I liked them both... a lot.
Otherwise I really like them
I intended for this card to affect cards such as Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, who have abilities that say 'cards exiled with [this card]...' Does it serve this purpose?
A while back I created my first idea of a Shapeshifter Planeswalker, and after some thought I created this.
Focusing on his ability to become other Planeswalkers and that being the manner by which he builds loyalty counters. Plays into the whole shapeshifter mentality more than the first version I made, and the first ability is very Gideon-ish but chose Shroud instead of Indestructible like Gideon has so that you can't boost him with your spells as well as granting him marginal protection as well as Shroud fits a black and blue color scheme than indestructible does.
The second ability as stated is really where you build loyalty counters as you can copy other Planeswalkers and use their abilities to build up.
The ultimate is a pretty big bomb in some cases and therefore deserves to be somewhat difficult to attain. Thought about including the Evil Twin mechanic, but alas there is not enough room to include it.
Any comments of balance and mechanics as well as overall thoughts on it would be greatly appreciated
Too powerful? I'd imagine anyone who doesn't run any exile or is unable to bounce the token will have a terrible day dealing with him.
That's a really cool idea. However, if that planeswalker becomes a copy of another planeswalker, he loses all of his original loyalty abilities. So you can never activate his [-8]. Also I think [-8] ability's wording is "For each creature your opponents control, create a token that's a copy of it except it's a Shapeshifter in addition to its other types."
@Damnation
Yeah probably it should cost more. I think it's too good in control decks with board wipe cards. I like the idea, but if it was simply a transform mechanic card, it might be less confusing.
@TenebrisNemo
Interesting card. Strange part is that you get poison when you buy it, not when you bite it. And probably it's a color pie break, but I don't care about that so much because I enjoy the concept.
If this was my card,
--------
Taste the Apple {b}
Sorcery
Buyback- Sacrifice a permanent.
Add {b}{b}{b}, then flip three coins. For each flip you lose, you get two poison counters.
--------
Jast a flash thought. I'm not sure about the balance. It's probably better to say lose 3 life instead of get two poison counters, but poison counters are more flavorful.
EDIT: Ok card fixed.
I'll have to agree with you on that. There were a lot of things I thought about when I made it, but for the sake of mythicness (or brokenness, if you want to take it with a grain of salt), I tacked on an extra point of toughness and deathtouch, which is probably the most attractive thing about him, aside from the self-reanimation, if you ask me.
But yeah, it might be confusing because of the Haunt, which can definitely cause memory issues, but, out of curiosity, how would you include transforming at the exclusion of haunt? I assume you would exchange the two paragraphs of text with a single line along the lines of "When ~ dies, transform it."?
@TenebrisNemo, three poison counters rarely matter for a Storm deck. Although I love the concept, it still is too broken.
@Sanjaya666, Foegod's lack of phyrexian mana, mismatched borders, and 10+ abilities is most disturbing. Get yourself together!
Thoughts?

Where are the goddamn emotes anyway?
Haha, I'm not going to argue that. In a dedicated deck, you may as well just sac Khatan when they decide to throw removal at it. I'm just playing around w/ Haunt for now. I've had a creative block for now so I'm just toiling away, home brewing D&D material.
Lol I didn't realize the infinite loop. It needs "You can't sacrifice Khatan, Banished Hierarch to cast spells or activate abilities" then.
If I make it transform card..
"If Khatan, Banished Hierarch would die, transform it instead."
..or..
"When Khatan, Banished Hierarch dies, return it to the battlefield transformed."
I was thinking a mix of Angel of Jubilation and Sigarda, Host of Herons : "You can't sacrifice Khatan, Banished Hierarch to cast spells or activate abilities, and spells and abilities you control can't cause you to sacrifice Khatan."
The first half is what you suggested, and the second half is for anyone running abilities that trigger sacrifice outside of costs - i.e. Braids, Contamination, Demonic Taskmaster, Fleshbag Marauder, Reign of the Pit, etc., though you'd have to brew a pretty janky deck for that. I also thought about "Protection from Khatan's controller", but that just sounds funny.
Also, what would the other half of the transform look like? I assume it be a different Khatan (arguably not a human) instead of a generic spirit like I did.
If I simply change your original card to a transform mechanic card, it would be like this;
-Front side-
Deathtouch, lifelink
You can't sacrifice Khatan, Banished Hierarch to cast spells or activate abilities.
When Khatan, Banished Hierarch dies, return it to the battlefield transformed.
[2/3]
-Flip side-
Flying
When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield transformed.
[1/1]
If I would add more abilities to the flip side, it would be something that interacts with your life and/or creature cards in your opponent's graveyard, because front side has lifelink and deathtouch. For example.. "{2}, Pay 2 life: This creature gains all activated abilities of target creature card in a graveyard until end of turn."
And yeah I thought about ", and spells and abilities you control can't cause you to sacrifice Khatan." part too, but I don't think it's necessary. There are many cards that can return from your graveyard like Bloodghast.
From the new Netflix film The Titan
Wording should be:
Each player that picked the winner, exiles the
top card of their library. Until your next turn,
players may play the card they exiled this way
without paying its mana cost.
I'll wait for other suggestions before I remake!

Yeah, you are allowed to say bestowed.
I'm trying to start a Dark Souls themed set. Do you guys think that this is too much flavour and too little function? Any help is much appreciated!
