I love that my favorite PW in Magic--Kaya, Ghost Assassin--not only fits into Aminatou's colors, but also works really well with her Ultimate. In fact, Aminatou's 2nd ability can also be used to blink Kaya, if you wanted to use a different one of Kaya's abilities that turn. I'm excited for Aminatou, for sure.
because killing your own creature to watch it eat a removal spell is bad
It can target itself. A 3/2 with Menace for 2B with that ability is still good.
A marginally superior Boggart Brute doesnt seem very good
I wouldn't say marginally superior. For a tribe that thrives on recursion and sacrifice as potential avenues of mechanical advantage, the ability can be quite relevant depending on your deck. Also, the way in which you respond seems very defensive and ill-directed. You said: "because killing your own creature to watch it eat a removal spell is bad". I respond with: "It can target itself. A 3/2 with Menace for 2B with that ability is still good." Your follow-up is: "A marginally superiorBoggart Brute doesnt seem very good". Relating your two arguments against this card in any logical manner just means you are going to just say whatever to put the card down. You don't like it? That's fine. At least learn to stay in a lane. Switching lanes to demean a card doesn't add any validity to your arguments.
With R'kadi, I was trying to find out if there was a way to make an actual 1 cmc planeswalker that isn't inherently broken. The idea is that once you play R'kadi, you can in no way target and sacrifice him. Only your opponents can interact with him. He is designed to be strong, but with a huge downside once he reaches critical mass.
Istvan, Ill-Remembered
Again, this is an attempt at a planeswalker that your opponents have a bit more control over. He is supposed to be a spectral representation of Uncle Istvan from the Dark. The idea is that an opponent can Hymn themselves in order to destroy him. He is most-likely far too powerful, but I am interested to see what thoughts others have about him. I had briefly thought about making him cost BB and only requiring a single discard. Would that be more fair? How much would it affect his playability.
Aenni, Nourishing Sprite
Aenni was a trial if what could make a green planeswalker different enough than current green planeswalkers, still on color, and fairly strong at a low cmc. What ideas would you suggest in making this more playable. She is meant to be a ramp card, through-and-through.
Let me know what you think of these cards. What do you like? What do you not like?
This seems fun, but having tested a lot of decks using legendary sorceries, I don't think having only 6 legends in the deck is going to be consistent enough, especially for having 4 copies of KTS. I often found 7 - 9 to be the playable minimum, especially considering sans Karn/Tatyova, there's not card draw in your deck. You might even want to try to fit in a couple of Memorial to Genius.
Yeah, other PWs have made flying tokens (one not mentioned yet is Sorin, Solemn Visitor), but this is the first PW that makes flying tokens while gaining loyalty. I think...
The power of booleans comes to the rescue.
I searched Rules Text = flying, and Card Type = Planeswalker in gatherer.
Of the nine planeswalkers that came up, none have a + that creates flyers. The closes is Sarkhan,the Dragonspeaker that becomes a flyer.
I like this card. I know it's not great...but I like it. I made top 4 of every tournament during Ravnica standard with Shrieking Grotesque. This card is a tier worse, but it's close enough for me.
Thinking that in my Monoblack midrange deck, I could side out the Ravenous Chupacabras for these vs control games 2 and 3.
Chromium’s ability is awful. I understand it’s flavor related, but yikes is that garbage. Its static stuff is fine at least. m
I disagree. In some scenarios its ability is better than Nezahal's, as it only costs 1 card, and thus you can use it multiple times if need be. It's often not worth it to discard six cards to have Nezahal dodge a spell, and being disallowed hurts. With Chromium, if you Disallow the trigger, he just discards another card.

Isn't it obvious? Sai, Master Thopterist thopter tribal!
I want to use it on Aether Vial and Champion of the Parish just to be cheeky. Also going to try it against Monored and Wizard Burn in Standard.

It's alright, but you only get 1 bat out of the deal. At least with Scrapheap you get two, one for the removal and 1 for the reanimation.
