further for experienced Magic players.

I recommend this book to most people who are thinking of dabbling in the greater multiverse of Magic: the Gathering. It's a great guide to making planeswalker characters and a step into exploring the greater cast of M:tG with the provided planeswalker NPCs. You can feel that this was a passion project. A little shabby on grammar and spelling, and the formatting makes me feel like the author was passionate enough to put it out before giving it a final look-over and a back cover. But any criticism I have is really minor. Get this for the content, and start your planeswalker campaign today.
