@ElvaanStrider If you want to see stat gains and other info, including max level loyalty skill check out @octal9's website.
https://beta.mtgpq.info/planeswalker/
Also, if you switch tabs you have the best resource available to MTGPQ players. You can view all of the cards in the game, plenty of sorting and searching features including standard format.
Can't believe I didn't think to mention this site before. I go there at least 2-3 times per day. (Sorry for the lite usage of recent Octal9!)
If you are prioritizing planewalkers I would go:
Kiora, Saheeli Rai, Nahiri (or Adjani 1), Dovin Bane, and probably Ob Nixilis. This would get you a very versatile group with coverage of the wheel. This will allow you to compete in PvE and all of the PvP events.
But that's a LOT of crystals. Regardless, I would buy either Kiora or Nissa, Steward of elements first and then not bother leveling Nissa 1 or Jace 1. These are 2 of the weakest starter walkers and not worthy of your runes

Kiora has the best color combination in the game; green provides fast mana, support removal, (and, if you're lucky enough, Gaea's Revenge, one of the best threats in the game); and blue provides everything else. Additionally, all three of Kiora's abilities are powerful and relevant to the game... and green's tendancy to create a lot of green matches also creates a lot of loyalty for you to use them.Much like paper magic, blue always seems to have the most broken cards, from Thopter Spy Network in Origins and Prism Array in BFZ, through to Baral in KLD and NewPs+Draven in AKH.Interestingly, when Tezzeret 2 came along, it looked like he'd knock Kiora off her top spot as best PW in the game, but the introduction of Standard knocked his power down a hell of a lot... which is not to say he's not still really powerful, just that, well, he's less powerful than when he's able to play both Behold the Beyond and Startled Awake. Without certain uber-power cards to push him over the edge, his failings became more obvious; his abilities are kinda weak, and he has no support removal.
