The Guildpact remained intact--embodied in the person of the absent Jace Beleren--and Niv-Mizzet remained nothing more than an ancient, powerful dragon. Ral did manage to activate his beacon summoning Planeswalkers from across the Multiverse to combat Bolas, but it was already too late: Bolas had arrived.
Does this not feel similar to the Mox Beacon that set off the unfinished Planeswalker War in the old comic books? Here's an old summary from the forum.
As I write these words, Ravidel has fused the five Moxes into a Mox Beacon, an artifact that sends out waves of magical energy designed to draw planeswalkers to Corondor. In particular, Ravidel seeks to draw the attention of Tevesh Szat, so that he may at last take his revenge. Indeed, the beacon has already freed Leshrac from Phyrexia. From his centuries long exile, Sandruu the minotaur comes to re-claim the woman he loves. And from planes so dark even the Serra fear to tread there, comes a figure out of Legends, the creator of Dakkon Blackblade and Sol'Kanar, the demoness Geyadrone Dihada arrives to reclaim both her long-lost lieutenant and the land she wished to consume.
Since the Planeswalker War was never finished, I'm curious if there were plans for it that could be recycled into the end of the Bolas timeline. The reintroduction of the Blackblade into the storyline may hint at this in some ways? I don't know if I'd expect to see Geyadrone Dihada again with Vraska playing such an important role so far, assuming Geyadrone is Black-Green.
Instead of bringing back characters from the Planeswalker War, since so many of them are dead, we may see current members of the Gatewatch play roles that parallel the older characters.

I also feel that the storyline is building towards a Planeswalker battle in the next set. Imagine something like 10-15 Planeswalkers in the next set, maybe even all the mythic slots. 5-7 walkers on either side of the conflict and a bunch of support spells.
It would certainly fit into MaRo's "treading on new ground" hint and would explain why they won't divulge the name if it's something like "Planeswalkers of Ravnica".
More than this, I don't know what else the big payoff of Ravnica could be if it's not walkers vs Bolas.

Well the new set is titled “War of the Spark” so I think that an all out battle is exactly what’s happening. I actually just posted in another thread as to what I think is going to happen
A battle is being talked about, but over PLANESWALKERS? Why not get a more powerful enemy that deals more damage, say like an Eldrazi Titan? I really just want it to be more of a Darker Ending. One way for a darker ending is to make a battle that is far worse, say to have several sets based off of an threat that is far more than the strongest Planeswalker. I feel Emrakul would be one candidate, but maybe something WORSE. Ravinica Alliance and Allegiance was a bad ending to the storyline. I just feel it needs to be a FAR darker ending, not simple.
