Goku is too fast and strong for any of the named character to beat. I think he's probably considered hexproof too because he regularly dodges fireballs. I don't think any of the summoned creatures can actually beat him in a fight, since he can just blow them up. Even indestructible ones, he can just pummel into the ground where they can't move, or push them into the ocean or something.
Well, the Eldrazi destroys world willy nilly. Pre-mending Bolas shouldn't have any problems.

Pre-mending Nicol Bolas. His very presence apparently was able to destroy planes without large amounts of red, blue, and black mana. Also, Yawgmoth as the immortal death cloud of doom, death, and plane-eating destruction could probably kill him.

This is very important. IMO, appart from possibly the Eldrazi/Bolas, I don't see anything/anyone post mending beating him. Pre Mending, planeswalkers have a good chance due to their immortality (I don't see goku sticking in finger in their brain to continuously scramble it).
I'd say Jace and/or Sorin could do it, due to having mind control magic. Just gain control of his mind and have him tear himself apart from the inside out with his billions and billions of energy. Teferi could probably also do something like strand him outside of time indefinitely, which I would count as a victory.

This is the same problem as Charles Xavier has. Goku's speed exceeds most's thinknig speed. Sure mind control magic could work on him. I think if the fight started as "fight to the death, go!" they would be dead before being able to. It's the equivalent of the guy who can convince anyone of anything in 5 minutes of discussion vs the trigger happy enemy. I'm totally sure if given 5 free minutes, the first guy would win, but "realistically" I think the speed beats it.
Goku is also not the brightest, and extremely moral. He's NOT "trigger-happy". He's not going to just straight kill someone because he's told to, and he can definitely be talked to, mislead, or reasoned with to buy time enough to dispatch him with mind or time magic.
Also, if we're going to assume both sides start from nothing, Goku needs a lot of time to power up. If we're assuming that both sides come in completely prepared, Jace has a slew of illusions ready to mislead Goku for long enough to let the mind control take hold.

I agree that if it's one of those "let see if we actually dislike each other" where they spend the first while conversing, and if the other has malicious intentions from the start then it can be done. Goku's powering up is iffy. He's shown only to need it when it works with the plot (duh lol) but the transition from manga to anime kinda makes it a bit screwy. It's why anime always looks like it's 90% talking, 10% fighting, see: Talking is a free action.. The anime powerup takes a long time because you need to have the speech go along with it. Otherwise, people would just interrupt each other from powering up.
In addition, when base goku can lift 400+++ tons without powering up, I'm pretty sure for people of regular toughness, he wouldn't need to.
Pre-mending planeswalkers have enough power: Bolas, Urza etc. Yawgmoth has enough power. The Eldrazi brood lineages have enough power to meet and exceed Goku. There are options and Goku isn't unbeatable by any means.
For this contest we're using the strongest Goku that ever existed. And yes he is faster than people can think, so before Jace can even think of killing him, Goku would have either punched him in the face, or thrown a fireball at him. At that point someone like Jace can either concentrate on dodging the fireball, or eat it in the fact and die. As far as I can tell, planeswalkers have NOT shown to have Goku levels of strength, speed or endurance.
Unless, you know, there are contingency style spells in place in which case nothing in Goku's toolkit can handle that.
Spells don't need to be instant and sorceries. what if Jace simply had a few propaganda style effects on him? What if he is pops some sort of intangibility effect at the start of the fight? There are all kinds of ways to make this fight not really a fight.
Hell, if it came down to it, any given planeswalker could just walk away, load themselves up on insane enchantments from a dozen worlds, and come for Goku in his sleep. Plenty of characters have shown a level of ruthlessness in magic that Goku has never exhibited.
Much like batman, without plot armor (holy *****, at one point there is an entire plot based around time travel to save his life) Goku isn't all that impressive. Great character to watch, but plot convenience is key to his story.
Basically, any character capable of casting any of the Sudden spells can defeat goku. They have split second and, therefore, should not be able to be dodged. They literally happen instantaneous and a few of them don't even require targeting a creature, ie aiming, so sudden spoiling turns goku (and all his friends) into a 0/2, or in other words, all the doubling of his various super saiyan forms means nothing and I don't know how long a turn lasts in reality, but unlike a card game, I'm pretty sure that a walker could just recast it before it wears off.
Goku is a fighter, strong and fast, but the more unique abilities present in mtg completely blank him in the same way a solitary confinement blanks creature decks

