Planeswalkers Matter Feasibility

Could a set be "Planeswalkers matter" without having Planeswalkers at lower rarities? Could you have a common card that was like "clockspinning" but only for loyalty counters?

“Planeswalker matters” isn’t a theme I think would work as a major theme.

Buyback Mechanic Issues

What is the problem with buyback? It is 1) beloved by all psychographics, and 2) generally looks better than it is, which sounds perfect for a mechanic... Whispers of the Muse and Capsize were mistakes, but Reiterate, Fanning the Flames, Verdant Touch, Clockspinning, Corpse Dance, etc were all perfectly fun and balanced cards.

The problem is that it isn’t worse than it looks. Journey Into Nyx tried to bring it back and it was too good.

Giant Fan's Black Border

On the subject of a black-bordered Giant Fan: Clockspinning and Proliferate work by having you choose a counter that already exists, so that's also an option for making something less "hard-coded" than Power Conduit

But those require a counter already being there. Giant Fan can turn any counter into any other type of counter. I do think we can get close to Giant Fan but “close” is not the same as “exact”.
