A one-drop planeswalker: is it feasible?
Hee. I think it should be feasible, and will probably happen someday. This one might be a little bit too weak though. Absent any multi-pingers and suchlike, this will take 3 turns to have any impact on the board at all. I think "[+1]: You gain 1 life" or "[+1]: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to [you/target creature] this turn" would be a little better.
As is often the case, I was afraid of making him too good.
Changed first ability entirely, and cost of second.
As a one-drop, I purposefully made him dependent on creatures for growth. Four-drop planeswalkers have shown themselves to be powerful enough that I'm scared of what a one-drop could do.
I guess that's fair enough.
