If Jace, the Mind Sculptor hadn't ruined standard and been hit by the ban-hammer, we would have had a brief window with three different Jaces all legal in standard. As someone pointed out, we have Sorin Markov and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad now. We also had two Ajanis and two Sarkhans at different points in standard.
In other words, there's lots of cases of us having 2+ versions of a walker legal in standard simultaneously. It appears to be a bit of design space that WotC still enjoys exploring
Wasn't there a point where all three Chandras were legal? D:
If all the rumours about their being 2 planeswalkers in AVR are correct I'm hoping they reveal at least one of them today, or at the very least naming them.
I'd actually love it if they gave away the name and nothing else, especially if the name wasn't color correlated, just to see the explosion in rumormongering.
I guess OP wants it to be 'keyworded' like "dies" was. What word would you replace ETB with though?
When Aegis Angel is born?
When Huntmaster of the Fells arrives?
When Kitchen Sphinx lands?
When Faerie Imposter busts in?
When Dread Cacodemon pops in?
When Malfegor shows up?
5 mana to mill 10? Yuck. Completely no change on the board for a 5 mana planeswalker? Awful. Easily has to be one of the worst planeswalkers to date. Jace 1.0, how I wish we had you, but standard might be nutso with a 3 mana draw card planeswalker
Ajani, Risen Warrior or something like that. I see no reason to continue the Gideon line.
Would you rather have Ajani 3.0 or one of the two Elspeth's back. (Elspeth 1 with her old art?) What would that do for her price?

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
I dunno. Original Chandra, Sarkhan the Mad, and Original Sorin seem worse to me.
@ilosesaprolings: Is she, though? I can't get rid of this sinking feeling that Avacyn is actually a bit of a decoy. Despite the fact that she is the namesake of the set she was also revealed very early and the whole mess with Griselbrand hasn't been unraveled yet.
I really really really wish I didn't have work in 15 minutes. But it's honestly my luck. Atleast I have something exciting to look at when I get home. *fingers crossed for playable cards*

Where were you playing at that made sarkhan the mad worse than jace, the memory adept? i'm pretty sure he was played in red black vampires for sacing your blood ghast for 5/5 flying dragons.
I bet if we permanently cement a post in this thread asking how long it'll take the time will go by faster despite the fact its been repeated numerous times on every page in the thread when the event starts!
Complaining about it is going to help too!
((But seriously: If we get just one keyword out of this I'll be happy.))

Me too, man. I don't even know what to do with myself.
I'm going to be devastated if it's something totally anticlimactic.
I feel like they might, even if only because he's only had one version...
Aside from that, I think in limited Chandra 1.0/2.0, Sorin 1.0, Jace 3.0, and Sarkhan 2.0 are the worst.
In EDH I'd say Chandra 2.0 and Jace 3.0 are the worst.
And of course super excited for previews! Is there any information as to whether or not a new mechanic is being previewed?

Return to Ravnica Draft #3 now up!
Kiki-Jiki does the sloppy swish.
Is that a joke? Jace 3.0 is completely absurd in limited. And Sorin and Chandra are both repeatable removal...
