I love Planeswalkers who have ultimates that win you the game.
Revised first and last ability.

plakjekaas, while that may be true, it's also incredibly flavorful for Lukka - being able to bond with and essentially control any wild animal he comes across. Not every Planeswalker needs to be a Competitive-level Jace or Liliana.

I know, I'm sorry, I was more memeing at Tibalt than anything else, it actually looks like a cool buildaround.

I don't think the first ability works how you want it to, since you're essentially making it so your opponents' creatures can't attack their controllers if they have a Lukka. You'd need to give Lukka a static saying "creatures with Bond counters can't attack you".

I’m unsure why this wasn’t his original design tbh. This is so flavorful and perfect.

Updated to fix wording on first ability, and to make the ultimate a bit more of a finisher.

Honestly with Lukka's ability to pacify, bond with and control animals, he should be a Naya Planeswalker. I have no idea why he is mono-red.
In truth, I'm not even sure why he needs red at all. Selesnya does that just fine. I get the tie-in for Act of Treason-like spells and abilities, but I just feel like mono-red doesn't fit.

It there's a mirror match you'll run into quite a problem with that first plus 1

The ultimate is strictly worse than Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded's, which I found fun to mention :P
