    It's suspicious that he has the same mana cost as old one but his first ability has +2 couters and long text meanwhile the old one has +3 counters and short text. It's a new one

    Dear reader,
    welcome to this thread.

    I create it because I want to share the set I have made. I can't finish this set because of some conditions, but I want that my work wouldn't disapperar. I hope that you will use this material with benefit, as you want. If you wish, you can take cards, mechanics, plot ideas - anything from this set for yourself. I also will be glad if you want to finish this set alone or in team. Enjoy!

    Some plot ideas. Maybe they are nonsense. Also I know English not very good, so some of word constructions could be uncorrectly, but I hope that you can understand the meaning of this text.
    After Elspeth's death there were some changes in Theros. Heliod gone mad and became the God of Dictatorship instead of God of Order (he still mono-white). Entering the paranoia, he was afraid that someone mortal will kill him like Elspeth killed Xenagos, so he took actions. In response, Akros officialy stoped worhipping to Heliod as God of Sun, Order etc, so Heliod shifted Anax from Akroan throne. (how?)
    By the time, Ajani isn't himself. He's wailing the Elspeth, and also he's afraid of changes in Theros. He met the group of fanatical Heliod's pilgrims from Setessa and after squabble about Elspeth attacks it. After battle, he consults with his old friend, Lanathos. He calms Ajani and gives him the answers. Ajani decides to revenge Heliod for Elspeth's killing. He urges Akroan people and leonins to begin the war agains Heliod and his Setessian followers.
    By the hime in Underworld Elspeth refuses to wear the golden mask. Erebos lets her go (why?)
    [PLOT HOLE]
    Dack meets the other planeswalkers (Ajani, Elspeth, Gideon) and explains them true enemy - Ashiok. They enter the battle with him. Ashiok wins, he shows each planeswalker their nightmares and fo brings them down. Gideon's seeing death of his band, Dack - massacre in Drakentown, Ajani something his own, and Elspeth - phyrexians. In the series of fevered visions, she notice some details that she haven't seen nor in Mirrodin, nor in her birthplane. She understandes that it's Ashiok's nigmtmares. He entered the Theros to find the power to save or revenge for his half-corrupted world. Elspeth promises her help and Ashiok goes away from Theros. She found her new aim - Vendetta to Phyrexia

    It's functional, because it transforms with cards like "transform target permanent", because its back face is very powerful
