Things of Note Teferi and Chandra are the two Planeswalker decks for Dominaria, Chandra's is R/G and Teferi's W/U that doesn't meant the planeswalkers are those colours neccessarily, but they could be.
Also Tezzeret's PW deck for M19 seems to be mono blue. We could be looking at another Tezzeret pre Bolas
I wonder how are they going to manage to make Teferi a Planeswalker. Maybe as a product without a storyline implication it could be that he is pre-mending. Also Teferi is quite Azorius, I would love to see that. He has shown extensive use of white magic. And that is clearly Jaya. I am in love with her returning. btw Karn seems bhave the scars of his previous phyrexis.
That was my first reaction too, but on closer inspection it definitely isn't. Huatli's armor and weapons are always depicted as full of organic-feather shapes, where this character's armor has a far more traditional design, and the white/blue colour scheme is very different from Huatli's amber, red, and white scheme. Huatli also never uses shields as far as I'm aware, just those weird, half-circle things of questionable martial value. As for the Huatli in the planeswalker decks, it seems clear that they're just using placeholders to avoid putting spoiler cards in their packaging displays.
More and more i think Dominaria will be a planeswalker set. Also, if the planeswalkers decks are right we will have Chandra and Teferi as planeswalkers.
The middle booster is an Aven, yes, but I believe they're talking about the armored woman with a shield on the far right booster. If you look behind her left arm it's clear there's an additional armor plated shape there. I actually think it is a horse, not a wing, but we DO know that there's a new Angel character in the Dominaria storyline, so it could also be her. (It just doesn't look like a wing to me, personally.)
So the Tezzeret intro deck is mono-blue... monocolor intro decks makes sense for a core set, but the Tezzeret art we saw looks VERY blue/black in terms of color scheme, though that art is presumably for his card in the main set, which could have a different color identity just like Vraska and Nissa recently. Maybe they'll bring back flipwalkers, and the Tezzeret one will be a blue legendary creature (no reason for him to have black before he sparked) that flips into a present-day UB Tezzeret planeswalker.
It would make sense to do flip walkers since people expect 5 walkers per core set and 3 walkers per regular large set. With the new 3-1 model, that would mean 14 walkers per year instead of 10, which is a big difference. Flipwalkers, though, can't be counted the same way towards the number of planeswalkers in standard, since they typically won't become planeswalkers until the turn after they enter the battlefield, giving the opponent a chance to remove them while they're still creatures and not allowing them to do game-warping planeswalker-y things immediately when you cast them. If they do 9 regular planeswalkers (3 per non-core set) and 5 flipwalkers (in the core set) per year, the number of true planeswalkers in standard remains the same. Plus flipwalkers were very popular as I understand it; Maro's contasntly being asked to make more; and there's lots of untapped design space, so it would make tons of sense for WotC to do them each year in core sets.
So if we see a blue Tezzeret that flips into a UB planeswalker, I think we could see an entire cycle of monocolored legends that flip into two-colored walkers. They would function as if they were monocolored in every format but Commander, in which the color they add on the back would be counted in their color identity. For instance:
Ajani / Ajani
Tezzeret / Tezzeret
Sorin / Sorin
Tibalt / Tibalt
Garruk / Garruk
Obviously there are a limited number of planeswalkers who have added another color but all of these have been around for a while, are reasonably popular, and are either currently plot-relevant or could easily become relevant again in the future. Plus these five specifically would easily fit the description of "sort of about villains, but not entirely". The planeswalker decks would be a mono-blue Tezzeret (obviously) and (if these predictions are correct) either a mono-white Ajani, a mono-black Sorin, a mono-red Tibalt, or a mono-green Garruk.

Where do you see it?
I don't see the die nor the spindile
EDIT: nvm I found it
It looks like a mix of karns head and dark steel set symbol.
Also nice to see Tezzeret getting more love these days.
The booster pack on the far right. Tho I guess it could be an Armored horse directly behind her. But, seems more like the base of her wing.

We've known that he'd be back for quite a while now. Same with Teferi.

I could have sworn that was an Aven.

Core 2019 Planeswalker decks come with 1 booster.
I stand by my prediction that they will come in sets of 5, all be mono color, and be 40 card decks.
The Planeswalker decks from non-core sets will be 2 boosters, 60 card decks, and come in sets of 2, although I wish they came in sets of 4.
nice info
I would hate if m19 has 5 intro packs in it with unique planeswalker cards ( but i guess i can skip 1 or 2 decks)
Did you spot it in the pictures on toyart? Do you have other info?
