Kaya seem really meh

Kaya's problem is and always will be the fact that once you ult, everything you worked towards is erased. There should be no shuffling of anything into your opponent's library, especially not your cards. Her ult should also heal you for the amount of damage it does. She is built to be a control pw with an alternate win-con yet she lacks survivability and a strong alt win-con. Her life total is still relatively low (yet at least higher than Sorin's) and her ult is not effective enough to win games for you outright unless you want to make it to turn 100 in the battle log. In order to keep her alive you need to have lots of removal which clogs up your decks ability to speed up her ult. She is simply bad. I will buy her for crystals when shes available (in like 5 weeks, assuming I haven't died of boredom). The only reason I will get her is the aforementioned boredom.

Since I have the opportunity, I'll toot my own horn once again and say that the Kaya I designed is better. If you'll notice, I posted that in January. They added her in like March. A lot of what I suggested was either spot on, or pretty close. A lot of the things I said they shouldn't do (like her first ability), are exactly what they did do. It's almost like they want blue to just be absolutely dominant. Brokhan and Ral are two of the best pws in game and not just because they can use BSZ, they have pretty awesome abilities and whatnot too. With Kaya, they had an opportunity to make a strong pw that isn't blue and give some balance to the meta. Instead they went with the status quo, make more bad pws that no one actually wants but will get out of boredom. A coalition mate of mine bought her for cash for exactly that reason. I'm annoyed with him because it just supports their decision to continue making **** planeswalkers.
