MTG Salvation

A nameless 'Walker?

An untyped walker. I was wondering how wizards would handle a blind seer scenario in the future and this is a pretty nice option. Migh go well in superfriends.

Interesting. I'm curious where the guesses are now as to whom this is—or perhaps it's a new Planeswalker entirely?

Possibly. She actually reminds me of Ashrah.

Pre-Ixalan, I was worried about alternate timelines, e.g. a WU Tezzeret in the vein of Planar Chaos. Obviously planeswalkers don't need a subtype now that they're all legendary.

Under the old rules, they needed to have a subtype. The new rules, they can have an alternate reality version of Tezzeret (the Azorius one from Earth-Three, for instance) with the type line "Planeswalker—Tezzeret" and that only matters for a handful of cards.

That's what I'm getting at.

Well... obviously as long as there are cards that care about walkers by subtype, they will need them.

She is a character I'd rather follow in future sets instead of the Gatewatch.
Monowhite Tajic, Legion's Edge goes very well with Shalai, Voice of Plenty and is capable of defending herself from big dudes.

I definitely think they are setting up characters for after this set’s storyline. Not sure if they will be following Karn in his next adventure or possibly a story with Kamigawa, I could see this character coming back in a story with the global series planeswalkers. Maybe just a commander set reference in the future.

So it'd be really stupid if this was Elspeth, right?

The lore behind her kind of makes it make sense. Given the nature of Theros undead and the fact that The Wanderer has to concentrate in order to not planeswalk constantly (being the only planeswalker like this), it might work.

The Wanderer + Spark Double = no noncombat damage gets through unless they kill either through exile/destroy. As red doesn't play this in Bo1, this could capitalize on them in an esper shell. The finisher would be Command the Dreadhorde to bring back all of the countered, discarded or killed creatures and planeswalkers from both graveyards (similar to The Eldest Reborn, but scaled up to 11).
