I was wondering if a full planeswalker control shell could be made using Interplanar Beacon, solland and some of the consistency tools in green, and want to ask your help on a selection of the most high impact planeswalkers that can reasonably be cast in such a shell.
This is my core:
4x Interplanar Beacon
4x Ancient Tomb
4x City of Traitors
4x Oath of Nissa
3x Once Upon a Time
3x Eureka
3x Ensnaring Bridge
Then there is a rather broad selection of planeswalkers to choose from. I made a selection here:
Oko, Thief of Crowns
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Dack Fayden
Karn the Great Creator
Dovin Hand of Control
Ashiok, Dream Render
Narset, Parter of Veils
Liliana of the Veil
Nicol Bolas, Dragon God
Ajani Vengeant
Tezzeret, Master at the Bridge
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
Vraska, Golgari Queen
Liliana of the Veil
Liliana the Last Hope
Lord Windgrace
Nahiri, the Harbinger
Ral Zarek
Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
Saheeli, The Gifted
Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord
Teferi, Time Reveler
Ashiok, Nightmare Muse
Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
Kaya, Ghost Assassin
Ugin, The Spirit Dragon
Karn Liberated
Ugin, the Ineffable
I take it you already have seen the list Phil used:
I believe he went 4-1 with the list. You can see the VOD here.

This idea came up in the N&D a while back when Interplanar Beacon was released, but that was before Oko. The thread might be called "Planeswalker Stompy" or something like that.
OUAT seems bad because it only finds lands, not planeswalkers. Eureka also seems bad because you can just hardcast most walkers for that much mana, and you just risk giving the opponent a Griselbrand or Emrakul.
Chalice of the Void and Trinisphere seem really strong with Sol Lands and a curve at 3-4 cc
The best cheap walkers to ramp into with Beacon are probably:
Oko, Thief of Crowns
Teferi, Time Raveler
Karn, the Great Creator
Narset, Parter of Veils
Ashiok, Dream Render
Dack Fayden
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Most of those are in blue, so you could run a relatively stable manabase and even have Force of Will with some blue draw engine.
If you don't run Chalice so you can have Oath of Nissa, then you might want Arcum's Astrolabe for both fixing and the obvious synergy with Oko.
