The Unluckiest is an unnamed[1] planeswalker from an undefined plane, who is cursed with bad luck.
Description
The bearded planeswalker is snazzy and sharp, but always in the wrong place at the wrong time.[2] He has a knack of getting in trouble, yet always ends up not dying.[3]
History
At some point, this planeswalker ran afoul of the Innistrad warlock Lynde who keeps a doll in his image which she uses for dark magic.
It has been speculated that, with his luck, the Unluckiest Planeswalker certainly would have ended up on Ravnica during the War of the Spark, although this is not confirmed.[3]
