Paranoid of the Paranormal is a weird name for a creature, but I think it fits. This definitely is a bit pushed IMO. 8/10 Anne just thinks for a second before responding. "...I wasn't always human, but I wouldn't call myself a shapeshifter exactly..."

A strange-looking woman stops while walking by Anne, before turning on her heel and walking straight towards Anne. She raises her hand in a stiff salute. "Salutations! I-detect-your-discomfort-with-your-form. Are-the-physics-of-this-realm-not-to-your-liking?" The woman asks in a stilted voice, stiffly gesturing outwards towards the rest of the Arena. "I-have-yet-to-locate-the-master-of-law-here. Are-you-the-law-master?" She stretches out a hand towards Anne, in some kind of gesture of friendship. Probing Questions  Sorcery  Choose a nonland card type, then target opponent reveals their hand. Draw a card for each card of the chosen type revealed this way. "What's your name? Where were you born? What's your mother's maiden name? How many siblings do you have?"

Subject N3: 4/10. I feel bad for doing this to the first post after a hiatus, and after giving 4/10 to the last card, but this card deserves to be torn apart a bit as a fun exercise in planeswalker design. So I get that it's supposed to be a planeswalker that supports other planeswalkers, but I think this could only see play in commander. In any other format I'd rather have Lightning Helix because you're probably not going to have enough planeswalkers in your deck for this to be as useful as it should be (Unless you're playing War of the Spark, I guess). Looking at the closest canon card, Chandra, Acolyte of Flame has a 0 that does something and lets you use her last ability as soon as you play her. Anne's last ability suffers from the same issue: Jace, Cunning Castaway can make copies of himself, but his other two abilities do stuff. Really it's just that she's only useful if you have other planeswalkers on the battlefield, which, maybe that's what you're going for, but I'd change her up a bit and make her uncommon. The passive is fun for flavor, but realistically doesn't mean anything because as far as I know only green is the only color that would care about it. Atlani's face betrays a harsh mix of confusion, concern, and disbelief, which she tries to wipe away as she shakes Anne's hand. "An ant? As in the tiny ones? I don't think I've ever seen anything grow that much, even with magic." Transform Spirit    Sorcery  Destroy target creature. Its controller creates a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.

I'll give it 9/10 because I like the idea. Anne begins to march behind Atlani. "The world is an extremely scary place when you're small. You giants loomed over us like gods, and even the smallest bits of loot and food were valuable. I spent most of my time fighting off rival scouts at my colony's borders.

Anne Myria sat on a bench at one of the many parks of the arena… alone for once, her colony mates having gone out to explore the area. As she did, she thought back to the time when she was just adjusting to being human… to the stories her mentor told her of where she was from. Of the power of a planeswalker’s spark.
As Anne focuses on her memories, a crackle emerges from her hand.

Anne launched herself back, the girl's black, shiny eyes looking at the growing void with horror. She slowly drew a small blade and prepared herself for battle.Protector of Graves   Creature - Human Cleric Soldier  Flash Cards in graveyards can't be exiled. 3/1 Drawing a knife against a canvas? How quaint. If it is a battle she desires, then it is a battle she shall be given. What better opponent than one's own shadow? Wretched Facsimile   Creature — Shapeshifter  You may have Wretched Facsimile enter the battlefield as a copy of a creature or planeswalker you don't control, except it has "   , Exile this permanent: Exile target permanent with the same name as this permanent." It wears your bleakest visage better than you ever could.0/0 Protector of Graves: I feel like hosing specifically graveyard exile effects feels counterintuitive to what hosing is meant to be. It also just rubs me wrong that this provides you protection against graveyard exile. I'd run this in a graveyard based deck any day for its effect. Especially since it has flash. 5/10.

I'm gonna activate Anne's +1 and -X (with X=1 for the latter), Gideon's +1, and Domri's +1. What a wondrous glow her blade has, the perfect hue to paint this picture. And such pristine poise! It would only be fair to respond in kind. She lunges accordingly, her hungering void of a blade consuming her light. Together the two form a mirror, imperfect only by the stains they call their blades. Will she seize her strike? Will she claim her blow? Will she survive? (In response to Anne's -X (which I assume happens before Gideon, if not then in response to Gideon), exiling Wretched Facsimile to exile Protector of Graves) Twofold Agony    Sorcery  As an additional cost to cast Twofold Agony, pay X life. Twofold Agony deals X damage to up to to two target creatures and/or planeswalkers. If a creature or planeswalker dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead. (My, my, we have unwelcome guests! Allow me to show them out the door. X equals 5, targeting Gideon, Champion of Justice and Domri Rade) Anne, Field Marshal: Rarity is missing but I am assuming she's mythic 'cause of 4 abilities. Being able to create a free blocker on a +1, especially when you get to use another ability, is stupidly powerful. Especially when she costs merely 4 mana. I like how you have the option to sac her immediately to get a ball lightning but the +1 is not great. 5/10.

I like how you have the option to sac her immediately to get a ball lightning but the +1 is not great. 5/10. Anne and her doppelganger clashed blades, their dance growing wilder and fiercer. As their fight reached an apex, Anne's actual shadow began to expand and grow more monstrous, showing the roil of emotions subdued under Anne's unemotional face. Self-doubt, horror, unease... a sense of not knowing if you're even the same anymore. Anne tried to push these thoughts from her mind and slammed the earth, a ghostly ant-girl emerging from a fissure.Anne's Blade-Echo     Creature - Insect Spirit  When ~ enters the battlefield, if it was sparked by an Anne planeswalker, it gains double strike until end of turn. Trample, haste, lifelink At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Anne's Blade-Echo. 4/1 I'm gonna +1 twice (EDIT: once, oops) and let Anne fully pay for her echo.
