Thanks! I was searching to check if someone had made an "exactly two colors" challenge, but found this challenge by Fleur. So here's something in that vein! Choose two --* Your planeswalker has an (non-loyalty) activated or triggered ability. * Your planeswalker has no loyalty abilities that target. * Your planeswalker has more than one loyalty ability that adds loyalty. * Your planeswalker has at least one nonstandard mana symbol (the generic mana symbol and the five colored mana symbols are standard). * Your planeswalker is exactly two colors. * Your planeswalker is exactly four colors. |

* Your planeswalker has an (non-loyalty) activated or triggered ability. * Your planeswalker has no loyalty abilities that target. I was going to try and fit as many as I could into one card, but then remembered... "choose two". lol  I wanted to show the planeswalker turning into a swarm and back. EDIT: changed last ability to not target |

 Edit: Now fits exactly two criteria because the card wasn't as blue as I initially planned it to be. Still has more than one ability that adds loyalty and a non-loyalty ability. |

Is it ok to choose more than two? Ishtar, the Mindmolder  Legendary Planeswalker - Ishtar  Whenever one or more loyalty counters are removed from Ishtar, the Mindmolder, draw that many cards. : Each player discards two cards, then draws a card. : Create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token.  |

-Nonloyalty triggered ability. (Okay, perhaps technically.) -No loyalty abilities that target.
-More than one loyalty ability that adds loyalty.
Masking is hard and I hate it so I'm probably never going to bother again

Yoss, Metered Mentor  Legendary Planeswalker - Yoss At the beginning of your main phase, if Yoss has two or fewer loyalty counters on him, you may transform him.  : Create three 1/1 white Soldier tokens.  : You get an emblem with "Creatures you control get +2/+2 and gain double strike, lifelink, and indestructible."  Yoss, Enraged General  Legendary Planeswalker - Yoss At the beginning of your main phase, if Yoss has eight or more loyalty counters on him, you may transform him.  : Creatures you control get +2/+0 and gain haste until the end of turn. : Until end of turn, whenever a creature you control deals damage, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card.  : You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control deals damage, you may discard a card. If you do, draw two cards." It's kind of weird, but I've been spending a lot of time watching some politics go down on my side of the world and I have a friend I'm meeting in a bit, so I'm submitting. viriss: I'm not saying Count Orlok is Batman, I'm just saying they're never seen in the same room together. |

