Oh damn. Who is that getting the axe right there? Ral?

mark rosewater said its not ral

Plus, you can’t really see his dragon tattoo, and even if his spark is stolen, maybe they aren’t killed, we don’t know...

He has the same scarves and the arm bands. It's not a guarantee, but I think it pretty damning at this point. I'm not invested in it; if I'm wrong, cool, but I don't think Domri or Ral, among others, are making it out of this one.

Yea, I get that, but the character in the image isnt wearing any blue, and is missing his arm cannons and the only thing that kinda looks like him is his hair. I personally think this is just a random person whose spark hasnt ignited, just like the guy in the bottom of the image

Oh, I'm pretty sure he's toast. His other cards probably show him turning on Bolas, and this being the end result.

If this is Act III then it might be, but he was shown ok in another card, plus he doesn’t have the arm cannon thing

Looks like it.

Mister Bolas, I don't feel so good.

Ironically awesome for use in superfriends to force one walker to Ult.

Am I correct in assuming this fizzles if you don't have a friendly planeswalker to target? (as it doesn't say up to one)

"choose a planeswalker you control"

It also doesn't require you to target a friendly planeswalker, only choose one, so I think you should be able to play it without one.

What.....
This card is literally broken and could let Esper immediately charge a Teferi ult (if there are two planeswalkers out and you have 7 mana, you can play this with Teferi and ult the turn he hits the board, while retaining him at 1 loyalty).

Which, admittedly, is why when I chart Commander decks, I steer clear of effects that bind opponent spells to their own turns. If it were just my own turn, it'd be one thing. But everyone else's turn? Not happening.

Spark Double and Lazotep Plating are also going to be huge value in this endeavor.

Not to mention that Dovin, Hand of Control, can acts as a WU pseudo-fog on a large threat while Flux Channeler (I predict that this will be a top card in the set) lets you ramp loyalty and God-Eternal Kefnet lets you draw or remove threats far faster and more efficiently that normal.

Teferi decks are already the most toxic play experience imaginable. This set is going to make them so much worse. Time Raveler/Mage of Zhalfir-style "can only cast at sorcery speed" is low-key one of the strongest control effects in the game. That combined with all this other stuff is going to be ridiculous.

2 mana planeswalker-sweeper. And gives loyalty counters to your own planeswalker. In a set where EVERY draft deck will have planeswalkers simply by necessity.

Well okay then.

Lmao, this entire set revolves around nicol bolas casting a 2 mana spell.

sooo... anyone not playing black with this set out?
