Elder Dragons of Dominia
Hello all!
This is my first contest and I was scrolling around when I saw the OLD Elder Dragons and thought, "I wonder what's the next thing Wizards will do with those guys." So I then thought, "Why does Wizards have to decide? You guys can!". Anyway, some general flavor information can be found here: http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Nicol_Bolas
The contest will to create a specific Elder Dragon (which looks cooler than these ones) as a creature and/or planeswalker. Keep to the same colors and feel as the originals. Besides that, no restrictions!
Here is a list of all 5 Elder Dragons to choose from:
Chromium: http://goo.gl/sEv6dW
Arcades Sabboth: http://goo.gl/sPWkNV
Nicol Bolas: http://goo.gl/r7rwY9
Palladia-Mors: http://goo.gl/lzt9Th
Vaevictis Asmadi: http://goo.gl/RsF8vx
Closing Date is TBD.... Good luck!

They each have the same artist, but they didn't have Nicol Bolas, so I had to do without him. Each of the Elder Dragons have a CMC of 7, are tricolored, have flying and a power and toughness of 5, and have an ability that triggers when they or another dragon you control enters the battlefield that belongs to their respective main color. i.e. Chromium Rhuell, Reborn lets you fetch a Dragon and put it into your hand, being blue, and Vaevictus Asmadi is basiscally a reprint of Scourge of Valkas, being red.

The rule is to make one of the five Elder Dragons, not an original of your own design.
Also, we don't have canonical proof that the other four Elder Dragons are dead. I think you mean the five Primevals of Dominaria during the Phyrexian Invasion, save Chromium Rhuell. Anyway, in one of the old comics, Bolas says his peers are dead, but we don't exactly know what his peers are - the other four Elder Dragons, or other powerful Planeswalkerss, such as Ugin.
Another thing. We don't have any proof about who was the first Planeswalker - we don't even know who was the first planeswalker - so Ullabesz would need canonical proof, in the form of a book, or WoTC R&D's word just like the Elder Dragons. Even then, Bolas is the oldest Planeswalker we know of, and it has support from the Alara Unbroken book by Doug Beyer, where Bolas attempts to reclaim his 25,000 years of knowledge, which is a huge timespan.
