Valdis, Master of Mayhem Show

Legendary Planeswalker - Valdis

+1 Create a 1/1 black and red Devil creature token with “When this creature dies, it deals 1 damage to any target.”

-3 The owner of target permanent shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it’s a permanent card, they put it onto the battlefield.

-8 Each player shuffles all permanents they own into their library, then reveals that many cards from the top of their library. Each player puts all artifact, creature, and land cards revealed this way onto the battlefield, then does the same for enchantment cards, then puts all cards revealed this way that weren’t put onto the battlefield on the bottom of their library.

Valdis, Master of Mayhem can be your commander.

This is an idea for a Demonic Planeswalker Commander, for a Rakdos Chaos EDH deck. I tried not to design it like Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip but rather to random what happened, through the previous chaos cards that were printed. As always, I am open to improvements or better ideas and opinions. It should be said that I haven't really had any experience with chaos cards, but I really wanted to make a card for this character that suits him. So I really hope for your help here in the forum.

To say a little about the character:

He is a man obsessed with war and madness. He draws his strength from a cult that worships and sacrifices itself for him. With this energy he has created an intermediate world in which only war and chaos rule and what is constantly changing. In this intermediate world live demons, devils and soldiers mutated into demonic beings, whom he sends from portals to every part of worlds in order to let them perish in war and madness. To illustrate, imagine a mixture of Khorne (Warhammer) and Rakdos (Magic the Gathering).

I relly like this design. The +1 is fine protection, maybe even a little boring. Then again, both the -3 and the -8 are pretty exact copies of pretty wordy spells, so you might actually get a space problem if the -1 were wordier.

I'm less worried about the space, I always try to have a picture of the card in Magic Set Editor. I'm just very unsure whether the effects fit that way or whether there aren't way better effects that show what it can do.

+1 You may sacrifice a creature. If you do, create a 3/3 black and red Devil Mutant creature token with “When this creature dies, it deals 3 damage to any target.”

-3 Creatures you control gain haste. Whenever a creature die this turn, the owner of that creature shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it’s a creature card, they put it onto the battlefield.

-8 You get an emblem with “Whenever a creature die, exile it and bring at back onto the battlefield under your control."

This idea just came to me, but I don't know if the loyalty and mana costs are right, what do you think of that?

-8 is a bit wordy but otherwise I really dig it

The -8 of the old or the new idea?

How about you have opponents reveal the top card of their deck and have all creatures assign combat damage to each other (distributed according to the controllers preferences) and then any surviving creatures come into play under your control (with damage still on them). That way the opponents can work together to not let you have any creatures, or follow-up to kill it, while Valdis gets a dose of combat for his pleasure?
