The best part of this spell is Domri death. Oh god can't belive that brat took down old man Borborygmos and made hin a exile, and then when things are going bad he p*** out and go ask bolas to have mercy on hin if he fights the walkers and the rest of Ravnica. Thanks god this trash walker died, had some potential in Gatecrash but in Allegiances he was just all around trash.
Plz Wizards bring back Borborygmos or Ruric Thar, or give us a Gruul leader that isn't a embarrassment, that really cares for the injustice the other guilds did to us (hate Selesnya and Simic especialy)
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

What’s wrong with the other Green guilds?
And Boborygmos has to be getting old, might be best to let him go anyways.
It will be hilarious if it turns out that Eternals don't kill walkers to extract their sparks. For example, Dack in the trailer doesn't look dead after such procedure.
The technique used to extract sparks is still the biggest secret for me. Yawgmoth tried to do so and achieved nothing when Bolas has an army where every common soldier can perform it by a single strike or bite. I don't even.

Remember that Bolas is extracting fundamentally different sparks than Yawgmoth.
Thanks, added. Glad to see the little brat got what he deserved. Though I would be careful with pronouncing him dead yet.
If he's left sparkless among the Gruul, he's probably as good as dead anyway...
Agreed... Domri without his spark is as good as DEAD. Just like any Gruul, his "Hit things first, ask questions later" approach got his due to most likely he sees Bolas as a aspect of chaos that he's bringing. But doesn't easily see that once you've outlived your usefulness, your as good as expendable and... "Your spark is Mine"
Remember that Bolas is extracting fundamentally different sparks than Yawgmoth.
If the spark extraction is a property of the Elderspell, and the Elderspell was discovered by Bolas within the annals of ancient forgotten Dominarian history, then couldn't we deduce that it was possible to extract these sparks back before the Mending?

We could, but who says that Yawgmoth had access to these? Even if it is ancient knowledge, it is possible that it's not quite as ancient as Phyrexia ancient.

Before and for a short time after the signing of the Guildpact, the Gruul Clans were a wild and noble guild charged with maintaining the wild places on Ravnica. They were supposed to keep civilization in check. Civilization and the other nine guilds, however, overran every wild place on the plane. This changed the Gruul.[1]
As the wilds were torn down, so too were the Gruul's responsibilities taken from them. The Simic claimed jurisdiction over nature's future. The Selesnya preached about nature in order to bring it into its conclave. With their responsibilities taken over by others, they were seen as outside of the Guildpact and the Azorius began to write them out of the law. Outside the law, the Boros were not required to protect them and the Orzhov were free to enslave them.
Is anyone else confused by the art? Like I see the Eternal, but that thing next to it doesn't look like a person. It's like a flesh-colored block that resembles Domri. Hopefully it looks better in person.

Now that you mention him. Out of curiosity, did Ruric Thar see some action in this war? I haven't seen him in any cards yet.
Well, now at least they can say that there were consequences as one planeswalker is confirmed to be dead.
Of a useless, irrelevant and barely appearing in the story character at all? Oh, and you see how many people are tearing their clothes in sorrow, because they will miss so much this guy? Yeah, me neither.
Spark Harvest B
Sorcery (C)
As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature or planeswalker or pay 3B.
Destroy target creature or planeswalker.
With the harvest of Domri's spark, the Elderspell began to fuel Bolas's ascension to godhood.

Indeed, he might have willingly given his spark to Bolas since he’s such a fan.
This does make it sound like his was the first to go.
Surprised no one has mentioned this is like Bone Splinters with extra tweaks.
