  1. You shouldn't have to pay 10 life for anything that isn't a bomb. I think having to find a way to sacrifice him is enough for a cheap Planeswalker; maybe add "you may pay B (or something). If you do, return ~ to the battlefield and flip it" if you want.
  2. Planeswalker abilities work at sorcery speed; the only way to get the +1 ability to do anything is activate it during your main phase and then attack with whatever you targeted (or make it fight something that'd otherwise kill it, but yeah); you can't activate it in response, but somebody can aim a killcard at the creature in response to the ability, and the regeneration won't happen.
  3. I'm not sure you can sacrifice cards; you can sacrifice permanents, though. Also, kind of OP.

Just go on Gatherer, go on Advanced Search, and put Planeswalker into the Type box; it'll give you some examples to work from. You can also specify color or "put a creature token" or "regenerate" or whatnot.

Not sure how to cost it, but my best shot is-

Refuge Among the Dead 2[W/B][W/B]

Instant

Destroy all creatures you control. Return them to the battlefield under your control at the start of your next upkeep.

Essentially it's to let your creatures dodge a board wipe at the cost of given them summoning sickness.

Le sigh. Okay...

5 seems to be a pretty typical CMC for black planeswalkers, and the life/mana exchange rate is about 2:1 based on Phyrexian mana. I'll also assume setting up the sacrifice costs 2, like you said earlier.

Loyal Drudge - BB
Creature - Human Minion
If you sacrifice ~, you may pay 2 life. If you do, return it to the battlefield and transform it.
As long as they feel useful, they won't realise there's a reason you never remember their names.
1/1
(TRANSFORM)
Guilliam Timble, Retired Sacrifice
Planeswalker - Guilliam
+2: Discard a card. Put a 1/1 black Minion creature token with intimidate onto the battlefield.
-1: Creatures you control have deathtouch and lifelink until end of turn.
-X: Each player discards or sacrifices a total of X cards and permanents.
1

Also, because I realised this would make an amusing card on its own:

Hired Victim - 1B
Creature - Human Minion
If you sacrifice ~, you may pay two life. If you do, return it to the battlefield.
"You're not going to kill me. I'm more useful to you al-"
1/1

[up] Multiple instances of lifelink are redundant; you're gonna have to word it out. :/

[up]x3 I can see Hired Victim as a one-drop. I think; black's not my primary color. :| Actually nevermind, two's good. [tup]

EDIT: Planeswalker guy is okay now.

[up]Did not realize that rule had changed. Hopefully the new wording makes sense. Also gave it a neat spin where stealing it is mostly pointless.

(Can't think of a frigging name) 5
Enchantment Artifact
~ enters the battlefield with 7 proxy counters on it.
Remove a proxy counter from ~: You gain protection from target spell or ability targeting you until end of turn unless its controller pays 1. (You may activate this ability multiple times targeting the same spell or ability.)
"Yeah, good luck with that."

EDIT: [down] Dammit. Good thing I didn't make it cost 7. :|

Yep. 682, to be specific. Not sure if he'd also be black, or if I should've worked in something anti-human or something.

Nuclear Power Plant - 3
{T}: Add {3} to your mana pool.
When ~ is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put 2 -1/-1 counters on all creatures you control.
As long as ~ is in the graveyard, each non-Zombie, non-Skeleton creature you cast enters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.

Makes creatures with Undying nigh-indestructible. But only nigh, because they still have to visit the graveyard, and then they come back with jet lag. But still, undying.

Fixed it so it only applies to things you cast from your hand. Which fits with the whole 'dead things aren't affected by radiation poisoning' schtick.

Harmony Jewel - 0
Artifact
{T}:Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Target opponent gains control of ~ and untaps it.

Does getting a +1/+1 counter remove an existing -1/-1 counter? Because I'd always assumed that they were tracked separately.
