Narset, Parter of Veils

Cap each opponent at one card per turn and an entire school of Magic stops functioning. This planeswalker exists to punish decks that convert card advantage into velocity: extra-draw engines, every spell that says "draw two," every Wheel of Fortune symmetry-break, every cantrip chained off a storm turn. All of it collapses to a single card while she sits on the board, and none of it touches the opponent's normal draw step. That makes her a targeted answer rather than a generic threat. The design tension runs deeper than the loyalty math suggests: she is doing hatebear tax work loyalty planeswalkers were not built to carry, a static effect welded onto a permanent rather than a body, and the frame reflects it. There is no plus, no ultimate, no clock. She cannot end a game on her own and never tries to. Her one activated ability, available the moment she lands at five loyalty, digs four deep for the noncreature spell you actually need, so the two halves of the card mirror each other: one denies your opponent the cards they were counting on, the other hands you exactly the ones you want. Unlike a stax piece, she does not tax your own draws in the process. She is what you reach for when the problem is not creatures or life total but the raw quantity of cards flowing across the table.
