So here is my attempt at Garruk, did not see the first entry, but i think it shoud be fine. My pursuit was to picture the even darker version of Garruk, even darker than the Apex Predator.
The Planeswalker: The Transformation: The Tutor: The Uncommon: The Common:
In general i wanted to make use of a decay theme, combined with a corruption of Garruks old abilities. I adapted the transform theme from the Veil Cursed, because i wanted to cover the same idea but more extreme.
The Shaman of the Dark Covens was designed to adapt to the "mental state" of Garruk when he is around.
@Platypusburger I know that it just rolled that way. That is why I did not make any signs of gender in the flavor text and stuff like that. It's like a boat. People call boats "she" when they are genderless.
@LyndonF Why is Jace's name Berrim? I would be interested in some backstory. I like Multiform Illusion a lot. It has an interesting interaction with the illusion ability. And for Revealing Denial, I suggest making it cheaper - ordinary decks have 24 lands, that means it won't work in 2 of 5 cases on average, and I'm not even counting all the cards that can be cheaper.
Okay, the deadline has come, so it's time for me to make some decisions with my life!
First, the award for best original planeswalker goes to... (drumroll)... @AustinSmith , for Garruk, Darkness Consumed!
There were a surprising number of Garruk entries, but this one was my favorite! It's strong, but fair in my eyes, and reads like a Garruk, Apex predator that I might actually get to play.
And secondly, the award for best overall submission goes to @Flatfish , for his Koth series!
For me, this series was a slam dunk in all the areas I was looking for, including balance and commitment to the Planeswalker's themes (since nothing is more Kothy than an unhealthy love of Mountains)! Your walker, Koth, Defiant Earthshaper, was also a strong contender for the best original Planeswalker award!
Congratulations to both of our winners! You win boundless adoration and five likes each from me, whenever you ask!

Should his second be a [-1]?
Apparently you can't edit walkers...
The "Tutor" *
The uncommon Creature
The common Spell *
*Note: The Spell card types are "Ashiok" to make them interact with the planeswalker's abilities.

The rare search card with the added benefit of perhaps gaining life.

Thanks for @Flatfish for the tip. Fixed the text such that it read "less than" instead of "larger than" so it's easier to work.
@TastyCheez , clearly I'm refering to the terrors of the night, and nothing silly like ponies. That would just be nonsense.
@Flatfish , Berrim was an alias that Jace used during his first Planeswalk to Ravnica. Here's the story article, if you're curious.
