I have managed to piece together what seems like the start of creating a Karn Planeswalker. Here is what I've done so far. Based him off Karn, the great creator and Karn Scion of Urza Karn, Living Golem  (needs a better name?) Life 6 Attack 5 Defense 5 Movement 6 Range 1 Mastery of the Elements (Credit to AotpLotr) Before the game, roll a 20 sided die twice. The roll determines what colors Karn will be during the game. 1 to 4 -  5 to 8 -  9 to 12 -  13 to 16 -  17 to 20 -  Silver Artifact Whenever you Summon a squad, create a construct token with  and  equal to Karn’s life total/2 Copied Attributes Instead of your attack phase this turn, create a copy of target artifact on the board. This ability can only be used twice. Cost: 370 Size: Medium 5 Karn might need to come with some more artifacts/artifact creatures in order for his abilities to make sense. If someone has any ideas, it would be great if you shared them. |

Great ideas and great start! I had very similar design ideas but have gotten stuck. I'll share my thoughts and questions and hopefully it will help.
I view Karn as a pacifist so his attack stat wouldn't be very high. (His army would be doing all the attacking.) Depending on if "Mastery of the Elements" works before choosing your Army and Spell Deck. I would be ok with him being , since that limits his Army and Spell Deck, if his abilities account for that.
I would also have an ability to create construct creature tokens. Whether it is an activated ability or a triggered ability like yours.(I know they aren't constructs but you could use the Golems from the MtG Creature Forge token figures.) Thought on both approaches: - If triggered ability, I would max out on the number of squads, so that I could get the most out of the ability, which would be 2. Would need to clarify if this ability works with hero armies as well.
- If activated ability, it would be slow because you would have to switch between Karn to summon and the army to move and attack.
If glyphs count as artifacts then your "Copied Attributes" ability has more targets but you would have to clarify the range. |
