Alright, judging time! As always, I try to give my opinion an comments on the card, but if you disagree with me or you just simply want to share your thoughts about the card I encourage you to either bring up your complaints on the thread or PM me. With that being said, let's go! horizons : Vivien, Lifeweaver {Spoiler}Interesting card. I like the -1 a lot. The +1 works fine, but seems a little bit underwhelming. The ultimate is game-winning but at -8 it won't be used almost never. Anyways, good card, I really see it being printable. burntsquirrelman : Lyph the Malignant {Spoiler}The emblem should day "...tap each creature with toughness 5 or greater you control.", right? The -2 is pretty solid and I like the 0 being effectively a +1, but it bugs me a little bit that the emblem doesn't sinergyze with +1/+1 counters, which seem to be the theme of the walker. Also the emblem looks underwhelming to me, you need 4 turns to get it and it doesn't hit that many creartures. It's probably good in commander but outside of it it's definitely not what I want to be doing by turn 9. Daij_Djan : Sarkhan, Lord of Dragons {Spoiler}Sarkhancycling is GREAT. Also, the -2 putting +1/+1 counters on other Sarkhan planeswalkers is a very good idea. Sweet card. Evil Coco : Nicol Bolas, Dreadhorde Queen {Spoiler}The +1 dealing damage to creatures and the -3 destroying creatures seems like an odd combination for me. If the first ability was players or any target (I think you can afford the "any target" at 6CMC) it would be much better. The ultimate is Commence the Endgame and I think it works, given the title. Jartis : Asim, Disciple of the Avenger {Spoiler}The first think I though after seeing your card was that i was too wordy. The +2 is great. The -5 is weird, I think that ability wants to be in an enchantment or in an emblem and not in a PW non-ultimate ability. I like the emblem, it combos great with the +2. I have another problem with it. Hitting the battlefield by turn 3 and inmediattly going to 5 loysalty can be a pretty big deal, given that the emblem is relatively close and that the +2 is really impactful. Fleur : Old-Hours Sienna {Spoiler}I kind like this one, it feels blue, but also feels golgari. I feel that the best part is the emblem. In a self-mill deck that thing is very cool. Tesagk : Ajani, Champion of the Spark {Spoiler}I really like the choices of the +1, and the static also looks good. The extra-combat thing doesn't feel very Ajani-y, but the keyword soup in the -5 works welll with the rest of the keywords in the card.
I don't like the emblem, it is a big break for Naya colors. It doesn't fit mechanically with the rest of the card neither flavorfully with the character of Ajani ot with the philosophy of Naya. With another ultimate, this card would have been just great in my opinion. {And the winner is...} Daij_Djan ! I really like the Sarkan-cycling. The runner ups are Fleur with the silver medal and horizons with the bronze one! I liked all them walkers this time around, the ideas were all very good. See you all next time! EDIT: God, I hate formatting spoilers in the site. |

I decided to give this one a rewrite, because it was cobbled together last second, is one of my favorite Planeswalkers, and I think it can work better thematically.  |

Kuon of Yavimaya   Legendary Planeswalker — Kuon  : Reveal the top four cards of you library. You may put a creature card from among them into your hand. Put the rest into your graveyard.  : Create a 3/3 green Ape creature token.  : Creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of creatures in your graveyard. Shuffle any number of target creature cards from your graveyard into your library.  From the MTG Wiki: “The apes of Yavimaya are sapient and engage in a form of ancestor worship that draws strength from their forebears” |

the more obvious chimera-y parts are under the loyalty boxes, so appreciate the excellent piece by Ryan Van Dongen here Pasaare, the First Mother   Legendary Planeswalker- Pasaare  : Create a 1/1 blue Bird creature token with flying.  : Create a green Aura enchantment token named Chimera’s Touch attached to target creature. The token has enchant creature and “Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has haste, hexproof, and trample.”  : Put a form counter on any number of creatures you control. Whenever you put a counter on a creature this way, it becomes a copy of target creature.  {RIP}
For each token you control, create a red Aura enchantment token named Fury attached to it. The token has enchant permanent and “Whenever enchanted permanent or the permanent it’s attached to becomes tapped, it deals 2 damage to each opponent.”

