DERPLINGSUPREME I like that but with whites boardwipe, -8 seems to low. Maybe like -15 because that is massive and it's just gonna get his loyalty back up by allowing you to destroy more creatures. xD

point enough. still, to get there his abilities need to be better. maybe make the first one a +1 or a 0? Idk.

I would make the first ability +1, so his ultimate while very costly is manageable and if you get it off can easily win a game on its own. Maybe this is too OP and I'm just stupid but it seems pretty solid to me.

I feel as though flavorwise he's off. White mana for a guardian of souls seems perfect, but the fact that he is pumped from the death of creatures seems more of a Grim Reaper type of deal, i.e. Black. Also, the fact that he is colorless seems to be random. I understand going for the Aethery silvery mist vibe, but colorless seems out of place. I never like it when a planeswalker has only minuses. Never. Even a 0 and I would like him, but I cant accept him because he is so suicidal. This also seems counterintuitive as he guards the dead, he isnt ment to die by his own hand or hurt himself. Any Who, I feel like he could gain loyalty via +1 or +2 rather than that passive. Maybe something like this:
+1 or +2: Tap target creature, it doesnt untap during its controller's untap step. Gain 3 life.
I feel this is much better flavorwise, like he is holding these souls at some sort of pearly gates, and isnt that bad. Next, his minuses. Seeing as he guides these souls, maybe a tutor? Say...
-X: Search your library for a Creature - Spirit card with converted mana cost X or less and put it onto the battlefield tapped
He is guiding the souls to where they need to be. In other words, your battlefield. And since he is the soul dude...spirits. Finally, an ultimante. Something like him damning the souls to hell. Exile. Say...
-20: Exile all graveyards and any number of target creatures on the battlefield.
I know Im completley trying to reinvent this guy, but with no proper backstory and just a name I feel he is all over the place flavorwise and playabilitywise he is just bad. Thats just me though.

Honestly, I don't know what you could do to make it better but this card just seems really underwhelming to me.
