* Pretty much all the Planeswalkers in pre-[[CrisisCrossover Time Spiral]] MagicTheGathering. Planeswalkers, previously, were godlike beings of immeasurable power over not just one world, but all worlds, and the games were supposed to represent their duels (which were more like petty games than actual wars, since they could not be truly hurt). However, WizardsOfTheCoast realized that this meant that any time a character became [[PopularityPower popular/powerful]] enough, they could no longer [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence write stories or make cards about them,]] and also made it difficult for the players to relate to them. So it was decided to tone down the power of Planeswalkers, and in the process the board was wiped clean, with virtually every existing Planeswalker destroyed.
