Planeswalkers - Can you make a good one?

The soft lock post kinda recharged my interest in custom cards. And well I had thought about this, if you could make a planeswalker, what abilities would you give it? I tried a few times and I'm not all that good at it. But I did see a good one on mtgsalvation:

thats a pretty clever one, and got me thinking. What would other people make planeswalkers do.

So lets see your versions...

Keysam - that planewalker is an auto-win against a lot of control. It slips under permission and wins you the game on turn 4. :/

any way you play it, a well timed disruption (bounce/needle/etc) would totally wreck it.

Planeswalker 1UUGG

+2: Return target creature you control to it's owner's hand.

-X: Search your library for a creature card with converted mana X and put it into your hand.

-8: You put into play as many creature cards from your hand without paying their converted mana costs as you wish. Creatures put into play this turn gain haste.

@Craze you forgot you may play them without paying their mana coast. Other then that i like it very mutch.

@AVata Vs control it may win you the game but its very risky, the risk just getting it bounced or destroy is pretty high, i dont think its at all to good. The thing is its too risky cause it says (if you hold any bounce kill spell i lose). If you play any creature with power 2 i lose, if you play a creature with power 1 i probably also lose. (of course it depends on the control deck but what deck doesnt have an bounce spell or a cheap creature it can play or a planeswalker kill spell).

How about this:

Beowulf Warspeaker Cost: 1RR

+1: Target creature can't block this turn.

-1: Attacking creatures get +2/+0 until end of turn.

-6: Untap all creatures that attacked this turn. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase, followed by an additional main phase.

Starting loyalty: 4

Imagine how cool it would be if we could use all three abilities in the same turn! Wink
