Sorry for the delay. dangerousdice There's a lot going on here but it is well balanced. Are the inspirations colorless? Overall I think this shows the power of inspirations. Not a lot of interaction between the different sides, but getting a 5/5 flyer for five mana *and* a planeswalker is good. hydraheadhunter hehe, yup green and white are basically the same thing. lol =) For Yanggu, the second ability is a little odd to me. Remove all but get +1/+1 for each removed.... so overall it's +1/+1 if it had trample, but now doesn't have trample? And that ability doesn't really do much for Mowu. Instead of removing two, I just remove one, but the bonus is still the same? The plus counters I get and that all seems great. Strong ultimate, wordy but strong. Flo00 I miss Dack =( Love the +2, and I think that works as intended. The sorcery wording is probably more like Deathpact Angel and has all the right choices. Sorcery. 5 mana. only steals artifacts. requires a creature. All great. foureyesisafish For the creature, is that mana supposed to empty right away? I see you have the "doesn't empty" text on the other side. Salamander is an interesting choice of creature type too. =) winner dangerousdice , runner up Flo00 |

thanks for the win! (it's actually my first win!) next up: inspired by the current card of the week challenge (as seen here, magicseteditor.boards.net/thread/1600/cotw-364-when-flying), you will choose a entry from that contest and create a planeswalker from that plane. in addition, bonus points for not using flying. next challenge: create a planeswalker from Floatyplane or another world alluded to in the thread. bonus challenge: don't use flying. |

Nice to see my challenge spreading even further 
Here's my planeswalker design - probably fitting most planes showcased in the CotW thread so far, but mostly inspired by TheThirdMan 's Vehicle theme:

| Kixuroy, Professional Plummeter
A Generic, a black, and a green.
Legendary Planeswalker - Kixuroy
Each creaure your opponents control loses
flying and can't have or gain flying unless they
pay a generic to ignore this effect (for that creature)
until the start of your next turn.
+2: Create two 2/2 green bird creature tokens with flying.
Each opponent creates a 1/1 black spider with reach.
-7: Destroy all creatures without flying, then create that many
2/2 grean bird creature tokens with flying.
Starting loyalty 3

Plummeter just sounds like the kind a euphemism a sky-plane would think up to describe assassins. The card's +2 probably a bit too powerful right now for 1v1, but for a 4p commander game, it seems about right. With the passive -- paying the one is a special action that doesn't use the stack. When applicable (kixuroy etbs, at the start your turn, an opponent creature has or attempts to gain flying), each opponent may take a special action, paying one to ignore kixuroy's ability for that creature until the start of your next turn. If they don't, that creature loses flying instead. |

I'm going to wait for a few more entries before judging.
edit: if skyworld is to limiting, I will also accept entries inspired by this challenge. (https://magicseteditor.boards.net/thread/1605/cotw-contest-365-sees-blue)

Yeah i messed up the render and i was too unbothered to fix it: please just ignore my human errs and treat the text like it's oracle text (That's a third of the reason it's there), but the prompt was a planeswalker from/on a sky plane with "in addition, bonus points for not using flying." Flying wasn't strictly speaking prohibited. |

Are you allowed to change the meaning of an existing keyword like flying?

Are you allowed to change the meaning of an existing keyword like flying? You can do anything you want, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea, persay. The generally agreed upon best praxis is don't touch the reminder text for any evergreen mechanic (which would include flying). |

Given, it's more an extension of what flying already does than everything else. |

Given, it's more an extension of what flying already does than everything else. Yeah, fair enough point you got there. Adding to the mechanic's identity without changing how it works is very different from changing it. You're basically putting trample on a instant, which is a thing wizards did (Ilbeit, in an unset). |

Nice, big thanks for the win! 
Will try to figure out a new challenge till tomorrow, can't really think of anything right now..
EDIT: Sorry for the delay - here's the new challenge: inspired by my own previous entry, design a planeswalker card interacting with, buffing during, caring about combat in any way! Challenge is intentionally a bit vague, so have fun |

