I've posted my dislike for the antagonist of DotP 2014 before, but somehow he keeps coming up. Recently saw the picture of him again and this came to mind. KTK is the wedge set, and Ramaz was a RUG deck. And honestly, his picture looks like it could be from the Temur clan. i mean, he really looks like he would fit right in. I re-checked what is known about him and there are tied to Zendikar and Eldrazi. Makes me wonder if he really will see card form this block. I don't know if he would be in all 3 his colors, but Ajani never is so why should he.
He's definitely from Kaldhelm so not likely to be specifically Temur.
They put a little more creative behind Kaldhelm for DOTP then I have seen previously for similar unexplored planes, so I'm suspecting it's been through
the vetting process that hadn't happened for the planechase planes of Mongseng (now Takir) and arkhos (Now Theros).
I also think story wise it might just be a touch early for him to reappear, I think we will see Ugin brought into the now, possibly meet Nahari the lithomancer
and see a gathering towards them dealing with the eldrazi.
I think the next block is the perfect time to see how Bolas reacts to the events of Takir block and we hopefully should see Ramaz again then, or Tezzart
I believe this is how the planeswalkers will go down for the rest of block:
Fate Reforged: Ugin. We have art for him already, so it's pretty much a shoe-in.
"Louie": Nicol Bolas and one new/first-time-printed walker. Bolas has to be in this block somehow, probably coming in a form of revenge against Sarkhan and Ugin. And since four walkers we already have known about for forever have been in this block...we need another new one. Ramaz could work because he's never referenced in the cards, but I feel a brand new walker, specifically a Jeskai one since they have no multicolored walkers, would be nice.
I doubt they'd put Ramaz in Louie, which is apparently not going to share much mechanically with KTK aside from morph. I'd bet on Ramaz in FRF and Ugin in Louie (now that he's properly resurrected -- or rather, never-dead-in-the-first-place). That leaves the question of who the second Louie walker would be. Bolas would be one possibility, but while he makes sense in FRF (travel back in time to the Bolas/Ugin fight), why would he be in Louie, having lost to Ugin? I mean, it makes some sense -- but if Ramaz is indeed in the block, then we don't actually need Bolas himself in the block, as we already have one of his agents. So second Louie walker could be someone new.
The biggest hole in the above, I think, is, why would Ramaz be back in the past?
Nowhere is it said that Ramaz is from Kaldheim. He just showed up there.
Yeah My Bad, I could have sworn there was something about chandra chasing him to his home plane. But I guess I'm just misremembering or basing it of speculation.
That said yeah I can see him in Temur and he makes a interesting mirror foe for Sarkhan.
