I'm playing a GWU EDH deck and I'm having a hard time dealing with Plainswalkers.
Creatures are easy, lots of low cost (4mana or less) removal in those colors but i can't find a decent way to deal with Plainwalkers if they hit the board.
Bounce/counter is an option. So far all i can come up with is
This is a verbal warning, please post more than just a few card names and a type of card in a color. Explain why you are suggesting those cards, or something. That goes for you too Amadi.
EDIT @DalkonCledwin: Because it is so SPIKY and AWESOME. It like, DECIMATES planeswalkers, who all have a fear for NEEDLES. It strikes right on the VITAL SPOT and causes them to fall down in ground and be USELESS. Just look at it? IT'S PENETRATING SOMEONE'S HEAD! You know you want to play this AWESOME NEEDLE! And QUESS WHAT? The best part is just coming. YOU CAN TUTOR THIS THING UP WITH THE GODDAMN TRINKET MAGE! You're not playing TRINKET MAGE? You DAMN WELL SHOULD! Trinket Mage is AWESOME. So awesome that it will make your EYES FALL OFF from seeing it. That little guy can tutor for JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING INCLUDES LANDS, ACCELERATION AND THE GODDAMN PITHING NEEDLE!

Confiscate and Take Possession are great ways to "deal" with opponent's planeswalkers. Why do you need to deal with them inexpensively? I mean how consistently are these planeswalkers coming out early?
Just had people dropping early Jace and Chandra, and they've been problematic. It only takes a few turns for their Ultimates to come online. It was just a hole in my deck, I feel I need a few more ways to fill.
Confiscate and Take Possession are good ideas, since they are in theme of the deck, even if they are a little pricey. Was trying to stay away from high mana cost mostly due to having a lot of 6+ cards in the deck already.
Pithing needle don't know why i didn't think of that, great for general shut down too.
Same with Faith Fetters (not sure why it wasn't in the deck to begin with)
The Shadow guy I think i'll use in my W/B dack. More in the theme of that deck (my decks are more casual multiplayer then serious 1v1.)

hahahahahahaha. This is so great. Pithing Needle really is a good answer though.
And just for our convienience, what GWU general are you using?
Haha! I love that you were attentive enough to catch Glimmervoid, but not to catch that the subject of the photo is totally not a dude.

those may be the most fruitful colors for dealing with that specific problem, most of them may only be temporary though. Capsize can help in the long run, Cryptic Command is a modal all-star. Mangara of Corondor may also be a suitable solution. Pentarch Paladin is good if they're monocolored. Primal Command is a great choice as well.
I am amazed no one has mentioned Archon of Justice in this thread yet. There is nothing like exiling a planeswalker and getting a big fat body as a reward for doing that

Its a copy/steal deck for the most part. Merieke Ri Berit didn't do much for me and wanted to play green instead of black (plus a real Legends is cooler then Ice Age legend :)) I have no problem with creatures, artifacts, but Planeswalkers were issues.
Casual, but fun. A sit and wait deck.
The other deck is my GFs W/B Angel/Demon deck. Pure casual.
Capsize will go in once i find my copies. I was avoiding it for the over all cheesiness, but you can't remove all the cheese from a deck, or you will lose to the cheese other decks have. And Capsize is a great fix all for almost anything.
Cryptic Command is a must have but I'm trying to keep it to cards i have (and i just got back in after 3 years off, so its mostly old stuff or <1$ cards) So till i can find one in trade, no go.
World Queller was another one I was forgetting.. will be going in both of decks.
Creatures are easy, lots of low cost (4mana or less) removal in those colors but i can't find a decent way to deal with Plainwalkers if they hit the board.
Bounce/counter is an option. So far all i can come up with is
Woodfall Primus
all these are in the 6+ mana area.
Anything in White/Blue I'm missing?
faith's fetters
oblivion ring
bounce in blue

Archon of Justice is great, and will be going into my W/B for sure.

World Queller was another one I was forgetting.. will be going in both of decks.
Voidstone gargoyle and Mangara of Corondor will find good homes in my W/B. Mangara could also go into the the GWU since it goes well with Soul Foundry.
Thanks, I'll take more if you can think of them.