Post by augur on Nov 25, 2019 5:13:47 GMT
well… sorry for being such a shitter, but here’s the judging. only incredibly late {viriss} I like the idea of the planeswalker becoming creatures, but this is essentially an undying series of at least four 1/1 fliers. Grabbing creatures in a pinch is solid (though three seems pretty high), but the creaturemaking is just so strong that it doesn’t really matter. {gluestick248} Verikk, the Gravetender Legendary Planeswalker -- Verikk : You gain 1 life for each creature card in your graveyard : Each player sacrifices a creature : Search your library for up to three creature cards and put them into your graveyard, then shuffle your library Pretty sure that the repeatable sac won’t lead to good things, since you can deckbuild around it then just never let your opponent have a creature. The other plus is solid, but the “ult” is relatively weak since turn five is a little late for entomb to be doing powerful things (assuming it’s even in a format with things for entomb to bin). {fabuloussunbro} The front half’s ramp is nice. The buff is weaker but probably fine given the rest and the utility it offers. My guess is that the play will either be ramp or do nothing the first turn, and have a 3/3 with a team buff which is nice. The ult is really nice, I get that the printed creature types is to not be busted with changelings, but I wonder if just the creature tutor is strong enough. (I assume you’re missing until end of turn on the animate ability) {Flo00} Ishtar, the Mindmolder Legendary Planeswalker - Ishtar Whenever one or more loyalty counters are removed from Ishtar, the Mindmolder, draw that many cards. : Each player discards two cards, then draws a card. : Create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. The general idea of the draw static along with two plus abilities is great but this specifically is either a 2/2 that also draws two cards or an endless stream of 2/2s… for two mana. The idea of the other plus is also interesting, but it also suffers from being easily repeatable and at two mana (though much less so than the token one). {mrlozano} "Your planeswalker has an (non-loyalty) activated or triggered ability" and "Your planeswalker is exactly four colors". This can get pretty explosive if you build around it, but doesn’t reach full potential until later in the game which is a good spot. All of the abilities seem to play well and play well together. I am a little wary of the one-sided boardwipe potential of the minus (maybe four starting loyalty?). I’m also unsure on the colors- it’s not really blue at all, and I think there’s even a case for just BR. {HvT} Tevash Svat the Traitor Legendary Planeswalker - Tevash Starting Loyalty: 4 At the beginning of your upkeep, if Tevash Svat the Traitor has ten or more loyalty counters on him, you lose 10 life and each opponent gains 10 life. Sacrifice Tevash. : Target opponent sacrifices a creature or planeswalker. That player gains control of Tevash. : Draw a card. Tevash deals damage to you equal to the number or cards in your hand. Tevash's owner gains control of him. So without interference, you’ll plus to 6, your opponent will plus to 8, then you’ll plus to 10 and donate it back. The payoff being a 10 point drain = 20 point swing which is… probably around the same strength as an ult? However your opponent can interfere pretty easily by not doing anything and having tevash be a five mana edict, which I don’t think is a good play pattern. {lizstar} The flipping is nice, though I think that being both atticus and other pws splits it a bit. The themes of the front half come through- I’d say the power level is a little low, but made up for on the back. I do wish that the +2 was a +1 to help get the transform trigger and/or that the plus and minus synergized better. I do like the suite of abilities on the back, though I think the -2 should count other permanents you control. {xylophone} Planartog   Tribal Planeswalker - Atog  Sacrifice an artifact: Put two loyalty counters on Planartog.  : Until end of turn, Planartog becomes a creature with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of loyalty counters on it."  According to Ravenous Intruder, Atog is surprisingly still around the right power level. Making a strong creature attackable as a downside is… interesting? but really doesn’t fit with the planeswalker type/idea of a planeswalker at all. {gateways7} I like the idea of a dragon protecting its hoard, but both of the plus abilities are quite weak. Even racing to the ult (which is quite nice and neat) and getting the lifedrain value along the way isn’t quite enough value for a four color planeswalker. Also colors- not really seeing the white in here. {2wb} Wow, I love that triggered ability. Works very well with the two plus abilities challenge. I really like both of the plus abilities as well- I feel that they’re at the right power considering the triggered ability, and both do interesting things. I don’t think I like the second plus scaling with the number of opponents, though. {Xenozfan2} Yoss, Metered Mentor Legendary Planeswalker - Yoss At the beginning of your main phase, if Yoss has two or fewer loyalty counters on him, you may transform him. : Create three 1/1 white Soldier tokens. " style="max-width:100%;"]: You get an emblem with "Creatures you control get +2/+2 and gain double strike, lifelink, and indestructible." Yoss, Enraged General Legendary Planeswalker - Yoss At the beginning of your main phase, if Yoss has eight or more loyalty counters on him, you may transform him. " style="max-width:100%;"]: Creatures you control get +2/+0 and gain haste until the end of turn. " style="max-width:100%;"]: Until end of turn, whenever a creature you control deals damage, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card. " style="max-width:100%;"]: You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature you control deals damage, you may discard a card. If you do, draw two cards." There’s a lot of decisions to be made, and the payoffs seem pretty high. My guess is that the best lines will either be making tokens twice and using a couple to chump then pumping and swinging, or making tokens once then attacking with them and your other creatures the turn after that. I like the idea of moving between the two states, though I think it also creates perhaps too many decisions- I think you could safely cut the ult on the back compared to the ult on the front. Main phase is also a weird time to flip. {kefke} A one-sided Winter Orb with the downside being it can be attacked. I don’t hate the idea of making a powerful effect with the downside that it can be attacked (though my personal philosophy is to spread the power out over more than just the nonloyalty ability, which I assume Implements do not). Taking an existing, powerful lock piece and shifting it to only affect opponents was probably not the way to go about that, though. I do like how the ult creates additional versatility for the plus, though. Winner {contained herein…}
Congratulations to your winner 2wb!
Also give a big hand to your second place finisher fabuloussunbro!
…and a big cheer to the honorable mentions (unordered): lizstar, mrlozano, and Xenozfan2! |

