Urza might be another choice for red or black
No. Urza is all five colours and super powerful.
Urza seems black/red to me, as he was super obsessed with revenge

So they make a five colour Planeswalker? Maybe two of each colour?

If urza was a walker his abilities would be

+300 you win the game
0 each other player loses the game
-1 you win all games of magic the gathering in the past present and future.

Still dies to {Hero's Downfall}. Or counterspells. Or anything really.

Cant be countered, indestructible, un-exilable, if anyone even for a second thinks about Urza you win the game.

Pre-Mending Planeswalkers were like gods. Sorin created {Avacyn, Angel of Hope} and countless other things during this time. Wizards decided (and for good reasons) that all-powerful, immortal, omniscient god characters aren't all that interesting for story telling. So they had everyone's power diminished (Sorin) and older godlike people (Urza) removed.

That way when some force opposes them (Eldrazi/Phyrexians/Xenagos) it is more satisfying when they win. You know, a basic character arc. Characters like Urza are just too strong storywise that printing them would do them no justice unless they were crazy overpowered. Urza is cool to us because he was so powerful, I don't know if I'd even want a card with him on it

{Sorin Markov} is a badass and he's in card, satisfyingly so in my book.

I always thought Jaya was Chandra before her spark.

Also not a serious thought but wouldn't it be cool if DRS {Deathrite Shahman} was a PW Commander

Spikepit

How about Ludevic, as in {Ludevic's Test Subject}? He's worth a print.

If they can make a Bolas PW why not anybody else. Bolas is suppose to be the all powerful walker.

Bolas lost 25,000 years of knowledge and significant amount of powers. {Nicol Bolas} is hardly a good representation of what a pre-Mending planeswalker would have been like.

True true. The Teferi card isn't an all powerful walker so anything is possible. Also Jodah was never a walker.
I'd like to see Lord Windgrace or a  {Skyship Weatherlight} PW card for shits a giggles

Dudecore

Jodah as part of the other Legendary creature from Magic's past that never got a card cycle. The alt commander to Teferi

What about Geralf?

I know we have {Geralf's messenger} and {Geralf's mindcrusher}

And the new black legend chick mentions him!?

I really want to know who or what he is!?

Problem is he and Gisa basically do the same thing, story-wise.  They both make Zambies.

As for Planeswalker commanders...  Give me Freyalise in Green, Serra in White, Jaya or Slobad in Red and Sifa in Black and I'll buy all of them for Old-Walker Goodness.
