For Challenge # 016

I decided the best way to make a 1-drop planewalker was to try to make an entertaining one, hence five johnny effects, but since they're reusuable, they may actually get some use.

I'm not sure how abusable they are, it's possible they need to be restricted a bit. I simplified them a lot to reduce the word count (eg. spell not spell or permanent, no choice on land types, etc, etc).

And I took advantage of the mythic status to leave out a lot of reminder text (changes to permanent spells persist to the permanent they become, other changes don't persist across zones; lands with basic land types can tap for those colours of mana; the usual reminders about changing colour words works in rules text but not on effects or names, etc.)

Unfortunately, because you can't activate his abilities at instant speed, his first and last abilities are useless. I'm also pretty sure his second ability is very good.

Doh! Should be "next", but there's not room for it. Yeah, I feel silly, I always forget this on planeswalkers...

The -1 doesn't look too good to me. It's using your one-drop as a non-cantrip Elsewhere Flask, or as an every-other-turn Joiner Adept, either of which seems okay for 1 mana.
