Speculation: Tezzeret, Deretti, and Dack all deal with artifacts (and Karn). Therefore, an artifact theme for either Grixis colors or the entire set, will be introduced in War of the Sparks (or whatever it’s going to be called).
As much as Daretti is main storyline I guess... Yeah gonna pass on this one. Partially just on principle after how God awful the last time was, and these PWs are less chase-worthy than Teferi. Also not crazy about the arts this time around.
I despise the Domri art. He looks like a fifth grader who got a crazy haircut and tantrums for attention.
You'd figure the GRUUL planeswalker's would be an ass kicking machine not this crap.
Boo.
We can’t have dudes like Garruk anymore because they have ‘toxic masculinity’. Yet it’s totally fine if Liliana gets a curse placed on him and sends zombies to try and kill him in a fight. Basically its ok for a woman to give a man brain cancer, but heaven forbid that man get angry with her and hunter down to get it removed.
Gideon is only ok because he hasn’t gotten into an altercation with a woman who was trying to kill him.
Lets not even get into the lore about how none of the Gruul would accept him as leader because he can’t win a fight against them to claim dominance.
I'm not the target audience for this, but honestly I feel like most of these are a downgrade to their normal art...
Karn, Scion of Urza: This new art is fine, but the classic art feels iconically Karn already. Tamiyo, the Moon Sage: This is a home run and the most beautiful art in the box. Big upgrade to normal Tamiyo. Sorin Markov: Bleh. None of the attitude that immediately made people pay attention to the original, and a nondescript background. Where even is he? Jaya Ballard: I am neutral - I like the original, but this is also fine. They're very similar in terms of composition. Ajani, Mentor of Heroes: This art looks silly, while the original looked inspiring and solemn. Pass. Dack Fayden: Awful art. Too cartoony. Domri, Chaos Bringer: I know Domri is just a kid but man does this new art make him look like a screaming baby :(. Kaya, Orzhov Usurper: I actually prefer this new art, since it makes her more creepy and ominous.
Moreover, in terms of value, this is a huge downgrade from the first one since all the #value is tied up in Dack.

PW's are Karn, Scion of Urza, Jaya, Tamiyo, the moon sage, Sorin Markov, Dack Fayden, New Kaya and New Domri.
It will be handled by Hasbro's Ebay store and will ship world wide.

Didn’t they learn there lesson just before ultimate masters
Also, lots of lore implications from that roster.

Dack and Karn too.
Also, this is not the art of Karn in Vryn we had seem before. Maybe more karn in until 2021

Boo.
While not bright red, if you look closely enough you can see that he does indeed have a red right hand.
Shipping worldwide is certainly an improvement over last time. Means it is not limited to just North America.
Wait, does he look different anywhere else?
Now seriously: the best Domri art is the PW deck one. The standard version is at best a grear meme material,as shown already.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)

Hard to argue with this Tamiyo and Kaya definitely the best aesthetically. Though Tamiyo is more cause her original is just so boring.
These just don't feel dynamic or exciting, they're very flat portrayals.
Kaya's good though. The rest need more of that in situ feeling.
