So with the holidays coming up, before we blink it will be Valentine's Day and then primtime for the core set Planeswalkers speculation. Do you all think we'll have a newly designed Fab 5 this year? We've had two years of the current ones.
I am hoping for a playable version of Nicol Bolas

Kiora... My Merfolk need a walker

So replace Jace with a blue Merfolk..... Not seeing that one, BUT! I am seeing a merfolk walker in the theros set. They are buildig them up way too strong not to in this block.
Nissa would be nice.
All weird stuff. Gideon, Kiora Atua, Sorin, Koth and Nissa
Quote from: Rass on November 20, 2013, 07:22:48 PM
Nissa would be nice.
Has she been a core walker before?
Could do without sorin too.

That would be crazy! Pull all the Fab 5 five out for different walkers in a Core Set. I wouldn't even know what that would do to card prices if they rotated them all out. Brain exploded!
Nothing compared the making of an Urza planeswalker.
If this happens, I won't think they overused planeswalkers.

Who said it had to be after apoc?
It could have art from the artifacts saga!
Matter of fact, with all these random planeswalkers, they could make a Mishra planeswalkers card as well. If it weren't for those two, no one would be a planeswalker, and no one would ever have an artifact!!
I have a suspicion that the Ajani in Journey into Nyx will be G/W. They didn't even do the g/w temple yet, so it could happen...
A {B}{R} Minotaur PW would be alright with me.

I know you love the saga, but Weatherlight is lost to the sands of time. Karn has the spark. Hahah. JK! A return to Dominara would be spectacular. And I have no idea how they would make it happen, but the brother's back would be EPIC!!!! I don't know about core set but another artifact block outside of Mirrodin, I mean New Pheryxia, with Urza and Mishra.... I'm actually excited just thinking of what could happen with it.

LOVING the idea of a goblin walker though. Emblem that whenever a goblin enters battelfield you may deal 2 damage to each opponent.

This token exists already his names {Purphoros, God of the Forge}
In response to Urza as a plainswalker: I think that's a great idea. He was one of the first plainswalkers after all. If not a plainswalker how about a creature card. He doesn't have one; hell I would like to see the boogeyman himself get a card as well: Yawgmoth!
I would like another {W}{B} and/or {W}{R} choice.

I sent a message to MaRo awhile back asking for an actual Yawgmoth card...
I also wouldn't mind seeing a Jeska planeswalker card...

I think he said something on Tumblr about this like two weeks ago. He said it was an epic fail on their part that Yawgmoth never got a card but he is dead and it is too late now.
So is Karn, and they remake him all the time.

Yeah but you can't get rid of an emblem. There are other cards that emblems repeat. Plus it's a goblin walker so it has to be direct damage
Quote from: Noblellama on November 20, 2013, 11:01:10 PM
I would love to see Mishra rise as a spiteful arch villain hellbent on destroying dominaria for the betrayal by his brother who he falsely believes still resides/hides there...
And I don't know how they could justify it but I want to see jodah, grandson of urza, somehow spark up and ascend because he has been around for ever and even though he doesn't have a spark (didn't stop urza or karn) he could "somehow" get one. That would be awesome, and have him reunite with Jaya Ballard, because they had a thing that ended when she ascended and it felt wrong to have her walk away like that...
He is technically in the time spiral cycle. Traveling with teffari as well as other planeswalkers. So he may just have the spark. I haven't read the cycle, just saw him in there.
3 colour walkers would be great
I'd love to see my boy Gerrard as a planeswalker. Flavor text referring to him is some of the earliest memories of my magic collecting

That would be cool, however the fluff says "mages" that have the spark. Gerard is very cool, although is no Mage.
:(
I admit I know next to nothing about the lore
I'm only speaking from my end of the stick, but to us early era players, that's what the game is about! Ah get into it, man! So of my fav games where ones based completely around the story of the set versus each other.
I'd be down, but I think it's been mentioned in a couple threads including this one that they don't produce the literature like they used to. I guess I should just search the keywords "magic" and "novel" somewhere and see where I can check some out?

You literally can download 3-4 cycles on PDF, and buy some more from amazon for literally 1-3 dollars depending on how old it is.

To bad he might be dead... {Gerrard Capashen} took {Volrath the Fallen} and jumped off a cliff...plus Gerard was created by Urza in the lore as well...a being created by a plainswalker like sorin did with avacyn.
Quote from: Noblellama on November 21, 2013, 10:42:46 PM
Actually, Gerrard died with urza when the weatherlight transformed into the final form of the legacy weapon and made karn a planeswalker
Weatherlight says this isn't even it's final form...
Well I stand corrected...it was something I read in the magic wiki when my friend wanted to learn a little more of the magic history.

Screw a movie. The people who make movies out of books have a habit of changing things way too much. They should make an anime. And while the people creating the anime will change things up a little they'll not have to cut out as much to make it work. They'll be able to tell all the stories from the beginning and it will be visually stunning.

They could do that too, but I've always been a huge anime fan and a supporter of anime as an idea. Animating a scene that was in a movie opens up so much more potential. There's only so much people can do, and think about it, in the magic world how many things can be recognized as human? There are so many things big and small that are monstrous and weird and impossible to do when you have humans to do it with and some cgi. Yeah that fireball looks cool, but the actor playing the Chandra that just shot it really doesn't fit her at all and so on. When you take all human limitations out of the picture your possibilities are endless. Imagine a season of said anime focusing on the zendikar block and all the awesome eldrazi and jace the mind sculptor doing awesome stuff and nissa and Sorin doing all their adventure stuff or whatever they did together (I have really kept up with the lore). That would be amazing. A movie would be great I just think an anime series would be able to open up so many avenues and allow people to see the adventures of the people they read about and could only imagine in their wildest dreams. To live vicariously through these planeswalkers as you see them and the cards you play with come together in a beautiful universe. That would be sweet.
My local meta has started playing planeswalker EDH. I have no interest in investing heavily into another EDH deck so I'd rather just swap out the general. I run {G}{W}.
THERE IS NO {G}{W} planeswalker. That's what I want to see. That's what I want.
Planeswalker.
{G}{W}.
Thank you.

Naya is a shard of Alara, a block from about 5-6 years ago where the world got split into 5 pieces representing the five allied tri colour combos, Esper, Grixis, Jund, Naya and Bant. Each shard had personality aspects that were based on the colours. Ajani comes from Naya, {W}{R}{G}.

I'm with double O and rarehunter. My favorite dual colors really need some planeswalker representation. My favorite colors are {U}{W}, {U}{G}, and {G}{W} but only one of those have planeswalker representation. Kiora and a GWalker would be so nice...

But I've been thinking for a while, Sphinxes would make the perfect {W}{U} Planeswalker. It'd be something fresh as all Planeswalkers so far are humanoid, but there are many creatures that have sentience. Sphinxes are supposed to be beacons of intelligence! C'mon make it happen!
Quote from: Spikepit on November 23, 2013, 07:23:44 PM
other than Kiora (who is still pretty much speculation), Vraska and Karn, all Planeswalkers are humanoid.
Nicol bolas anyone?
*ahem* yes. Well. I redacted that section of my comment when I also remembered Ajani and Nicol. Too quick for this old dog , Trufflehuneter! 😛

The Alara storyline is pretty cool if you piece it together thru all the wiki sites.... Yes I am a sad old man the google storylines of the different planes.... Face palm