You can't just cherry pick rules that suit you to win any argument, you sound like one of those marvel fanboys. What if we go by the "Planeswalkers need mana to cast spells" by the time draw mana, they're already dead. I agree about the ruthlessness, but I don't find fights where the outcome is "Team A goes all out where as Team B doesn't so team A wins." What if they wanted to win equally hard? Eldrazi vs Goku trying to save the world would be a good fight. Goku hugging a kitten while Jace tries to fry his brain for w/e reason isn't.
Plus I seriously don't think any post mending planeswalker can stand a chance vs goku, assuming we aren't pulling the "But he'll give them a chance, like he did with frieza." or "Goku isn't aware that the other is about to attack him."
I see the powering up for super saiyan forms to be roughly analagous to needing mana for things, but the costs of spells is mostly a gameplay mechanic thing for us the players and shouldn't be indicative of what a walker themselves needs to do particular since a walker has an internal energy source.
And it isn't so much that "team A goes out where as team B doesn't", but the fact that Goku wants to fight strong opponents and routinely lets them power up. Goku doesn't really strike first. He fights to defend himself, the world, his friends, whatever. This makes him vulnerable when there isn't plot armor protecting him.
And, well, you mentioned frieza. Goku has a history of letting people take their best shot. It just so happens that when Jace takes his best shot goku doesnt stand a chance
I don't recall anyone in the story casting a "sudden_" anything. That seems more like a game mechanic than an actual lore relevant spell, kind of like cycling. Otherwise all story Planeswalkers encounters would end with who can cast sudden spoiling/seizing first. How much faster than a lightning bolt can you get anyway?
I see Goku as being faster than anything in the MTG universe probably anything the walkers have ever encountered, he can literally instantly traverse between planets/dimensions(to Namek or Kai's world for example). Jace could say teleport him to another plane, then turn around and eat a punch to the face because he is not prepared for someone like Goku, since he's never encountered anyone with his speed.
As for the "Goku won't fight" argument. The same goes for the walkers. As far as they're concerned, Goku's just a average human. Chandra will probably throw a bolt at him, turn around and get kicked in the head at light speed. If anything the walkers would be the ones underestimating Goku, and when they realize their mistake, it would be too late.
on phone, but from the Japanese lore his story is influenced by that's part of the same universe. His senses don't allow him to truly sense another plane of existence. As to the sudden mechanics, why wouldn't the spells in mtg not be indicative of what is possible in the lore? In games with stories the power of abilities is turned up in the fluff not down.
Oh, also, whichever walker casts a story circle just kind of wins. Any sort of prevention spells without a camp just kinds of wrecks goku

I agree that he could beat newwalkers. Oldwalkers however would be much harder to kill.
If we're talking about "anyone" in the Magic universe, how about Progenitus or True-Name Nemesis? How would protection from everything or from a player translate into the fight between them and Goku?
In the first case, would we need to figure out whether Goku is colored or colorless and then go from there? And in the second case, since it's planeswalkers being compared to Goku and planeswalkers are players (flavor-wise), would Goku just be considered a player for purposes of protection from a player?

Well, anything CAN happen in the lore. Nissa could very well meet Sorin one day and say "Glimpse Of Nature. Elf, elf ,elf, elf, elf, elf, elf...Cradle, Natural Order into 2xCraterhoof. You dead". But that's obviously not very likely to happen, because alot of that is game mechanic that doesn't carry over to the lore. Same with the "sudden" spells.
As for the prevention spell theory, that would work if they knew in advance what kind of a threat Goku was. Otherwise why would they bother tutoring up Story Circle? Another thing is if it's that simple to just straight become invincible, every white walker would be doing it in every battle. Elspeth would be like "Hydra? Alrite time for Story Circle" "Xenagos? Time for story circle". They don't do it because it's not as simple as just saying "Story circle, la la la now I'm invincible". This is another game mechanic spell that doesn't carry over (well) into lore.

Prognitus is not indestructible. For example I'm pretty sure Jokulahoups and Obliterate still kills him. Something Goku is easily capable of.

So, you would name Akira Toriyama as the player or Goku for the nemesis. As for Progenitus, isn't Buu the perfect example? Impervious from anything and then... bam! The will and life force from the whole universe hits Buu in the face. This might also happen to Progenitus (except his own force, since he's the soul of the world in the MTG lore), what if Goku hit Progenitus with something as powerfull as the entire multiverse? Guess what, Eldrazi will also fall because of that, no one wants the eldrazi and wants them either sealed or destroyed.

Obviously its not a matter of a writer typing prose out in one of the books, that'd be ridiculous. What I'm saying is that when it comes from a flavor perspective that in games with ongoinging stories parallel to the card game universe themselves its the card game that has the restrictive version of the mechanics while the lore versions tend towards being significantly more powerful, flexible, etc since they don't need to conform to game balance.
There is also the consideration of plot when it comes to the stories. Goku being stronger than his opponent at the start and just blowing him out of the water makes for a terrible story. Jace prepping a time stop, walking into the dimension someone is in, enslaving them while time is literally stopped, and then winning immediately is narratively boring. A simple damage prevention spell, or again, intangibility or anything that simply stops physical stuff from happening stops the majority of what Goku can do. Goku simply has no recourse to the vast majority of what magic can do in the mtg universe. It's boring as *****, but its a simple matter of a walker doing one of any number of things to make themselves impervious, undetectable, or simply on another plane of reality and striking at will.
The reason that the cheese solution isn't used is not because it wouldn't be effective, but because it would make for a bad story. It's the same reason Goku gets destroyed by superman and shazam and every other set of characters that are significantly more powerful than him. Goku is a character with a very specific powerset that only works because of the story set up around him. It is limited and the entire point of every arc is pretty much "goku's strong, but someone is stronger, can goku get stronger? YES!, but now someone stronger is here" Without the plot armor of the books, his linear approach and the weakness that comes from that is very apparent.
I think Goku would fair better than some are giving him credit for; I think he'd crush most or all of the new walkers.
And I think there is a fair chance he'd do ok against the Eldrazi. Not entirely sure he'd win, but I'd probably favour him.
But I think he would get clearly and utterly smashed by the old walkers, yawgmoth etc. It'd depend a little on the exact nature of the conflict; if he got the drop on them he might have a slight chance.
But pre-time Urza destroys universes, so if both are prepared Goku is completely toast.
