Created for Challenge # 126 because I saw Form of the Planeswalker and, while it's hilarious, I thought it was going to be something different...
The idea being you can use a sorcery with CMC 1 as a [+2], or a CMC 2 as a [+1]; something with CMC 3 or 4 as a [0] or [-1]; and something bigger as an ultimate.
An alternate form would be more precise, and have you search for cards with CMC 1, 3 and 5 and exile them, and then at the beginning of your upkeep, choose one --
● Copy the exiled card with CMC 1, cast the copy if able, and gain 3 life
● Copy the exiled card with CMC 3 and cast the copy if able
● Copy the exiled card with CMC 5, cast the copy if able, and lose 10 life.
Then you may cast the copy if able.
I like this. It's tons of fun.
This is inspiring me to get wily.
Oh yes, this is perfect. I loved the "gain 3 then lose N", that seemed fair but also open-ended. It captures the feel of being a planeswalker marvellously!
