Planeswalkers Flipping Out
Planeswalkers are cool, but you know what is cooler? A planeswalker with 2 sides! Your job is to make me a double-sided planeswalker card. The card can be a legendary creature that has its spark ignite, or a regular planeswalker with something else going on, like Garruk or Arlinn Kord.
Entries will be based on flavor, how good/balanced the card is, and a couple of other factors.
Rules:
No OP cards. They have to be balanced.
The planeswalker must have 2 sides
Realistic cards (No joke cards)
3 cards per person
Prizes:
1st place: Follow, 3 likes of your choice
2nd place: Follow, 2 likes of your choice
3rd place: Follow, 1 like of your choice

Here's one of Arlinn Kord that I made.

@TigerFang8 I actually saw that guy on the "These planes were made for walking" challenge just a little bit ago.

Now a few things to clarify. Yes I did intentionally put converted mana cost on both cards, because you can have either half of the transforming pair enter the battlefield when you cast it.
It sucks that cardsmith doesn't let you add mana symbols to planeswalker abilities, otherwise both middle abilities would look nicer.
Yes despite the fact they're both multicolor, I opted for using Red and Blue respectively instead of Gold; purely artistic choice.
The whole duality of this one is izzet control, using stun or burn effects to control the board or giving you that extra mana to cast your spells. The best control effects are obviously their ultimate abilities, they're a bit on the lower loyalty cost and are a tad underwhelming on their own, but the idea is to help stack these abilities on an opponent.
I wanted to go for something rare in magic, and wanted something like Elbrus the Binding Blade / Withengar Unbound. The planeswalker was originally going to be black (and generate Horror creatures), but after some forced rewording of the planewalker abilities due to character limits felt that Blue (and Illusions) was a better fit. On the whispering axe in the comments you can still see my original plans for what I wanted the planeswalker to be.
Also luckily I was able to cram in some flavor text on the bottom, wish planeswalkers could have some too.
It also says, "Whenever a creature's death is caused by Noremi..." It should say, "Whenever a creature dealt damage by Noremi dies this turn..."
Sorry, I'm really anal-retentive about this sort of stuff
Actually the other proposed version also has an error. If you don't do it as follows you have to track all creatures damaged by Noremi the whole game.

Victor Hale was a planeswalker from the rapidly developing plane of Devonia. He discovered his talent for nature as a teenager. Hale learned from Nimi'Tzi, a powerful mage from the Kiroka, a tribe that had peacefully coexisted with the Devonians. Victor, after years of training, could make a tiny weed grow into an enormous sequoia.
However, Franz, an artificer who Hale was best friends with, accidentally shot Hale with a warper gun. The gun caused Victor to age forty years, but it also caused his spark to ignite and it prevented Victor from aging - he was stuck as a sixty-year-old man.
After Victor planeswalked to the plane of La'akea, he fell in love with a man named Ipolo, who tended a grove filled with all sorts of wondrous plants. Ipolo and Victor could make incredible things happen.
Later, after Victor went back to Devonia, a planar crash caused a plane called Fronteria to be "sutured" east of Devonia. When Victor tried to planeswalk to Fronteria, his spark was corrupted and he was stuck on Fronteria forevermore.
Now, Victor Hale plots to escape his planar prison.
