This character is technically not a girl, i believe the gender is labelled as girlbeast, and there are several others (Artisanal Femme, Hellgender, Damp Man) but perhaps for the sake of this challenge perhaps we can imply that "girlbeast" can count as female.

So this ended up being a super weird amalgamation of the original idea I had, but I feel it kind of ended up in the right place. Originally, this started with a 0 for 'tap creature, it doesn't untap as long as you control esdeath' and a static with 'when a creature dies, if you damaged it, add a loyalty'. This turned into +2 tap/doesn't untap and then -4 skip an untap. I felt the doesn't untap was just too strong, like if you played that into an empty board the game was just over, something something balancing lol, so I toned it back. My main focus was on the skip an untap, that idea I got pretty early and wanted to focus on, and so I felt I needed to pull back the + to keep that idea, and then wanted the ult to be fairly vanilla. It swapped between exile and destroy a couple times, but I really want the skip an untap to be the flashy at least once, maybe twice, probably never third time 'wow' ability. It's actually funny that you mentioned the cost - the last, last thing I changed before posting was bumping her from 5 to 6 and changing Exile to Destroy on the ult, so I wouldn't disagree with you on that, I probably pulled back too far. Thank you for the feedback!
Rat First off, let me say that I am annoyed you beat me to this. Esdeath is definitely my favorite anime girl! As for your card, I don't know if I necessarily agree with the choice to make her a planeswalker, but it does let you represent a lot more of her abilities, so I can respect that. The card itself seems oddly balanced, since she costs a lot of mana to get down, but her +2 ability is kind of bad. On the flip side, however, her -3 ability seems insane if she can stick around on the board. Overall, though, I really like the card, I think you got a good amount of synergy here and represented her abilities faithfully.
