Unfortunately, unless you control a Mirror Gallery, you're only going to get 5 damage out of this unless you control more than one other Elemental. The enters-the-battlefield ability will trigger, but state-based actions are performed before it resolves, and all but one of the Omnaths you control will be put into your graveyard. The number of Elementals you control isn't counted until the ability resolves, and the Omnath tokens will be gone by then, so each instance of the ability will only see that you control one Elemental and deal 1 damage.
This will scale up for each other Elemental you control, of course, but the Omnath tokens will never count each other.
Blogatog confirms it's a planeswalker's home plane. And we know it's something Mark's been trying to do for ten years. So...Vryn?
Based on how the faeries in the art look, I highly doubt it's Vryn. It's probably not Lorwyn, either. Remember, MaRo had confirmed that the next expansion following War of the Spark would take place on a never-before-visited plane.
As for which planeswalker this might be the home plane of...for some reason my money's on Wrenn.
They look absolutely amazing, but good God, they couldn't have picked like... good and playable cards? Teferi? Narset? Karn? Anything? What a disappointment.
To be fair, these collections aren't exactly meant for competitive players - they're meant for collectors.
This year's San Diego Comic-Con collection is a boxed set of alternate art versions of the God-Eternals, as well as Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God from War of the Spark.
I'm not so sure about this seeing modern play. Needing 4 creatures with flying is rather specific, outside of WB tokens. Given its sweeper protection, it may replace an anthem, but afaik that deck hasn't been competitive for some time now. And Battle Screech does not appear to be that huge an upgrade over what the deck could do so far to change that.
I mean, aside from Battle Screech, you also have Lingering Souls and Spectral Procession that see play in the format. It's a bit of a stretch but you could see this as a 1- or 2-of in token decks as an extra finisher, but it does seem kind of win-more in that situation.
Well, hello there. This card was literally made for commander. Note that due to the wording, the alternate casting cost dodges the commander tax.
Yeah, you still have to pay the commander tax since you're casting Sephara from the command zone (and the commander tax is a mandatory additional cost). However, considering she only needs to get in three times to kill an opponent (if she's your commander), it's still worth it in most cases.
Sephara, Sky's Blade4WWW
Legendary Creature - Angel (Rare)
You may pay W and tap four untapped creatures with flying you control rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Flying, lifelink
Other creatures you control with flying have indestructible. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them.)
7/7

We weren't going to Vryn. It's been known for a while that this set would be on a new, never-before-visited plane.

The token and the real Sephara make each other indestructible.

Patience, my friend. There are more previews scheduled for this weekend, and there are still previews today that haven't been spoiled yet.
Seb is the man.
