Pirrius the Self-stalked2WU
Legendary Planeswalker- Pirrius
When Pirrius, the Self-stalked enters the battlefield, target opponent creates a token copy of it, except it is Black, its planeswalker type is Shadow, and named "Shadow-Walker." That token doesn't have this ability.
+1: Each player draws two cards, then puts two cards from their hand on the bottom of their library.
+0: Detain target nonland permanent.

Interesting. Basically the plan is to play this then take down the copy to make sure you get the ability only. I kinda like it, but haven't put a ton of thought into it honestly.
This ties the game making infinite planeswalkers as soon as it hits the field. Opponent gets a token copy, which triggers so you get a token copy, etc.

The fix you put in works, but isn't "When this etbs, if it's not a token, do x" a more common way to do this?
Anyway, I like the design here. Definitely a unique card, and I for one would like see more weird PW spells like this. I want to say it's underpowered, but it probably isn't? Detain is a mechanic that I see people rarely play with so it's hard to evaluate, but I feel it's underrated.

Added an extra line to fix that

Maybe. Shortening the wording on it would be very important if this were to be a real card, I think, but I'll sacrifice that to avoid the stress of it
