If Jace is {U}{W} then we'd have 2 white planeswalkers, because Gideon is {W}{R}....

See, I'm wondering if a {U}{B} Jace could happen since they always build him around mill
Jace was never into the darker forms of magic and spell casting I don't think he'd ever be {B}

We've also had our share of new {B} PWs.

Didn't him and Lili have a thing going on? I think it's possible

{U}-
{Jace, Memory Adept}
{Tamiyo, the moon sage}

{B}-
{Liliana of the Veil}
{Liliana of the Dark Realms}

{W}-
{Ajani, Caller of the Pride}

{R}
{Chandra, the Firebrand}
{Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded}

{G}-
{Garruk, Primal Hunter}
{Garruk Relentless // Garruk, the Veil-Cursed}

Boros - {W}{R} - New Gideon
Simic - {U}{G}
Izzet -{U}{R}
Dimir - {U}{B}
Azorius - {U}{W}
Gruul - {R}{G}
Selesnaya - {G}{W}
Orzhov - {B}{W} - {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}
Golgari - {B}{G}
Rakdos - {B}{R}

{B}{U}{R} - {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}

Dudecore

So I'll am making the case for a {U}{W} Jace, so that White has 4 planeswalkers (including the new Gideon), blue would have 4.

No izzet planeswalker. Definelty a new green planeswalker of some kind. I think the other Planeswalker will be from Rakdos {B}{R}.

It's really up in the air at this point. It could actually go either way. My uninformed opinion is that Izzet and Azorius (lead by jace) are plotting something, and Gideon and Boros are tired of enforcing whatever laws. So the "Gate Crash" in the second set is those guilds fighting the previous guilds. The "gate" is the new Prahv.

I think gatecrash will have the {U}{G} Planeswalker from duels. Simic now has a merfolk guild leader. Ravinca the first time didn't have merfolk. It would make since on how they got to Ravinca.

BlackJester

@Dudecore, I like the breakdown.  Technically, wouldn't Garruk be {B}{G}?  Or are we going off of lore more than playability?  Are you only looking from INN forward?

Dudecore

@BJ:
Post rotation breakdown. I consider Garruk {G} because you don't need {B} to cast him.

This would make a great deal of sense for Gatecrash. Kiora Atua, would be a good fit for MtG and merfolk, but I dont really see Simic as a fit for her. But thats a great point.

BlackJester

I can see Kiora fitting if she helped make big monsters. Something to do with joining creature's abilities maybe, á là {Experimental Kraj}.

One question I have is, is Merfolk weren't on Rav last time we were there, how did they suddenly appear?

That's why I think kiora will be in the Ravinca block. It could be how they get there.
