I like the direction this card is going, but if anyone has some opinions or advice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hm. A 1-turn suspended Diabolic Tutor seems a bit good for 2 mana. By which I mean, +3 seems a bit too much loyalty to gain on a 2-drop planeswalker.

Detain isn't an evergreen mechanic, so it'll confuse people to not have reminder text on it here. (Even Lavinia of the Tenth - a rare in a later set of the block - had reminder text for detain on her.)

But nonetheless, this looks like it's got a better shot of being a fair-but-good 2-mana 'walker than Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded did.

by Vitenka:

Huh, they keyworded the green 'snipe' ability? Into blue-white? Who knew.

And yeah, 2 mana, remove all the counters from a creature and and then tutor for anything AND gain a chunk of life? Yow that's nice.

But, well, it's less nice than just "Control all the creature and win the game" so sure, wghatever, go for it. The official game balance for planeswalkers seems to be "Who cares? Go gonzo."

Yeah, even Diabolic Tutor costs 4 mana. Waiting two turns for the ultimate on this card seems fairer.