Here it is. So, a little background here. I really like the idea of an Angel planeswalker. Sadly, for lore reasons, it apparently can't happen (😭) so Xyorsa is actually a former Angel, one that gave up many of her Angelic powers in order to aid humanity on her plane through a crisis, one in which the other Angels didn't feel the need to interfere (yes, very much Diablo 3ish) but she was a powerful Archangel, and retains her ability to bestow Angelic powers, which she can use on others and even herself to some extent. Thus:  |

There is no angel planeswalker because of what Tesagk said, lore stuff. Angels are 'artificial' beings and can't be born with sparks. Also, I'll try to update my own entry in this post. |

Technically we know about this sphinx planeswalker, we just haven't seen a planeswalker card of him. Azor, Supreme Judge  Legendary Planeswalker - Azor Starting Loyalty: 3 Azor, Supreme Judge can't be attacked except by creatures with flying. : Draw a card. Look at target opponents hand.  : Return target creature and all other creatures with the same name as that creature to their owners' hands.  : Name a nonland card. You gain an emblem with "Opponents can't cast spells with the chosen name." EDIT: Rebalancing, felt too efficient. |

I just went down the list of planeswalkers noted their species, which would make them ineligible for the contest.
Devil - Tibalt (half devil)
Satyr - Xenagos
Nightmare - Ashiok (I'm guessing)
Spirit - Ugin, Kaya (possibly)
Demon - Ob Nixilis (human who became a demon)
Golem - Karn (given a spark artificially)
Also I forgot dryad on that list, I forgot about Wrenn because it's so recent.

There are no khENRA PLANESWALKERS!- Rhata, the Faithless Legendary Planeswalker - Rhata   :: :: :Target creature you control gets +2/+0 and gains haste until end of turn. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step. :Until end of turn, whenever a creature attacks, Rhata, the Faithless deals 1 damage to defending player.  :Creatures you control gain trample and “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card” until end of turn. Untap them. After this turn's postcombat main phase, there is an additional combat phase, followed by an additional main phase. If there were any planeswalkers in Naktamun, their sparks surely would have ignited after feeling the deaths of their gods. After losing her twin brother in the struggle against the Eternals and surviving the demise of Amonkhet's only known city, Rhata chose to explore the other pantheons of the Multiverse instead of wandering the wastes of the desert. To any who ask, she recounts her story and concludes she is in search of gods who deserve such a ruthless header and vicious warrior as their champion, but her true goal is to earn the favor or strike the bargain that will return her brother to life. Get out your "OC do not steal" jokes, I guess. |

Harash, Fang of the Brood  Legendary Planeswalker - Harash Whenever one or more creatures you control dies, draw a card, then discard a card. : Put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard. If one of those cards is a creature card, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. : Put all creatures from your graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step.  This has all sorts of balancing issues. Imma ship it. Also, my symbols are not rendering on my computer. Let me know if you can see them. |

This round's been almost three weeks in the making. Paging Daij_Djan for a verdict (politely, with the understanding that he's injured <3). |

