What Devour 1 should really read is;
- Devour +1
But I don't know how to add loyalty symbols on MTG Design

Every idea in this thread is amazing. 0 loyalty planeswalker is great, and a one that would turn against you at -1 would make the game so, so fun. Such an awesome and creative bunch on here : )

Maybe an artifact that says “when a PW has zero or less loyalty, put it into play under random opponents control.” That would force players to treat their planeswalker-pets with a little more respect and caution. Flavor-wise, there’s a problem with “I just beat Jayce to a pulp with a 7/7 pitlord, so now he wants to be on my team”... so, that would need addressing somehow. Maybe it only triggers when you activate it to zero..? I dunno. I just want to punish people for using planeswalkers. ;p

For starters: I love the name and flavor. 10/10. Your mention of a zero loyalty PW got me thinking. Granted, as a person who generally doesn’t like PWs, my thoughts should be taken with a grain of salt. What if you had a PW that didn’t leave when there was zero loyalty... but actually started fighting against you; fully become anti-loyal. Wouldn’t that be awesome?! Counter your spells, drain your life, eat your creatures... lots of options. I think this could very easily be misused (as is the tradition of magic) so maybe it would be better to pass control over to a random opponent and give it loyalty equal to however much mana they could pay (or something similar). Or just give them the option of taking control, and let them decline the option and let it go to the GY. Lots of options... probably worthy of its own thread, assuming it hasn’t already happened. :P
