Tibalt Chaosbringer
+1 : Each player discards a card at random and Tibalt, Chaosbringer deals each player equal to discarded card's converted mana cost.
-3 Target player reveals his or her hand. You choose nonland card from it. That player discard that card. Tibalt deals that player equal to discarded card's converted mana cost.
-4 Each player discards his or her hand and draws seven cards.
basic loyalty : 2
how do you think about this?
I thought Sorin slayed Tibalt? But if he's still alive, this card is an improvement.

-4 seems like a Jace move. I know it's a common red effect, but Tybalt needs some damage or other down side to the ultimate. Also -4 seems a bit easy for a 2 drop Walker. To make him playable he probably should be a 3 drop and -7 would be cool with a starting loyalty of 3 or 4. I just had a Tybalt discussion last night. We thought a cool take on the ultimate would be to do "-8: all players discard their hands. Put all creatures discarded this way onto the battlefield under your control. They gain haste. Exile them at the end of the combat phase"

Looks great but he can't minus on his first turn like most PW... That's my only complaint. Rest seems fine for Tibalt's standards

Wait, why is everyone misspelling Tibalt?
Anyways, according to his lore, he is all about pain and torture. I don't understand why his ult lets people draw cards. That's the opposite of painful.
Also, rarely does a planeswalker have two abilities that mechanically similar, so I would suggest making one of them different.
Anyways, since Tibalt is all about pain and torture, let's try to define those in magic terms:
Pain is probably making a player lose life or subtracting toughness from a creature
Torture is probably making people discard cards at random
So this is my suggestion taking all of this information into account:
Tibalt Chaosbringer 
Planeswalker - Tibalt
+1: Up to one target creature gets -0/-2 until end of turn.
-X: If you have X or fewer cards I your hand, each player discards X cards at random. Otherwise, each player discards a card.
-6: Each opponent discards his or her hand and loses life equal to twice the number of cards they discarded this way.
Loyalty: 3

That seems balanced. My phone autocorrects Tibalt to Tybalt. I never corrected it. Also, the original Tibalt took control of creatures, which explains my thinking with the ultimate I suggested.

That makes sense!
Also, I do like the Rise of the Dark Realms + Insurrection ability, but I don't think it fits for Tibalt, as his story says he could never get good at necromancy.

I had a Tybalt design previously and would like to know what you think
1RR
Tybalt, destructive force.
+1 deal 3 damage divided among creatures you control, deal three damage to target opponent.
-1 target creature gains +3/+0, trample and sacrifice this creature at the beginning of you end step.
-4 deal 5 damage to all creatures then deal damage to all opponents equal to the numbers of creatures that have been put into a graveyard this turn then all players sacrifice that many lands

omg so many comments! lol I think Tibalt's identity is hurt himself, randomness and 2 CMC PW. so i splashed B and makes him BR and gives him discarding effects. I designed this Tibalt can be used in BR aggro decks. BR aggro's hand spending is quite fast, so I put -4 to discard hand and draw 7 cards. but I read your comments and I think about new ult.
-5 : Each player discards his or her hand then draw seven minus discarded cards. then put all creature cards in hand to battlefield. It gains Haste and Deathtouch.
- actually -3 was originally -2. totally mistake. idk why I'm posted -3 instead of -2 lol.

higher base loyalty and cheaper first - abilities and it could be cool.
