Planeswalker Game

How about a planeswalker that no longer has any corporeal form?

Ashiok, the Wisp of Memory

Legendary Planeswalker--Ashiok

: Each opponent gets an emblem with “At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of your library face down.”
: Create a 0/0 blue and black Nightmare Horror creature token with “This creature gets +1/+1 for each face down card in exile.”
: You get an emblem with “You may look at and play face down cards from exile.”

I originally wanted to use this, as the art I was forced to use looks a lil' too derpy, but my preferred art unfortunately doesn't fit a 'walker, Texas Ranger card.

Legendary Planeswalker--Epo

: Each player draws a card and gains 3 life.

: Each player returns up to one permanent they own and/or control to its owner’s hand. You may activate this ability as an instant, but only if you haven’t activated it since your last turn began.

: Each player gets an emblem with “Spells you cast cost less to cast” and “Magecraft—Whenever a player casts or copies a spell, you add one mana of any type.”

EDIT: Alright, Flo00 , you've convinced me.

sdfkjgh just so I get this right, if I want, I could activate the in my turn and then the in one of my opponent's turns, right?
Also, that's not really magecraft.

1) Yes, you can on your turn, then on an opponent's turn.

2) Magecraft, as an ability word, can be whatever we say it is, so long as all instances of it bear a passing resemblance to each other. I would argue that Magecraft's defining characteristic is triggering off of casting or copying spells.

Flo00: To be quite honest with you, I completely forgot about this. Sorry all.

Jartis: I was having a hard time figuring out how your entry's first two abilities matched up to Darigaaz, but then I took an arrow to the kneechecked Gatherer and saw you were referencing his Charm.  Clever.

Flo00: I think you meant to say "that permanent", as "this permanent" implies that when your entry itself dies, it deals etc. etc. Other than that, you captured the character's essence slightly better than Jartis.

Sanfonier of the Night: Sometimes one can go a little too deep into their theme. Yes, Tahngarth may as well be called "Fighty-Fighty Man", but that's not all he does.  Plus, your templating needs a bit of work, especially since keeping Tahngarth as a planeswalker when he fights still removes loyalty counters when he's dealt damage, and is an automatic forced sacrifice.

In the end, Flo00's elegant simplicity of design just barely managed to squeak by Jartis, who was too clever by half for their own good.  You tell people that a planeswalker is based on a legendary creature, they're gonna look to that creature to see the inspiration, not a card tangentially related to that creature.  Mebbe you could do the tangential reference for the third, fourth, or fifth version of the planeswalker, but not as the first.  @minividrus, keep working at your designs, there's something worth exploring here, it just needs some cleaning up.

Oh, and the correct answer was Veldrane of Sengir.
