Card Create Challange: GOBLINS FOR THE WIN

Hi everyone. Im here to talk about an interesting creature type of MTG: Goblins.

First of all... whats a Goblin?? A Goblin is a cheap (in converted mana cost) card, have a great power, a horrible toughness and effects that help a lot each other (like Goblin Chieftain and Goblin Lookout)

A Goblin can be the worst card in the Mtg like Goblin Rock Sled or can make the best strategy deck like Goblin Lackey or Warren Instigator.

Recently i saw a really nice way to use the goblins. Lets imagine i have two goblin's tokens in the battlefield (Dragon Fodder), a Goblin Guide and a Goblin King; to i get the maximum benefit of Goblin King's effect i can use the Bazaar Trader and give the opponent a mountain; then...CABOOM you win.

I mean, there are lots of spells that help goblins like Goblin War Strike , Goblin Grenade and Shared Animosity. But the enchantment that i most like is Goblin Caves; why someone created that card?? If enchanted land is a mountain goblins get +0/+2 so the opponent can cancel that effect with Spreading Seas...how sad.

But in the other hand goblins cant win everything, like elf decks it can be simple destroyed with Earthquake and Pyroclasm

And the challange im making here is to you create a Planeswalker that helps Goblins like Nissa Revane with the elfs :D

Furt the Ascended - :manar::manar:
Planeswalker - Furt (Mythic Rare)
+1: Put a 1/1 red Goblin creature token onto the battlefield.
-1: Furt the Ascended deals damage equal to the number of Goblins you control to target creature or player.
-3: Until end of turn, Goblin creatures you control gain haste and get +X/+0, where X is the number of Goblins you control.

The lowest mana cost of any planeswalker ever--but also the lowest starting loyalty. Still, it can work.

Wow, nice planeswalker you've created JDCyrus. It was really cool because you used the characteristics of the goblins (Low Converted mana cost, a Rubbish toughness and effects that help other goblins)

+2 - search your deck for any 1/1 goblin creature, and put it into your hand

-5 - All of your goblin cards have trample, double strike, haste, +3,+3, reach, swamp walk, sacrifice to do 1 damage to target creature or player and fear untill the end of the game

Slightly bigger than Furt The Ascended, but hopefully worth it.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXYYYY!!!!:D

there are rules for planeswalkers. you have to cost at least four and there is a 2 turn to ultimate, except for a select few (Jace and Elspeth) and some others. be careful when making a planeswalker. in M10 the 4 costers arent that amazing. in zendikar the 5 costers were okay in a pinch and the 1 6 coster (sorin) is never used.

I understand what you mean JDCyrus, the ultimate effect is greatly exaggerated, but I think that what really counts is the fun.
