ok I'll make the tweaks. Thanks.
All very good points.
I'm thinking of upping the number of lands that the second ability untaps to two or maybe swap it to untapping a creature instead.
I will drop shroud from the tokens and up the cost by a little.
Also what are peoples thoughts on the semi-flexible casting option route I've taken? I liked the cards from the alara block that had a mix of colored and hybrid mana so I'll be trying to do more of that.
A Staggershock that deals 5 on the rebound rather than 2? For
at mythic, that's probably fair.
Very similar to Jace Beleren. But better in almost every way, which is a bit of a problem because the 3-mana Jace is a very, very good card. The +2 is Jace's +2 (who would ever untap a land rather than draw a card?). The +1 is Jace's -1, but occasionally better, and gaining loyalty rather than losing it. And the ultimate is... incredibly good, perhaps a bit too game-winning good for a 3-mana walker with a +2.
That said, there's a lot to like here too. The Coiling Oracle ability is incredibly popular and a fine ability for a walker - it's just that it's pure card advantage so it really shouldn't be a + ability on a 3-mana walker. And the swarm of flying tokens is a great planeswalker ultimate. I do like that it only counts basic lands, which should do interesting things to tournament decks' mana bases.
I'd say: make the +1 a -1 instead (either that or the cost of this lady will have to go up by about 2). Remove the untap a land option from the +2 because it's pitifully bad compared to drawing a card - either that or change it up a bit, such as maybe letting people drop a land from hand onto the battlefield. Remove the shroud from the tokens, because when there's a huge swarm of tokens it doesn't matter if the opponent targets one or two of them. Change the hybrid in the cost into a (1) because there's no real difference except it's tidier that way. And maybe make the tokens 2/2s rather than 3/3s, though I'm not so sure on that.
I definitely like the idea of a Simic Coiling Oracle take on Jace, so I think this has a lot of potential.
Yep, I reckon I agree with everything Vitenka said there. Excellent core idea for a mythic, just bring the cost down and remove a word from the type line.
Probably doesn't need to cost eight. For reasons of space, probably shouldn't be an artifact... Other than that; a stompy flying withering Raise Dead stick? Sounds like a fine mythic.
