Planeswalkers Mana Costs

Why do almost all (monocolored) planeswalkers have doube colored mana costs (i. e. Jace, Cunning Castaway costs 1UU, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar costs 1GG, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar costs 2WW)?

It lets us cost them cheaper.

Illusions Text Update

Hi Mark! Could you tell me a little about the upgrade on Illusions? Their texts usually stated they'd be sacrificed when targeted by spells OR abilities ("Skulking" was the slang for that). The latest, Labyrinth Guardian (AKH) and the token Jace, Cunning Castaway (XLN) creates (if there are previous ones I'm not aware of, would you please point them out?), care only for spells, so they're strict upgrades, right? How did that happen? Are we to expect this to be standard Illusion text from now on?

That’s the plan for the “illusion” text moving forward.
