Sucks to here about a Planeswalker killing creature. But, it's good to know that those of us who didn't collect all of the planeswalker might be able to hose those who did, ha!
I'm not liking a PW killer either. I haven't made a deck that takes full advantage of PW abilities yet, but to me they seem a little weak in that they start out with so few loyalty and are so vulnerable to direct damage, at least the few times I have used them that has been the case. Now there is a card that sacrifises itself to kill a PW? It had better be something like "Tap: Sacrifice PW Killer and 3 other creatures you control, send target PW to the graveyard." at the very least.
I think this is a "destroy target PERMENANT" rather than specifying "target creature" used for so long. Much like Planar Cleansing was news as the only card to destroy all non-land PERMENANTS rather than just creatures, artifacts, & enchantments, like usual, and at this point is the only card in Standard that can take out any planeswalkers. (OK I ran accross a few much older cards that attack specific color Permenants or Cards but those were really old and specific like Blue/Red Elemental Blasts and rules changes might have undid the written effect)

I like the way he reprised the Duelist-style cryptic clues. the creature that "sacrifices to make a planeswalker go to the graveyard" could equally be a big green or white creature that can sacrifice to "destroy target permanent", or a small black one that can mimic Entomb... all those sentences are very twisty indeed. ;F the 14/1 creature token reminds me of Shapeshifter - maybe there's a way you can generate a token with fifteen points to split between power and toughness. i'm not all that interested in Planechase and I found M10 calculated to be packed at the rare slot and uninspiring elsewhere - I hope Zendikar is a return to proper set design. Mark headed my favourite set - Visions - so I still have plenty of reasons to be hopeful.

Hmm what can i say? PLANECHASE feels like its rebooted the whole magic franchise... fun, flavour based strategy and a bit of luck, and collectible stuff you can build around.. honestly i feel that M10 does feel somewhat like ABU, sticking to its roots of classical fantasy monsters and boring colours, and that Zendikar is Arabian Nights Part Deux in the new millenium... very exotic, very interesting can't wait for the new sets to come out! with hopefully planeswalkers stories and a definite storyline to hold onto (no more one set one plane loose cannon stories MaRo!!)

A creature that can sacrifice itself to make a planeswalker go to the graveyard.
I bet it's a functional reprint of Mogg Fanatic.

I can't believe we went for two weeks without the fora, only to have it result in this. It's incredibly ugly, my nice theme is gone, and the only thing the previous forum was missing (a button that does CARD tags) is STILL missing. MaRo, I had a comment for you, but fighting with the new forum has caused me to completely forget it. Wizards, way to shoot your forum users in the foot, again.  .

I betcha the creature with the text "you win the game" is involved in the two card kill combo MaRo mentioned. If not, games in Standard might get a little swingy...

Why the artwork which looks very much like a repaint (or possibly unedited version) of Horizon Canopy? It doesn't seem to appear in the Planechase cards anywhere, unlike the Bant and Hippodrome art used. I know that's a random thing to pick up on, but it was a bit jarring. :S

Our multiplayer free-for-all games have already started to include global effects in a central pile that we flip up if someone rolls a 6 on a standard 6-sided die. Planechase just formalizes what we are already doing, and it adds the "chaos" ability which is kind of nice. I'm definitely going to pick some up. I think I might not get all 4 sets, maybe just 1, and I'll hope eBay allows me to pick up just the planes.

As for directly removing permanents, including planeswalkers, you forgot Oblivion Ring and Maestrom Pulse. The creature MaRo hinted at could either be destroying permanents or simply dealing damage to a player, which can be redirected to a planeswalker. Although it's not impossible, I don't think we're gonna see "destroy target planeswalker" as an ability anytime soon. The thing is that as of Zendikar, that effect could still only target one of only 13 out of the 10 000+ cards in the game, which makes it rather narrow.

More and more I think that they made a huge mistake to have this change take place when an influx of new players is taking place. It's almost like they intentionally are killing their own momentum (something that until recently I only accused MTGO of doing). And I agree this is less than stellar. At least I actually get to pick an avatar like I can with any other forum by the time I have a few thousand posts. I will say that if I had a casual mutiplayer group still (haven't in more than 14 years) I would go after these. For now I'll see if I randomly get pulled into such a game. I hardly do multiplayer anymore, but if someone asked me to do this I would not hesitate to say yes.
