Other than the static, this is *very* similar to Garruk, Unleashed. The static is fun and the condition on removing counters rather than adding is new, but not quite groundbreaking.

I'm just not in for planeswalkers as attackable enchantments -- the idea has certainly come up before, but to me they just don't feel like they have any agency. I admit that Teyo is a good choice for this, as someone whose ability set is not very proactive, but it still doesn't sit right with me. Also, white definitely doesn't get "can't be countered" -- it's supposed to be that green gets it on creatures, red on spells, and blue on anything.

A little bit of Oko, Thief of Crowns vibes here, which would be worrying, except that the +1 is way less busted and it's a 4-mana walker. The main thing that worries me is that the ultimate is so easy to get to -- especially for a 'walker that can be your commander, that's very risky since this only has to survive one turn cycle to be able to turn all your artifacts into pingers forever.

It feels like Garruk all right, and a unique one at that - we saw Garruk a lot of times but not the "prepare a creature for hunt" kind of flavor. I like it, I just wish the static ability wasn't so wordy.

I LOVE ascend - and on a planeswaker it feels very fresh. Defending a planeswalker until you can ascend can create a mini game that intrigues me. All the abilities feels like something Hautli could do.

Looks like a solid, not ground breaking red planeswalker. I do like the change of pace from the standard "I use fire/lightning" red planeswalkers that are the go-to in designing planeswalkers.