With me finally being back on track and three contests having pilled up, this is indeed the first one to be judged. Please no further changes of entries!
{ Evil Coco} This actually made me smile quite a bit, as the first planeswalker card I ever designed (at least as far as I can remember) was indeed my own take on a Sliver one  That aside, you design looks completely solid even if it feels like all abilities were just „as expected“.. { gluestick248} Solid and flavorful, I like it (also thanks for providing that short quote). Very small wording nitpick: In his you forgot to refer to creature cards once. { Flo00} Have to admit, when I first saw that render I thought of a Treefolk rather than an Elemental – but I guess the lines tend to get a bit blurry in that regard That aside, I really like that ability mix, especially his – he does feel a bit underwhelming for a CMC6 walker, though. { augur} Pretty cool mix of abilities indeed. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the creating Bird tokens though – also the wording of the feels a bit off: „Put a form counter on any number of creatures you control. Each of those creatures becomes a copy of target creature. “ should work just fine. { Tesagk} Yeah, Angels not being able to become planeswalkers always felt a bit weird for me – I mean I do get why they are not supposed to be „born“ with one, but in a world where sparks can ge giftet and stolen.. But anyway, my main concern with Xyorsa is how her abilities feel rather repetitive as all three of them just grant abilities to your creatures (and each one even grants vigilance). Like the interation between her and her are cute, so I get why you'd want to keep them (except maybe not make both grant vigilance) – but then at least doing something different with the would have been a good call imho. { gateways7} I love that , Sure, it potentially offeres a lot of card advantage for a CMC3 planeswalker, but as it's tied to a fragile planeswalker but then could still get reclaimed after said planeswalker gets removed.. Really cool concept. I do think the planeswalker just having two abilities at rare looks a bit „empty“, even though it might be the better choice balancing wise.. { HvT} Clever choice of character indeed! I really love the flavor of the static ability to prevent attacks, but I am concerned about it at the same time. Sure, it's obviously very color intensive, but a CMC4 walker with passive protection and a that's drawing additional cards?It does sound dangerous – but cool {@fabuloussunbro} I really like your concept behing Rhata and I think I'd really enjoy seeing / reading more of her! The card itself is solid – her should have the „Up to one“ clause and I think I'd prefer her to grant your creatures menace rather than trample (I do like it offers no power/toughness boost, btw). { Xenozfan2} The concept is pretty nice, but the concept it kind of wonky indeed. The static ability alone is pretty nice seeing as it's not restricted to nontoken creatures, whereas the feels rather underpowered for a three-colored CMC5 walker – unless you get the ultimate to fire (which actually is not that hard at ) which then again could be borderline broken.. Not sure of the best fix, tbh – but it does feel like some number fiddeling would be needed here. {And the winner is..} We sure had some really unique characters around, but in the end I had to give the win to HvT – while I'm slightly concerend about the powerlevel here, the combination of flavor and abilities is just too cool to not be rewarded. Runner-ups go to gateways7 and @fabuloussunbro in no particular order. |

He is a treefolk allright. I just thought it would make more sense if animated landscape is Elemental rather than his own kin.

Thanks for the win I really enjoyed the challenge, I remember having a similar challenge on the old magicseteditor site so I was easily inspired. I've been wanting to see Azor as a planeswalker and puzzled on how to make it, the only thing I knew going in was that I wanted it to be a "flying planeswalker". I agree it's probably still too efficient and I'll likely try rebalancing later.
Next Challenge: You too must create a mythic planeswalker with three loyalty abilities and one nonloyalty ability. This could be a passive ability, triggered ability, activated ability, ETB, or something else like the new Chandra's "can't be countered" ability. The only things I won't count are "Partner with" and "This planeswalker can be your commander".

Gideon the Valiant Legendary Planeswalker — Gideon Indestructible, lifelink, vigilance (A planeswalker with no loyalty counters is put into its owner’s graveyard): Gideon the Valiant deals 2 damage to target tapped creature.  : Until end of turn, Gideon the Valiant becomes a 5/5 Human Soldier creature that’s still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn. : You get an emblem with “At the beginning of each combat, creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn if a permanent you control has first strike. The same is true for flying, deathtouch, double strike, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, protection, reach, trample, and vigilance.” Hopefully this makes sense |

Arcos, Experienced Necromancer Legendary Planeswalker - Arcos Whenever a creature token you control dies, put a loyalty counter on Arcos, Experienced Necromancer. : Create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. : Sacrifice a creature. If you do, put the top three cards of your library into your graveyard, then draw a card. : Exile a creature card from your graveyard, then create X 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens, where X is that creature card's toughness. Sort of a mix between Ghoulcaller Gisa and Dovin, Grand Arbiter. Does edge on Liliana's territory, but I wanted someone different. |

Not a Garruk clone... but definitely a rival!  |

"When in doubt, do a common." 
: Each land you control becomes a 0/0 Elemental creature that’s still a land. Put three +1/+1 counters on each creature you control.
That aside, you design looks completely solid even if it feels like all abilities were just „as expected“..
