==Kaya's Cards==
Kaya has appeared on 3 different cards (and a playtester card) so far.

Her first incarnation, Kaya, Ghost Assassin, details her time while on Fiora. A 2 generic, 1 white, 1 black mana 5 loyalty walker. Her 0 exiles herself, or up to 1 other creature, and returns them back to the battlefield on the beginning of your next upkeep at the cost of 2 life. This is probably the weirdest form of planeswalker protection currently in print, as you can't kill something that isn't on the board! Her -1 pings each opponent for 2 and gives you 2. Her -2 causes every opponent to discard a card and you draw a card. As she was designed with Conspiracy: Take the Crown in mind, Kaya, Ghost Assassin focuses on making lots of people groan incrementally and consistently. She's also tricky to deal with, because unless you target her with direct removal, she can keep looping herself and resetting her loyalty.

Her second incarnation, Kaya, Orzhov Usurper, very clearly details her time as the Orzhov guildmaster. A 1 generic, 1 white, 1 black mana 3 loyalty walker. Her +1 exiles up to two cards from a single graveyard, and gives you 2 life as long as you exiled a creature. Her -1 exiles any nonland permanent with CMC 1 or lower. Her Ultimate at -5 deals damage to target player equal to the number of cards in exile, and you gain that much life. A very graveyard-centric walker, Kaya, Orzhov Usurper is here to make sure that your opponents don't do anything funny with their yards. Don't expect to be reanimating anything while she is on the field. She has seen a recent resurgence in standard, after the release of the graveyard-centric set: Theros Beyond Death.

Her third incarnation, Kaya, Bane of the Dead details her time hopping from guild to guild during War of the Spark. One of the lower rarity walkers, she appears as a 3 generic, 3 black/white hybrid mana 7 loyalty walker. Her passive nullifies the effects of Hexproof for all of your opponents. Her one ability at -3 simply exiles any creature. Designed with limited in mind, Kaya doesn't exactly bring much to the competitive table, as she is super expensive to get out. However, if you manage to draft her, she is a decent source of removal for those lacking it.

Kaya also has an accompanying Oath, representing her joining the Gatewatch. It may also be the only Oath that has seen competitive play. At 1 generic, 1 white, 1 black mana, Oath of Kaya comes down and [https://scryfall.com/card/ima/204/lightning-helix|Lightning Helixes] anything, which is already pretty good. In addition, Oath of Kaya punishes opponents who go after your walkers, pinging your opponents for 2 and you gaining 2 every time they try and attack a walker with a creature.
