Is this too tribal a planeswalker? I don't want something like Nissa Revane, especially since this isn't a tribal set.
Ah. You don't? It is most definitely a tribal planeswalker. If the +1 and the -1 were swapped, it wouldn't have to be, because then "+1 for a while, then -10" would be viable even with no Daleks in your deck. With it as it is, the +1 is useless, so it'll just be used as a poor approximation to Garruk Wildspeaker's Beast-making mode. (Or rather, it'll be a flavourful master of the Dalek deck.)
switched abilities
life loss -> damage
I came up with this card early on in my creation of this set. I've left it in for the flavor. Switching the first two abilities makes it a much better fit, plus shows the flavor better.
In retrospect, I don't know why Davros is a planeswalker, not simply a legendary creature. I don't think he ever did anything analogous to planeswalking. Dalek Caan, on the other hand 'walked into the Time War to rescue Davros. Maybe Caan should be the planeswalker.