Anzgath, Pirate of the Skies   Legendary Planeswalker - Anzgath  Whenever one or more creatures you control attack an opponent, that player exiles the top card of their library. : Create a Treasure token. Until end of turn, you may play a card exiled by Anzgath. : Create a 2/2 red and black Pirate token with menace and haste.  : Gain control of up to three target creatures. Untap them. They gain haste. Exile them at the beginning of your next end step.  EDIT: Added haste on the token so that you can get two triggers over the two turns. |

Post by ZephyrPhantom on Aug 5, 2021 21:15:12 GMT
One of Superfriends' general known weaknesses is that it's slow and unable to pressure anyone in the early game. I decided to make a Planeswalker that tries to address those concerns in an interesting way. Talandris, Onyx-Fist Marshal  Planeswalker - Lyriel : Until end of turn, target planeswalker becomes a 4/4 Soldier creature that's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to it this turn. : You get an emblem with "Whenever a planeswalker attacks, each opponent loses 1 life."  : You may sacrifice a planeswalker. If you do, exile target creature or enchantment. While it lines up nicely with Gideon, it also scales well with the potential for more 2-mana or less Planeswalkers like Tibalt, the Fiend Blooded or Wrenn and Six. This may seem color intensive right now, but it would also be a good incentive to run Interplanar Beacon. In the worst case scenario it's a sorcery-speed Mortify that also eats an attack. |

Alright, ZephyrPhantom got me inspired. Anne, Spark Rallier   Legendary Planeswalker - Anne As long as it's your turn, planeswalkers you control are 0/0 Human Insect Soldier creatures with "This gets +1/+1 for each loyalty counter on it" that's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to planeswalkers you control during your turn.  : Creatures you control gain +1/+1 until end of turn. Planeswalkers you control gain vigilance and trample until end of turn. : Create a green and white Anne planeswalker token named Anne's Squire with "+1: You gain 2 life" and "-1: Untap target creature or land". It enters with a loyalty counter on it. SL: 4 |

Really glad this challenge suddenly popped up again resulting in more entries
I won't be able to judge today, but might do it on Wednesday - if I don't end up being knocked out by my vaccination again (finally getting my second shot tomorrow)  |

So yeah, the second shot did end up striking me down once more (still, it was worth it. Go get vaccinated, everyone ), and afterwards I completely forgot about me still being responsible for this one. To not stall this any further: The winner is lordpat! Totally love this design, seriously. (Only small nitpick: Could have been an Angrath walker.. Or rather, I assume there was some kind of typo involved? )Will add a full judgement as soon as possible. |

Thanks for the win! (And yes, it was a typo, so Angath joins the locust of hope in his quest for identity)
Here's something crazy though, tomorrow I'm getting my second covid vaccine shot! So, in celebration, the challenge is to create a planeswalker that cares about damage prevention, protection of some kind and/or lifegain. Challenge is vague so feel free to experiment (for example, og Gideon Jaura would count as he protects you by making creatures attack him!)
Good luck!

Laviosa Steadfast Legendary Planeswalker - Laviosa : Until your next turn, prevent all damage that would be dealt to and dealt by another target permanent. : Target creature you control gains protection from everything until end of turn. : Your life total becomes equal to the combined life total of all players. I thought it was funny and made a card that does all three things you asked for in that order. Technically if your opponent is playing things that prevent them from losing, the last ability could lose you life instead of gaining some. Also I'm not sure the total total thing is propper (Magic) English.Thenks for helping me word this correctly gamma3 and hydraheadhunter!

...I'm not sure the total total thing is propper (Magic) English. I think you could use "combined life totals" instead. Now on to my own entry! Banvar, Justiciar Exemplar Legendary Planeswalker - Banvar Protection from instants and sorceries : Until the end of your next turn, each player can't cast more than one noncreature spell. : Until your next turn, target creature has base power and toughness 1/1. : You get an emblem with "Creatures you control have Ward  ." |

Also I'm not sure the total total thing is propper (Magic) English. Seconding gamma's here: "Combined life totals of all players" sounds more magically correct. I love polypototons (which is one of the rhetorical figures "total lie totals" falls into), but magic rules text as a rule does its best to avoid rhetorical flowers that might make it harder to parse, and polypototons is one of those. |
