Surprise I'm judging
chetoos - I get the Commodore Guff feel from this card, but I don't see any white in it. If anything this effect is
UR. It also takes up a lot of time, fwiw - I feel like it would get annoying after overstaying its welcome (like, well, Commodore Guff).
Krishnath - High-effort! These are all pw concepts that represent character types that mostly don't exist in Magic yet, so, good job, that justifies their existence. A fairytale Snow Queen 'walker would be cool, although Tulan feels a bit like Ashiok. Quick card comments - Thordan's Sparkmage needs rewording (and I'd have it just be "on a planeswalker you control" because drinking buddies can be any color). Snowdrift Behemoth is slightly color-bendy but looks fine. Void Hound isn't all that compelling to me - having nonkeyworded ingest specifically throws me without any context. Without that triggered ability I think the card would be a lot more elegant. Nightwalker's Trickery - has a slightly odd effect; why creatures
or enchantments? I'd make this "permanent spell" and move on.
Juancu - Very strange. Very
innovative. On Sakem, I've designed the "Creature using +1/+1 counters to activate outside loyalty abilities" thing before, as have quite a few people I'm sure, but this is a good way to make sure it doesn't get broken. Minat's Nexus is especially intriguing. I have many questions that I actually don't want answered because the mystery here is fun. One thing is for sure - these are definitely some DIFFERENT planeswalkers than we've seen, and I like that a lot.
spacemonaut - I apologize, first off, for making you feel alienated. That's never my intention - MTGNexus Custom Cards is for everyone and you're a valuable part of it - there's a lot of prior-site history embedded in this thread but I will be conscious of not having too much "you had to be there"-ism here. In any event -
Goreclaw, Planeswalker! I won't like, that's difficult to wrap my head around at least. Would it be fun, though? Absolutely. I love the flavor of Bear's Apprentice - it's hilarious and badass - and I like the design, but it's undercosted for sure; at base it distributes two counters and if it's throwing around three or more then three mana is definitely too cheap even if there is setup involved.
Ink-Treader - This is nicely-designed, but - well, it's bland. It's got conditional nonkeyworded flashback, which is just fine as a planeswalker bonus, but it's not lighting a fire under me, y'know? Would be a fine planeswalker deck uncommon (and yes, bring back planeswalker decks), but the other issue I have here is knowing nothing about Giterre other than what's on this card, I'd rather this just be a Calix-related card and have a new Calix card.
Megiddo - I thought initially this might be a character from an outside media franchise - an anime or video game - but it doesn't seem that way? Normally designs like this from the World's Biggest Suda51 Fan are in fact a vidya reference but Googling turned up nothing, so I assume this is an original character idea. Putting aside the
One Fumiko Limit, she feels, I have to say, a lot like Ashiok. I'm not sure what's up flavorfully with the transform ability, but having an unpronounceable name and a
purple color indicator are both creative and baffling. As a design, it works fine though!
Juancu - These are, in a way, even more baffling than your prior entries even though they let on a lot more about the planeswalkers in question, oddly enough. Voyd is a pretty neat idea but probably too parasitic - but it's a lot more elegant than your earlier versions of this design. Remorseless Servant is an interesting templating experiment, but I'm not sure how it would play - I'm gonna go with "strangely".
