Along with the wolves and Angels, the elementals and hydras are enraged at human and demon encroachment upon their lands in Dialum. This is the RG walker.

erabel: Thank you for the grammar fixes. Unfortunately, there isn't enough space on card smith to write the whole wording for Doubling Season. Since I own a Mac, most other card sites aren't available, so that's as close as I could get.

I'm 90% sure an elemental like that can't hold a spark. There is some debate whether the Lorwyn flame-kins can hold a spark, but there aren't really any planeswalkers that are non-humanoid. And bolas doesn't count b/c he's a Dragon and dragons > Humans.
Also he seems...underwhelming. The Ultimate isn't even something they would use today, as Doubling Season can't be reprinted because of its interactions with planeswalkers.

JWiley129: In my set, the only other thing that could really be a walker for RG would be a dragon, I guess. That's really sad cuz I liked that art.
As for the ult, I could shift it to +1/+1 counters since that's the theme of RG in my set.

I think a more heavy ramp planeswalker should be more interesting... somewhere along the lines of "-X: untap X lands" instead of removal

You could make the first ability more like Xenagos, the Reveler
+2: Add X mana in any combination of red and/or greeb to your mana pool, where X is the number of basic lands you control.

I just have to say that when I saw "Artax" I thought of this, and it gave me sad feels:

vomdur: I had considered that initially. I had switched it to RG because he was going to be a 2CMC walker, and I changed my mind. That could work, though.
meecht: I apologize for giving you the sad feels. I actually don't know the reference, which is slightly embarrassing.

@buildingadeck - It's from the movie The Neverending Story.
The story follows a young hero, Atreyu, as he tries to save his world from destruction, and with him on his journey is his companion and loved horse, Artax.
At one point they enter the Swamps of Sadness, which cause any who succumb to its effect (sadness/despair) to be swallowed by the swamp. Artax begins to sink into the swamp and Atreyu tries in vain to save him.

Wording:
+2: needs to either be "Add two mana of any one color" or "Add two mana in any combination of colors", depending on what you wanted here.
-7: Just copy the second line of Doubling Season. You're missing a good chunk of the formatting.
