Custom stage to maximise Robin's effectiveness?

First, I apologise if this should have gone in the Q&A, but it seemed a bit long.

Anyhow, as a good casual player, I like screwing around a lot, and one of the ways I do that is by making custom stages that make my mains OP. Any suggestions on how to do one for Robin? I'm stumped!

Funny story, I actually thought up one of these just for kicks. Not sure how accurate it is as to its effectiveness for Robin, but I imagine it wouldn't be half bad.

Wizard Island
Platforms: 2-3
Platform Distance: L
Distance: XL
Slope: L
Top: S
Side: XS

This is the theoretical best stage for Robin (in my opinion). It would be a flat stage with platforms hanging halfway off both edges of the stage. Similar to the ones in Town and City, but maybe lower. An optional third platform high in the middle could assist aerial recovery and aerial combat. A long stage distance ensures time to charge Thoron, made easier by the platforms on either side. If the platforms are long enough, and you are fighting the enemy on the platform, you could land a Sbair to kill around 50%, or a Fsmash around 30%, thanks to the short sides. The empty center, devoid of platforms, will ease hitting with El, Arc, and Thoron, and helps ensure Arcfire remains an obstacle in reaching you. The long, steep slopes to either side make recovering a breeze, recovery so quick and variable that stage-spiking would require delicate timing. Edge recovery is made much easier with the platforms. The closer a stage is to Wizard Island, the better it will be for Robin.

A really uneven stage, best example I can think of is a spike pit from a 2D side scrolled (stay with me), this uneven, spikey terain would stop rush down characters entirely, and allow Robin to camp with thoron and arc fire with ease, this would also force people into the air if they want to approach, which Robin can just do levin airs to keep them out and stuff.
Probably wouldn't be legal at all, but it would be funny to see Falcons and Shieks not be able to get there momentum going at all lol.
