So that rules out Dack Fayden, Sifa Grent, Kiora Atua and Ral Zarek? Eh, not so sure about that. Luminum, your point has been made time and again but I still think Dack/Sifa is possible. There's no reason to have the comic taking place on Innistrad save a possible set tie-in. Besides not everyone knows about these characters (reads the comics). Those that do know about them are interested enough to want a card so it would be disappointing if that didn't happen. I don't see why Wizards would get everyone excited about two new planeswalkers on Innistrad only to not make them relevant in the game.
Also let's consider the loss of the web comics.. IDW is all we have for that now. Why would they suddenly make the comics meaningless to the block storyline??? None of this makes sense to me.
I'm not saying you're wrong luminum but I still think there's a possibility of Dack and/or Sifa in AVR. Otherwise WTF WotC? Give us the web comic back!

Legal issues dealing with IP... perhaps Wizards doesn't want to give information on future sets out. Maybe the creators of the comic want to do thier own stories.
I have to agree with Lum... there is just as much possibility that we won't see him at all. They've certainly had plenty of times in the past where key figures in the novels have been no where to be found in the game outside of a random flavor text.
However, MaRo has stated that there is at least 1 NEW planeswalker we have not seen yet in the game. I don't see why it can't be Dack. Sifa or any other of these characters, not so much. After all, by having multiple storylines taking place on one plane, we just see how large and impressive these worlds are.
Alright, here's the deal. Dack, Sifa, Ral and Kiora all have a chance at being printed, but MaRo's hints suggest it won't be until at least HOOK if not later. I'm going to move this to Speculation for the time being.

You're mixing your rumors.
MaRo stated there were between 1-3 walkers, and that ALL of them were never before seen characters.
The previous rumor was there was at least 1 new walker and at least one other walker.
I only read the first and second comic, however it seems that Dack is on Innistrad with a weapon that turn the tide of all the fighting against the vampires. If this happened before the coming events of AVR, that would be very odd from a story perspective.
I get what Maro said, but does it make too much sense that we have someone who's story is apparently ingrained in Innistrad lore, is a planeswalker, is running around with a very important weapon, and is yet no where in the set? If we end up with 2 new planeswalkers, and possibly up to 3, and none are Avaycn or Grisel, where is there connection at all?
Perhaps having the comics is not a good idea, if they are not going to be related to the happenings of the rest of the world, seems like a lost opportunity.
Ok when it switch to 1-3 new walkers last I heard we would be getting two new walkers one that we have never seen before and one returning. And by what we have seen in the past two sets enemy colors seem to be a big thing. Sorin being white/ black and garruk being green/black so from this possible a blue/ red and if that's the case a red white

MaRo has said between 1 and 3 planeswalkers. An artist has said at least 2 planeswalkers. From this, we actually know there's between 2 and 3 never-before-seen planeswalkers in AVR.

I'll stick on two planeswalkers, with Dack being a very strong shout; depends what "never seen before means".
Lets get this right, no one expects a Black planeswalker. White is a strong shout for a planeswalker in AVR, leaving blue and red without a planeswalker for this block. Hey, look out, Dack is U/R.
Nethertheless, I do expect maybe a W planeswalker and B/R planeswalker.
Thalia is featured in Angelic Destiny. I suspect it is more likely she becomes an angel than a planeswalker. Her incredible fighting ability does suggest something special about her, but the clues within the set support a different fate.

There are lots of reasons why.

It's very unlikely. People keep suggesting this, but they continue to ignore the reasons it's been shot down.
