Mu Yanling card art
Mu Yanling lands and immediately threatens to take over the game — her ultimate generates free 4/4 fliers every upkeep, and she protects herself with a bounce ability that doubles as tempo. The cost is real: three mana for a planeswalker with only 3 loyalty means she dies to a stiff breeze, and she needs protecting to pay off. In Muldrotha, the Gravetide shells she recurs from the graveyard to sidestep that fragility entirely, which is where she earns her keep.

Commander is the primary home for Mu Yanling — the long game gives her time to ultimate, and graveyard recursion commanders like Muldrotha, the Gravetide transform her low loyalty from a liability into a non-issue. In Legacy and Vintage, she's technically legal but competes against planeswalkers with immediate board impact or game-ending ultimates at the same or lower cost, so she sees essentially no play there. Oathbreaker is the one non-Commander format worth mentioning: a three-mana planeswalker as your oathbreaker generates tokens at a pace that compounds quickly in a lower-life-total environment.

unknown tier

Current pricing data for Mu Yanling isn't available in this snapshot, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a live number. Given her niche Commander role and absence from competitive formats, she typically sits in the budget-to-mid range — worth picking up if you're building a Muldrotha or Atraxa list rather than speculating on movement.
