Low CMC Planeswalkers.
Looking through all the planeswalkers wizards has created i realized that all of them except for Tibalt had a CMC of at least three. So that is exactly what my challenge is about.
Create a planeswalker with a CMC lower than three, it can be a new version of a actual planeswalker or a completely new character. The planeswalker can be in any colors and fit any type of play style. The cards will be judged based on their balance and how fun they look to play with/against. Each cardsmith may enter up to two planeswalkers to be judged. Entries will be judged on the 14th of May.
First place will get 4 favorites and constructive criticism on 2 cards of their choice.
Second place will get 3 favorites and constructive criticism on 1 card,
Third will get 2 favorites.
Here's a not amazing example of what i'm looking for (http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/nathix-the-insane?list=user)

@Flatfish That is fine, i will accept cards made for this challenge or cards made early and reused for it.
Don't know if his last ability should have been a higher cost, but I'm going to leave it

I didn't read the entries, but keep in mind this is a challenge even Wizards think it's terribly hard, so be careful on balancing

Cute little guy
@ningyounk I do remember Mark Rosewater talking about that in Twenty Years, Twenty Lessons and that is part of why i thought it would make a cool contest. While i agree that balancing a two or one CMC planeswalker is very hard and that Wizards may ever realease one it can still be fun to try and to see other peoples attempts.
@Crimson The point of this contest was to make a planeswalker with a CMC of 2 or less. While Crimson looks fine as he is, his mana cost is too high to qualify for this contest.
dunno if too op...

Nithar and Nithana were born on the same day, on an unknown plane. They were twins, with Nithar being about 2 minutes older. Their father had left their mother before they were born, and a short time after they were born, their mother died. The two siblings lived with an old wizard named tercano, that taught them the ways of magic. When they were ready, the chose their element for starting their path as a wizard. They wished to protect the people of their village. Nithar always led to fighting when there was a dispute. He would always hang out around the volcano southeast of their home, to calm down. When he chose his element, he chose fire. Nithana however, was just the opposite. She would always go swimming when she wanted to get away from everything. She once even thought that she could hear the water speak. She chose water, with no doubt about her decision. They both went their separate ways to become a great wizard. Two years after their departure, they came home to each other. They showed the other their skills. But, they also found tercano's grave near the house they lived in. They decided to work together to protect their town, and that's when their sparks ignited. With that power, they could protect everyone in need.

To clarify, you may just ignore mana costs

Planeswalker-Kylee
whenever you cast a spell that targets a creature you control, you may pay 1, if you do, put a loyalty counter on Kylee, the Starsinger
+1: look at the top five cards of your library. reveal a creature or enchantment card from among them and put it into your hand. put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
-5: creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of enchantments you control. all enchantments you control become X/X creatures until end of turn, where X is the number of non-enchantment creatures you control.
starting loyalty: 2
designed around a green enchantment style of play. probably needs a lot of tweaking. (shout out to @Corwinnn so he can translate this idea to a card.) feedback would be liked.

I had to make major modifications, since each ability has a max of 145 characters (including spaces)
