So with an available on color match on the board, Koth makes twice as much mana as many other planeswalkers. Sure, the board will run out of red gems, but then his first skill will counteract that and often gain enough loyalty to use it again next turn.

AI uses always the higher skill available each turn. This means that it can waste some first skill and never save for other skills. That makes it easier for us usually. Kiora first skill is almost never a waste. When you add just a couple op cards(exert-undergrowth-harbinger etc...) the chance it will own you are high. - nissa and Garruck are at BIG disadvantage, Having only one removal(at rather high cost). If something unexpected happens in the first couple turns and you have not scour in starting hand... You have basically lost. If I had great aurora I would play it as "single target situational removal" only because of this. I lost twice so far in this event, both times against kiora and both times with green deck(Garruck) Next pvp event I will play kiora as green and use a Jace or tezz full control with thopters.
