Grimhilda Grayskull

I have been wanting to see a planeswalker with an ability that mimics Exsanguinate or similar effects, so here is my creation:

Grimhilda Grayskull Show

Grimhilda Grayskull

Casting Cost:

Planeswalker - Grimhilda

Loyalty: 4

+1: each opponent loses 1 life and you gain life equal to the life lost this way.

-2: target player sacrifices a creature and you may return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

-X: each opponent loses X life and you gain life equal to the life lost this way. If Grimhilda Grayskull entered the battlefield this turn, X cannot be greater than 1.

This planeswalker is very straightforward and intended to be useful regardless of when she is summoned or the current state of the battlefield. I originally planned for her second ability to return the creature directly to the battlefield, but decided that that would make it too powerful. I put a restriction on her third ability to prevent it from having too great an effect as soon as she is summoned.

What does everyone else think of this card?

Also, how do I post the symbols for planeswalker abilities? They are not in the list of all other symbols when a post is made.

By the power of Grayskull!

Honestly though, I like this. Although it's kinda wordy for the etb part (and she isn't really OP if you take it out).

dbpunk, in case your are wondering, I have not written any story for her, and I chose the name "Grayskull" because it sounded cool, not because I intended for her to be from the Masters of the Universe universe.

Also, the name "Grimhilda" is the name of the evil queen from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves; in the original tale, the queen has no name, and, even in the famous film, her name is never given. Her name was given in a supplemental comic that was released around the same time as the movie, but no official materials have mentioned her name since then, so it is likely that Disney no longer considers that name to be canon.
