Ok guys if Ral is in dragon maze (I think he is supposed to be...) what do you think his plainswalker will look like?
Please remember he is most likely a blue/red plainswalker aligned with Izzet so good luck! :D
Hes going to look like a blend of blue and red awesome

I know I meant card effect wise. What do you think his abilities are?
BTW yes we all know he's a blend of red-blue AWESOMNESS!!! Other plainswalkers won't stand a chance. Except {Jace the Mindsculptor}.
{R}: create red awesome
{U}: create blue awesome
Ok enough trolling, idk but i hate UR its such a boring alliance imo :/ i hope he does something new that appeals cuz i love the colors just not izzet
{1}{R}{R}{U}
Ral Zarek, Rival of Niv
Planeswalker- Ral
3 Loyalty
+2 CARDNAME deals X damage to target creature, where X is the number of cards in your hand.
-4 Copy the last instant or sorcery spell you cast this turn. You may choose new targets for the copy, then draw cards equal to its converted mana cost.
-12 You get an emblem that says "You may pay {0} rather than pay the mana cost for multicolor spells you cast."
I'm pretty sure that this interpretation is like RTR's Jace. Nobody likes the last ability but the first 2 are solid, but the first one can get VERY broken...
Ok only reason for name, and effects are in ral zarek's art it looks like he is wearing {Illusionist Brackets}.
Ral Zarek, the Illusionist
{U}{U}{R}{1}
[+2]: Copy the last spell that was played. Any player may counter the spell by paying {1}
[+2]: Copy the last activated ability that was played. Any player may counter the activated ability by paying {1}
[-12]: You gain an emblem that says, "Whenever you play a spell or activated ability, copy it. You may choose a new target for the spell."

I'm pretty sure most people feel the same way, people like me. There is a high chance he is in it due to the fact he has already integrated himself into artwork and quotes. Look at {Homing Lighting} as an example!
I'd say copying is a guarantee with his gate crash card {Homing Lightning}. But what about a more blue centered ability? Makes me wonder.
Anyone else think he will be a two drop? {U}{R}?
Flavor-wise, it makes sense. Just give him some toned-down abilities and make him a bit better than Tibalt. Just my 2 cents. Something like:
Ral Zarek, Electrocaster
{U}{R}
2 loyalty
+1 Deals 1 damage to target creature or player and each creature that shares a [name/type] with it
-2 Draw two cards, then discard a card
-4 until end of turn, you may cast up to 3 instants or sorceries without paying their mana costs.
Obviously it still needs work, but Ral @ the 2 slot would be sweet.
Bear in mind that in the second book which released earlier this month, Ral uses a lot of electricity. That is his "power" (as Chandra is to fire) seemingly.
No one?
Interesting for a 2-drop. Sure this design needs some work, but with a 2-drop ral zarek maybe we can forget about you-know-who.
They've had a {U}{R} planeswalker in the RtR block already so I'm hoping a PW slot goes to {U}{G}. If he is in there, and based on his story, I'd guess:
Ral, Reckless Researcher
2 colorless {U}{R}
[+1] deal 1 damage to target creature or player (penchant for firing off electricity)
[-x] copy target instant or sorcery where x is that spells cmc. (Stealing from jace and niv)
[-4] cast an instant or sorcery spell from any graveyard without paying its mana cost. (discovery of the leyline)
1 loyalty counter (though he doesn't even seem that loyal😉)
