About Kiora, the Crashing Wave

Kiora, the Crashing Wave, Legendary planeswalker — kiora, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.62.

This Kiora, the Crashing Wave card would be beneficial in a Simic ramp deck that focuses on ramping up mana quickly to play big creatures. While Kiora's abilities provide some control and card advantage, there are better planeswalker options for competitive play in formats like Standard or Modern, such as Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, which offers more consistent value and impact on the game. However, for a casual or thematic deck centered around sea creatures and ramp strategies, Kiora could definitely see play and add a fun element to the gameplay.

Rules

02/01/14

If Kiora leaves the battlefield after her second ability is activated but before it resolves, you’ll still be able to play an additional land after the ability resolves.

02/01/14

Kiora’s first ability can target any permanent an opponent controls, not just one that can deal or be dealt damage.

02/01/14

Kiora’s second ability allows you to play an additional land during your main phase. Doing so follows the normal timing rules for playing lands. In particular, you won’t play a land as that ability resolves. The ability will fully resolve (and you’ll draw a card, perhaps a land you’ll play later) first.
