See Challenge # 150. This was partially inspired by Plane Shifter.
I went through multiple iterations of the wording for the first sentence of the ultimate in an attempt to fit the card draw ability. The "new player" will probably be at a disadvantage coming into the game on turn 10+.
Somehow I created this in the wrong set.
I wonder if "That player can't be attacked" would be a better advantage. After all, with the other player(s) in the game hopefully having established themselves by the time you hit the ultimate, it may be a struggle to keep your second self around to accomplish anything meaningful.
A note for my self (because when I look back at planeswalkers months/years later, I often find I've forgotten my original concept of them): Echron is a Cloudwalker planeswalker who manipulates time. His ultimate is meant to flavorfully represent him helping you bring in a version of yourself from a different time in your life to aid you.
Drawing extra cards became"can't be attacked"
First and second abilities now target to synergize with ultimate. Ultimate cost down to 7.
Bwahaha! That ultimate! It's Fraternal Exultation in... well, I was going to say black border, but perhaps gold border. The most ridiculous Three Card Blind games I ever adjudicated were thanks to Fraternal Exultation, in the terrifyingly capable hands of SadisticMystic.
I had to look up both Fraternal Exaltation and Three Card Blind. 😅
This is intended to be a black border card, albeit an extremely bizarre one. I realize that it's probably not feasible, though.
