Had two ideas on how to represent Lazav's shtick as a planewalker. Put them on the same card for ease of posting
(Third idea was planeswalker-changeling, but that does basically nothing)
Planeswalker changeling would do a lot if a certain upcoming mechanic wouldn't restrict itself to tokens...
Well, it turns on all those uncommon cards from the discontinued planeswalker decks e. g. Vraska's Conquistador or Historian of Zhalfir...
I feel the emblem could lose searching the library. It's wordy and the reasonable hoop of milling yourself or getting the planeswalker cards otherwise in place allows some variance in how exactly the ultimate works out. It sounds more fun even if most often you just have a plan for a finisher ultimate.
I feel the emblem has a stronger argument for a "non-Lazav" restriction than the -1. After all just duplicating the emblem with the emblem is not the most interesting thing.
Good point on the tutoring. I can lean into the graveyard part of lazav's identity
I was worried about chaining the -1, since it lets you keep activating the ability. I didn't think it mattered that you can stack the emblem, since that doesn't accomplish anything. Most often you're just grabbing some other walker's ult to win the game
