Hello everyone,

The most haunting time of the year is upon us, and I would like to invite you to play some pranks with me. 👻
What do you guys think about putting together a little Frankenswalker (or Planenstein🤔 )?
The idea is very simple, we are going to build a Planeswalker together 😂
But how? Well, each one can make 1 comment with some part of this Planeswalker. It can be about a physical characteristic, personality, Plane of origin, life story, anything goes.
And when the clock strikes 11:59 pm on October 31st, we will enjoy our newest creation together (not literally, I sleep before 10:00 pm).
And since it's Halloween, nothing fairer than having some treats too, so everyone who helps me create our little Frankenswalker will receive 1x DMU Black Booster!

PS: please also vote for your favorite: Frankenswalker or Planenstein? For me, it's definitely Frankenswalker.

Happy Halloween,
Rebeca.

    Well, since its Frankenswalker then I believe the plane of origin should be Innistrad, so lets start from here

    Let's keep things literal. Since it's a Frankenswalker -- I much prefer this term to Planenstein -- let's have it be a zombie PW. I know PW don't formally get types in mtgpq, but it should be a zombie that another PW made and somehow infused with the PW spark. Like maybe Liliana had a magical day at the office or something. Or maybe the infinite universes converged and all the Liliana's from different times got together -- seriously, how many Liliana's are there now? -- and with the combined might of their power, they created a zombie PW.

    I think the better term would be chimera, since the monster you are referring to is named after it's creator, where a chimera is just a magical beast, but put together out of many things.

    It would be nice if it came from the Ravnica plane where it could have been friends with all of the undead things crawling around. Plus that would be the place that I would think something like this would come from.

    It would be cool if it were a zombie version of an existing planeswalker personality. Zombie Gideon or something like that...

    Make it a Sultai walker (blue/black/green), that would be a nice novelty.

    What about a jack-o'-lantern headed Planeswalker named Samhain that pulls an all hallows eve effect by putting all creatures in all graveyards directly onto the battlefield.

    Yes, I wanted to say that too!

    So instead I'll remark on the first pw power:
    Fertilize: put the first 5 different cards in your graveyard, then draw a card and convert 3 gems to green or black or blue.

    (can we please please have an i game PW made out of the results?)

    Second PW ability:
    Pick one of the next 4 cards in your library, fetch it and destroy the others. Then convert gems to your PW colors equal to the amount of cards in your graveyard up to 30

    You guys... it not a Frankenstein walker! We are the the Dr Frankenstein and the walker is our monster. Now that I'm done being pretentious, I just want it to be all colors, NOT colorless.... ALL colors with a little falvor of all colors in it. ^_^

    I vote frankenswalker. Created by liliana and is a pumpkin zombie. And third ability is
    Destroy all creatures and return the last creature from each graveyard with their reinforcements to the battlefield under your control and give them haste 😮

    Maybe a random creature from newest set is added to each players hand at the beginning of their turn. Sort of like a mass zombie uprising for All Hallows Eve.

    I wote for Frankenswalker and I imagine it would be all colours, because it would be made from parts of the creatures from each colour.
    His appearance should be something in the un-sets vibes where all things got mashed up together, preferably head being head of an angel (Akroma or Avacyn), left hand would be a tentacle, or merfolks hand with those skin membranes between the fingers, left leg could be a demon's leg with hoof, right leg could dragon's leg, and right arm could be a bear's claw. The body could be metal plated engine with some gears sticking out, or kaladesh style engine, so there would be all the colours of mtg represented in this one abomination.
    The abilities could be:
    6: Create trick or treat token for all card in your graveyard.
    15: Sacrifice all your creatures and supports, you gain life equal to 2x the number of white gems on the battlefield and the white permanents you sacrificed, opponent's cards in his hand cost x more where x equals to the number of blue gems plus the number of blue permanents you sacrificed, Your opponent lose x life, where x is number of black gems plus the number of black permanents you sacrificed, destroy x gems priorizing your opponent's colours where x is number of red gems plus the number of red permanents you sacrificed, gain x mana, where x is the number of green gems and green permanents you sacrificed and create x Jack-o'-lantern 1/1 artifact scarecrow token for each loyalty gem plus the number of colourless permanents you sacrificed.
    25: exile all creatures and supports, then return all non-spell cards from all graveyards and exiles to play under its owners control, then create x trick or treat tokens where x is the number of cards retuned this way.

    Frankenswalker definitely has a more cooler ring to it. Next to the walker, I would really like to see a second card that describes the creation of the Planeswalker Abomination (so not a Zombie or Chimera). I would like to see an Enchantment Saga that takes the players on a journey on how this walker was created. Episode 1: Discard a card, then draw two cards (Spend time on research and gain insight). Episode 2: Destroy all creatures. For each color among creatures destroyed this way, your mana bonus is increased by 1 for the next 3 turns. (Gather ingredients for the experiment) Episode 3: Put a token of Frankenswalker onto the battlefield under your control (the actual creation of the Planeswalker Abomination).

    I agree with this, though...
    But if anything, it should be Frankenwalker, not "FrankenSwalker".

    can it be zombajani?
    a) because a zombie lion is more interesting than another human one and...
    b) that damned lion never seems to die anyway so he might as well be an undead immortal... ;)
