Vraska, Relic Seeker

A six-loyalty planeswalker that asks one question on entry: do you want a board or do you want an answer? The plus builds a clock out of menace-evading Pirate tokens, growing both her loyalty and the pressure she applies, while the minus three is the rare planeswalker removal mode that hits across three permanent types and hands you a Treasure for the trouble, smoothing the next play or fixing a stubborn color in a Golgari shell that always wants both. That Treasure is the tell about her design lineage: she belongs to a vein of midrange planeswalkers built to grind rather than spike, replacing the card she spent and accelerating the deck a half-step forward. The ultimate is the closer the rest of the kit defers to. Setting a life total to 1 does not win on its own, but a board of Pirates and a minus three already pointed at the opponent's blockers turns that 1 into a death sentence on the following turn. The minus ten is steep enough that you usually win through attrition before you reach it, which is the point: she is a value engine first and an execution button second. The split between defending herself with bodies and pointing those bodies at the opponent is what makes her feel like a Golgari card rather than a generically good one, equally comfortable stabilizing a board or ending a stalled one.
