Seriously though... Sometimes I contemplate buying a few dozen copies of him with the hope that in some unlikely future a card (if not multiple cards) will be printed that causes him to ne playable (if not broken) and spike up in value tenfold. I realize of course that this is highly improbable since very few mechanics have the potential to be good with him (madness, unearth, delve, flashback, nether shadow-esque cards, etc). I'll probably never take the gamble, but then again, who knows for certain if someday he'll magically creep his way into a decent deck list and become the unlikely build-around-me card for a new (decent/playable) archtype.
Anyhow, the best I can come up with myself is a game in the top 8 of a PTQ back during Urza block in which we were starting game 3 with time already expired, so the tiebreaker rule was that whoever had more life after 3 turns would win. And I lost to... healing salve.
Here's how you kill 4 tibalts in one turn (It has to be at least turn 5)
1. Play your first Tibalt
2. Use his +1 ability to discard your second tibalt
3. Play your third tibalt, killing the first one due to the legendary rule
4. Use the third tibalt's +1 to discard your fourth tibalt
5. Lightning Bolt the sole remaining tibalt
I have... one (Chandra Ablaze). It was when I first started playing Magic and I pulled it from a SOM/ZEN/I don't remember what set it was booster pack.
Since then, I've bought almost fifty booster packs and I haven't pulled any other planeswalkers. I've pulled quite the handful of mythics, but none of them were planeswalkers.

Now I realized I don't have that many walkers lol.
I opened a foil Sorin, Solemn Visitor at the Khans prerelease, so that made me happy. After that, the most recent planeswalker I got was Ral Zarek for my commander deck (only planeswalker single I ever bought). Planeswalkers I've gotten just from doing draft or sealed, or from my prize packs from draft or sealed events include:
Managed to pull a Liliana Vess from an M15 Fat Pack booster, other than that, the only planeswalkers I own are some Jace, Memory Adept that I purchased for a standard mill deck.
I have three JTMS, three Xenagos, and one Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker. Hoping to get three more Sarkhans, a Karn, a book promo Jace Beleren, and a Tamiyo.
Hey OP, If you want to get more planewalkers the Duel Decks are your ticket. I saw a few days ago the Jace vs Vraska Duel deck sitting on the shelf at WalMart there's also been many more PW vs PW duel decks and how I acquired most of mine, but I had really good luck pulling them out of boosters and Fat packs as I usually buy a fat pack and 5-10 packs of each new set...
I have at least two each of all of them, aside from Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Karn Liberated, and with the exception of the ones I have from duel decks (at one time I had 8x each from Ajani vs. Nikki) and a single Domri Rade, I have pulled them all from packs.
...actually, I just remembered I only have one each of Kiorra, the Crashing Wave and Nissa, Woldwaker so far. I also have not cracked any packs of nor bought any singles from KTK yet.
I only own two right now, but I could easily trade for more. Oddly enough, though, the only two I have are both Ajanis - Ajani Vengeant and Ajani Steadfast.
My friend just bought a fat pack and pulled two Sarkhan, the Dragonspeakers. He gave both of them to me.

Obtained in that order (got Ajani and Jace in the same prerelease box, but opened Ajani first). So...to answer the original question, six.
(Pulled three 'walkers from M15 packs, and none of them were the money ones. Ah well.)
Sorrin Markov
Elspeth Sun's Champion
Liliana Vess
so just 4. I did have a Tezzeret Agent of Bolas but I traded that away a long time ago.
