Well if the theories are true about Kozilek hiding underground, maybe he will appear in this set as a planeswalker that way they can further the story by having him "walk" away from Zendikar. Not before doing some damage of course.
we've been over this many times, eldrazi can't be planeswalkers.

Aren't we supposed to get one new walker per set since RTR? As in, one new character entirely? If I recall Rosewater said that was the plan, and its been pretty spot on sans a few sets in the middle.
Return to Ravnica had Vraska
Gatecrash had Domri Rade
Dragon's Maze had Ral Zarek
Theros had Ashiok and Xenagos
Born of the Gods had Kiora
Journey Into Nyx didn't have one (only Ajani)
Khans of Tarkir didn't have one (only Sorin and Sarkhan)
Fate Reforged had Ugin
Dragons of Tarkir had Narset
Battle for Zendikar has Ob Nixilis
I think we could see one of the Oath members then a new character or planeswalker. They'll save Nahiri/Sorin together for a later story thread to unravel. Would be interesting if someone like Drana did it, but doubt they'd give another Vampire a planeswalker nonetheless a second B in this story.
They might not being doing this as much anymore, focusing on the characters they already have created instead.

I'm not really a fan of this new direction. In almost all cases new arts featuring walkers guarantee their cards when the sets are out. It's a natural expectation to see them in card frames rather than merely appearing on the sidelines. Even the Black Widow and Hawkeye got some screen time in the Avengers.
It certainly does seem odd to advertise this team of walkers becoming this "Oath", or whatever it may be, and not all of them having a card. I think this is them not wanting to have more than five walkers in a block with the new block system in place. I can understand Ugin, Sorin, or Nahiri not getting a card, if the last two play a bigger part in this, but to skip out on some of the ones that seem to be doing this big thing does seem odd for sure.
Meh, doesn't seem so odd to me. But then, I started playing during the Weatherlight saga, where we had to wait until the very end to finally get a card of the main character, and a few major players never even got that much.

Not every character needs to be a planeswalker.
I swear, that's becoming my catchphrase at this rate. Y'all seriously need to cut that ***** out.
Almost certainly it will be Nissa and Chandra and they will be new cards. The key art for Nissa implies it will be a new card certainly.
New art does not imply new card
I also guess they will reprint some planeswalkers in expansion sets as they don't have core sets anymore. I don't want to say that Nissa and Chandra will be reprints for sure, just that they CAN be reprints :>

I am guessing that Nahiri shows up in a different block dealing with stopping Emrakul and Kozilek. Afterall she is the only one that can really make the hedrons like she did. None of the other worlds have them.
Maybe one of the three missing planeswalkers will trade his/her spark for a mean to deal with the Eldrazis so he/she will be printed as a Legendary Creature
I could see Nissa doing that.
Ob Nixilis has stolen the soul of Zendikar to reignite his spark, so Nissa has to use hers to save the plane from dying.

From a flavour perspective this would be possible, but I don't see them losing one of the Origins Five, it doesn't make any sense at all. Moreover, enfranchised players would see it as a replay of what happened to Teferi during the Mending.
I don't think it would happen, either. I think the Origins 5 will be the planeswalkers they plan to focus on, story-wise, for the foreseeable future and I don't see how that would be possible if one of them is anchored to a specific plane.
The Fat Pack booklet already spoils the story, and Nissa doesn't lose her spark in the fight against Ob Nixilis:
Before Ob Nixilis can drain the world soul of Zendikar through Khalni Heart to restore his spark, Nissa fights/defeats Nixilis and saves/relocates Khalni Heart.
Later, when our heroes are trying to seal Ulamog (as seen in Aligned Hedron Network), Ob Nixilis shows up again and starts draining the energy from the hedrons and his spark is restored. Ulamog is on the verge of breaking free when the BFZ story ends and the Oath of the Gatewatch story is supposed to pick up.

I did not know that. I haven't had the money to buy a fat pack yet. Thank you for clearing that up!
An eldrazi planeswalker would be funny though 15
+1: target opponent sacrifices 6 permanents
-3: take an extra turn after this one
-5: spells you cast can't be countered. permanents you control have protection from colored spells. Creatures you control get +15/+15 and have flying. When a card is put into your graveyard from anywhere shuffle your graveyard into your library.

Red is Chandra as seen on the Oath of Gatewatch preview art:
I would guess that the other is a wild card but I have my hopes that it will be Nahiri. I wish they'd actually tell us what happened to her.
INB4 she is Ashaya...
The main character in Zendikar IMO is Nissa, followed by Gideon. I'm pretty sure she has a slot in Oath. IF you're the main character of Zen and your card's not in it you're doing it wrong.
And since red is missing, Chandra will probably be the other walker.

Yeah, but we've *seen* Nissa's new PW art by Raymond Swanland,
and Ashaya is part of it, so I doubt she's just a reprint of Nissa, Worldwaker.
Reprint Stasis!

I still would put my money on Nissa and a new person or Nissa and Chandra if Wizards is playing it safe since no core sets anymore.
