[MtG] How significant are we, the players, as planeswalkers, to the "main npc" walkers? What is our role in the story?

Depends on the format.  We have no role in the story, we are just random planeswalkers.  If you are playing Legacy or Vintage, you are likely several leagues above the main npc walkers in power.  You are powerful enough to give Nicol Bolas pause, and to make him wonder why he's never heard of you.  If you are playing Standard, you are still pretty far above the curve, but not so much that the stronger of the npcs wouldn't consider challenging you.  The multiverse is vast, and the players have traversed far more of it than most, but we have largely stayed out of the way of the main storylines so to speak.  When you get down to it, we are basically (canonically) just reenacting battles by summoning copies of creatures because we have nothing better to do.
