I'm unsure what moment Primevals' Glorious Rebirth is supposed to depict. Weren't they each revived individually during Invasion block?
I thought it represented the rebirth of Bolas. First 5 elder dragons fight it out, and later Bolas gets himself resurrected at the Talon Gates(who are shown on the bottom).

Based on discussions I've had in other threads over the years, the neowalker spark is supposedly only a means to travel between planes. It doesn't prolong life, it doesn't (or shouldn't) boost power and ability. So a neowalker who would lose their spark would not (or should not) experience any change in power or ability except for the loss of interplanar travel.
Neowalkers are on average more powerful then normal mages since the spark lets them channel mana from other planes (Ob mentions reconnecting to his old mana bounds when he gets re-sparks).
Right, my point was that assuming that the spark doesn't carry any power enhancing features, resparking would not make you any more of a target. If I'm an archvillain, sooner or later I will come for Dominaria. I will have to deal with Teferi at that point, at the latest, whatever my plans for him are (ignore/manipulate/threaten/kill/etc.). That plan might have to be accelerated if Teferi suddenly starts planeswalking around, but it's unlikely to change.
Right if your Bolas and your making a list of who needs to be dealt with in order to take control of Dominaria. Human Wise the list should be Teferi, Jodah, Jaya and Jhoira. Karn, Some Elementals (Multani) and The Top Angels (Dawnbringer). Whether Teferi has his spark or not makes very little difference. Basically anyone who has an age over 1000 needs to go.
As far as we know at present, Bolas has no (direct) plans towards domination over Dominaria alone. As part of a greater scheme yes, but nothing else. Besides, there's a more than speculative chance that he is the ultimate director of the Cabal - Belzenlok's boss, if you will.
Also, the story spotlight #2, Final Parting, that (based on the "Jaya dies" theory)I suspected to be Jodah and Jaya's final goodbye, might on the other hand be the end of current story, and the final parting of Liliana and Josu...
So I'm reading Future Sight and Teferi is raging out that Jeska sealed the Zhalfir rift before Zhalfir was ready to phase back in. He says that without his spark, there's no way he could ever return Zhalfir to reality.
Would regaining his spark, and returning his ability to interact with the Blind Eternities, allow him to then have a chance at returning Zhalfir? Or is it more likely a one-off meaningless line in the book? The flavor texts and art of the set so far show a Teferi still haunted by Zhalfir, and his Oath card makes it seem the return of Zhalfir isn't even being considered.
It would be an interesting reason for him to take the spark back.
Ok. Apperantly there are still Skirk Ridge goblins living deep in tunnel beneath Otaria. Oblivious that the place is a waste above ground. Heh.
Also Torgaar has been spoiled. What is he? Is he in Urborg? I think i see the Stronghold in the background... And what people is he plucking up? They look like cinders.

I don't think Jaya Fans should consider themselves out of the woods just yet.
Why not? The only evidence that anyone had for her dying was the names of Final Parting and Jaya's Immolating Infernobefore we saw the art and flavor texts of those cards. Now we know that Final Parting is related to Lilliana and the flavor text to Jaya's legendary sorcery has to do with her becoming a planeswalker in the first place, not her dying. There is no evidence any more that they intend to kill off Jaya Ballard, especially with all they have done to set her up as Chandra's future and possibly even current mentor figure.
Better not kill Jaya off. I want to see Chandra grow more and like Formless_One said, it would give her a mentor figure to learn from and someone who could relate to her and tell her of their experiences as a pyromancer. A pyromancy grandma if you will.
Thirded. I don't see any evidence that Jaya has impending doom heading her way. Other than the circumstantial statement of 'anything could happen', which if we're going by, implies that any one of the characters present in Dominaria could die.
Indeed. Leaving Jaya alive allows for a more steady progression for Chandra, instead of the Rocky-montage one paragraph training and subsequent death. As a long time fan of Jaya's, if she has to die, I would prefer her to do so while taking out something badass with her. And there seems to be a lack of badass foes on Dominaria for this purpose (even if Belzenlok would fit the bill, which he unmistakenly doesn't, he's there for Lileon to dispatch).
And there seems to be a lack of badass foes on Dominaria for this purpose (even if Belzenlok would fit the bill, which he unmistakenly doesn't, he's there for Lileon to dispatch).
Purely speculative, but this alone leads me to believe that there's a good chance the new old faces we're seeing in Dominaria might be around for at least a slightly longer haul. At this point they're slightly tangential to the implied conclusion of the Belzenlocabal arc, so why are they being reintroduced?
You mean Eldritch Moon. Also I don't think that's intentional.
That's a heck of a coincidence then.
I mean it's more like pareidolia, but for flying spaghetti monsters instead of human faces.
Besides, Emrakul has had no psychological interaction with Liliana that we've seen. She's mind-****ed Jace, Nissa and Tamiyo, but her battle with Liliana was more physical.
The Eldritch Moon symbol has elements of Lilianas head dress so thats what might be showing here.

You're thinking of a different card.
