I think planeswalkers really want to be able to provide good value by themselves as well though and this one doesn't do that. If you play this into an open board doesn't really do much in standard typically, can't even cycle with the 1 extra mana.
Okayish walker but I don't expect much of it. Especially as it's so restrictive in mana and the color combination looks to be doing other things.
