As someone who collects Planeswalkers, (and plays them), I could use some acceleration cards. By acceleration I mean in terms of both lowering mana cost and boosting loyalty counters. I'm not sure what's out there and exactly what card types I should be searching. About the only accelerator cards I have are Oath of Ajani and the one Planeswalker I know of that can accelerate: Ajani Unyielding
Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'm not terribly concerned about format legality, I have Modern,Standard, and a few Commander only Planeswalkers, I even have the only un-Planeswalker: Urza, Academy Headmaster
Thus I've got practically every format covered. (Except maybe Legacy/Vintage since Planeswalkers didn't exist in pre-Modern sets)
Since you're using Un-cards, you can play Magical Hacker to allow your planeswalkers to ultimate right away while granting a huge Loyalty boost. Also, combo Magical Hacker with Devoted Druid to speed out your planeswalkers.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Since boardwipes and defense cards also cost mana you need the unlowered mana available anyway. In my Atraxa deck, I try to use flash effects and mana drain etc to create opportunities to get them into play AND have mana to protect them. Also, if you have a Planeswalker out and they leave it alive for one turn, EOT Worldly Tutor for Deepglow Skate, untap draw, ultimate is a surefire way to victory.
Urza's Ruinous Blast is a fantastic card for a superfriends deck, since all pw's are legendary now

Doubling Season, Gilder Bairn, Deepglow Skate. Note that Doubling Season doesn't effect loyalty abilities because a cost is not an effect.
Oath of Gideon boosts loyalty, Oath of Teferi doubles ability uses, The Chain Veil has a similar effect but can be untapped and reused, Oath of Nissa fixes planeswalker casting mana.
I think that covers it? There's Teferi, Temporal Archmage's emblem, and Ajani, Mentor of Heroes pseudotutors for planeswalkers, Ajani Steadfast puts loyalty counters on others... Deploy the Gatewatch just plain cheats them out.

Blood Funnel (if you sacrifice a creature to prevent your 'walker getting countered), Council of the Absolute (for a single named 'walker), the Medallion cycle (Pearl Medallion, etc.), Grand Arbiter Augustin IV (for blue and/or white 'walkers), Hardened Berserker, Helm of Awakening, Herald of Kozilek (for colorless 'walkers), Locket of Yesterdays (if you're playing a format where you can have duplicates of a 'walker), the Familiar cycle (Sunscape Familiar, etc.), Seal of the Guildpact (for 2 colors' worth of 'walkers), Semblance Avnil (need to exile a 'walker from your hand first), Stone Calendar, The Immortal Sun, and Urza's Filter (for multicolored 'walkers) are all capable of making Planeswalkers cheaper to cast.
Thran Temporal Gateway can put a 'walker directly onto the battlefield from your hand for 4.

There's always normal ramp cards like Rampant Growth, mana dorks like Birds of Paradise, or mana rocks like Sol Ring to play any card faster, not just PWs.
Standard: BG Golgari Midrange
Modern: U Merfolk GWUBR 5 Color Humans UBW Esper Gifts GW Bogles
[180 classic cube]
You forgot cost reducers like Stormscape Familiar and Semblance Anvil.
There's also The Chain Veil so you can activate + abilities twice per turn. And it goes infinite with Tezzeret the Seeker and Xenagos, the Reveler.
