In a different plane , a different time , a spark awakens and a new planeswalker is born...

Tyrion emerges from the shadows as he begins to reunite the divided Kingdoms of Westeros...he feels the mana coursing through his body. He begins to see things that he was not able to see before. The future opens wide to him and the strategies begin to form in his mind. Machines from different realities and armies that would be at his disposal bow before the halfman that would reunite all...

For me Tyrion is the most interesting character in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Born as a misshapen dwarf to a House that is both powerful and cruel he has used both cunning and wits to rule with both Mercy and Justice. George Martin has shown that with his mind  and compassion Tyrion can outmatch the Honorable and not so Honorable players in the Game of Thrones.  

If Tyrion became a Planeswalker I often wondered what would comprise his color identity so this is me giving it a shot: He would be Esper.

Blue:

Since the Beginning of the Series Tyrion has always been shown as a Bookworm. Someone who studies all through the night and Knowledge is one thing that he values above all. He has always shown a great affinity for machines  both great and small. He designed the saddle that allowed Bran to ride on a horse again and the use of weapons such as the 3 Whores in the defense of Kings Landing as well as the famous Chain that caused so much devastation to Stannis Baratheons fleet. Arcane Knowledge and Machines has always been a blue trait and Tyrion exhibits both of them. Many times in the series Tyrion has managed to get out of sticky situations by just his wits alone , like his Ancestor Lan the Clever.

Black:

The main players in the Game of Thrones are in it to win and will use any means in order to achieve that goal. Murder and Lies and Tricks and Bribes. Tyrion is not above using all of these to see his goals come into fruition. Black always screams about Power at any cost and Tyrion certainly has these traits. Although he does aim for the greater good of all  , His morals does not hold him in using strategies that normally Honorable characters would not use. And he does have a darkside to him. Killing His ex-lover Shae and the mighty Tywin all in the same night. 

White:

Out of all the Characters in Westeros Tyrion has the most compassion. He wants order and he wants justice. He wants to know the truth about things and he gets them most of the time because of his persistence and patience. He is both fair in treating people such as Sansa Stark , Robert Baratheons bastards and even Jon Snow. At the end of the series I want him to rule because he has proven just how effective he can be. He has an affinity to Unwanted and Broken things he will say and that I say is a white trait. 

Suggested Abilities would be:

Card Drawing at the cost of a permanent...

Bribery effect at the cost of a permanent...

And his Ultimate ability would be a Volition Reins effect on all other permanents at the loss of all the permanents you own...

There will always be a price to be paid when playing a Lannister. Even is Tyrion would be playing for good it will still have to cost you.

Tyrion is humbled by the tributes he has received. He knows that there was a price in every step that he took before he reached this pinnacle. It has been a journey that was full of pain and sorrow yet at this moment he stands towering above everyone else as the true ruler of the 7 kingdoms of Westeros.

Writers Note:

Planeswalker Awakenings is like a "what if" series...where we try to put a character from a Book , TV series or movie into the context of a planeswalker from Magic:The Gathering.
