Something we haven't done yet...

Study - At the beginning of your upkeep, any opponent may discard a card. If a player does, tap [NAME] and exile a card face down, you may put that card into your hand at the beginning of your next upkeep.

Exile a card from where.

Top card of your library. That's an important bit of information.

[Dudecore]

Barrier - Whenever [NAME] becomes the target of a spell or ability, you may counter it. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay X, where X is the converted mana cost of spells and abilities countered this way. Sacrifice [NAME] and take X damage until you pay the Barrier cost.

Well it's multi-fold:

A) it is an Instant life saver. If you really need an extra turn to win, you can reveal your hand to your opponent - gain enough life to survive.

B) The retention quality means you can carry it with you all game without having to discard it. Drawback is your opponent may see it too.

C) it benefits retention. If you've got 14 cards in hand - 7 regular and 7 with retention - well, you're gonna reveal em anyway. You can get 14 life. Or show the whole thing for 28.

D) it could be used politically in commander. "You wanna stay alive longer? Show us all of your cards."

E) Uncommon rarity - this set needs some decent/bad limited cards right? Not everything can be OP.

Point of Retention is to be able to play with your maximum hand size. If you're under 7, you don't have to reveal it. If you're over 7 you can still mask it by discarding another card you don't need. If you're over 7, then you can keep it but the drawback is your opponent knows what you have.

The point of the reveal is also keeping players from cheating. It's the same reason tutors ({Enlightened Tutor}) make you reveal, so that players know you're telling the truth about which card you searched for.

Flavor wise, cards in hand are equivalent to spells you (the Planeswalker) know. So being able to know a bunch more spells then others, but also sharing your spellbook.

It's a "cards in hand matter" mechanic. Creatures can be designed to get buffs for cards in hand, or a threshold for cards in hand, spells can be buffed - and the Planeswalker can concern itself with cards in hand.

Ok now I get it, I thought you hand to reveal it all the time.  It needs a better explanation though.  Maybe something like...

Retention - If you have more cards in your hand than the maximum hand size, instead of discarding a card, you may reveal this card instead, when you reveal it this way, this card no longer counts toward your maximum hand size until the next upkeep.

[Dudecore]

Yeah that works. I'm not good with rules and such, I just have ideas - and try to base them off existing, similarly worded ideas.

Cool, please ANYBODY decrease the words in the ability if possible.  It's a bit wordy...

The end has come, for the plane storyline vote!  The winner is Flicker.  Now we must determine what plane shall be created in order to continue, or which plane to return to.  Thoughts?

Have fun guys!

Retention - if you would discard this card you may reveal it instead, if you do your maximum hand size is increased by one this turn.

Clearer wording and has more in game applications this way.