I didn't either but I was so close to fulfilling three challenges that I wanted to go the whole distance.
Whoops, I should remember to check forums more than once a week even when I'm really busy.
Uhhhhh...
Since they've been so problematic recently, therefore on my mind, how about:
Design a Planeswalker that can cost 3 or less mana.
The reason why doesn't matter.

Sliver Planes-Assimilator 3WUBRG
Legendary Planeswalker - Sliver
For each color, if you control a sliver of that color, Sliver Planes-Assimilator costs that much less to cast.
0: Until end of turn, Sliver Planes-Assimilator becomes a 5/5 Sliver creature with Indestructible that's still a planeswalker. Until end of turn, sliver creatures you control have "Sacrifice this creature: put a loyalty counter on target planeswalker you control."
+2: Create 2 colourless 1/1 Human Sliver creature tokens named "Infected"
-3: Create a token that is a copy of target creature, it is a sliver in addition to its other types.
-12: Search your library for any number of non-sliver creature cards, and separate those cards into two piles. An opponent chooses one of those piles, and puts each creature in that pile onto the battlefield under their control. Then, put all the creatures in the other pile onto the battlefield under your control. They're Slivers in addition to their other creature types. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
(5 base loyalty)

Probably one of the silliest designs I've ever done, all around the question "Can you actually make a one mana cost planeswalker"?
I made this a bit ago actually, for a friend. She asked me to make her a card based on her, as the worst planeswalker card I could imagine. I made it as good as I could based on her perimeters.
EDIT: based on criticism from kefke, tried to rebalance it a bit. It used to be +4, +2, -6. Thoughts?

TBH, that's actually a pretty overpowered card. Life isn't at a premium at the start of the game, and unless the opponent is rocking one of their own, there's no counter to it. Using only the first and last ability (the second is actually useless, since it specifies "three less" and not "at least three less") you can rack up a lot of unavoidable damage per turn on your opponent. Plus, it's in White, which is one of the best colours for life gain to counteract the necessary life loss you'll take getting it online. |

All right, take two. Isfil Vaen, now with stronger theming.  Originally, I had Isfil as a general rabble-rouser and rebel, but the middle ability (granting your creatures first strike, but "exhausting" any that attack) felt clumsy and disjointed. Proliferate isn't a very Red or White mechanic (although it has been seen in each colour), but it is a very Phyrexian mechanic, and I feel fits with Isfil's general "counters matter" theming better than his original ability. Throughout the block it was introduced in, proliferate spread to more colours as Phyrexian influence spread, so I think it's reasonable to assume that in a Phyrexia not fighting the world itself, it would be more prevalent in Red and White as well.
Lore-wise, I evvision Isfil as a Phyrexian heretic. Hence the focus on a paradoxical mix of Phyrexian mechanics with Phyrexian-hating mechanics.

Found an idea... Teyo, Shield of the Watch  Legendary Planeswalker - Teyo Whenever a creature attacks Teyo, Shield of the Watch, put a loyalty counter on Teyo. +1: Target creature gains absorb 1 and lifelink until end of turn. -3: Tap an opponent's creature for each creature you control. -8: You get an emblem with, "each opponent must pay X for each creature that attacks you, where X is equal to Teyo's loyalty. <3>  |

Legendary Planeswalker - Ivana Ivana, Living Library costs  less to cast, where X is the number of different names among instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard. : Draw a card, discard a card, then return a random instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.  : Reveal your hand. For each different name among instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard and hand, you may cast a card of that name from your graveyard or hand without paying its mana cost. |

 Something something greatest thief in the Multiverse. She gets in after your other creatures have made a commotion, finds what you're looking for, and then your whole board gets away clean with some treasure. Also actually Mainframed. |
