Kiora, Master of the Depths
2GU
Planeswalker - Kiora
[+1]: Untap up to one target creature and up to one target land.

[-2]: Reveal the top four cards of your library. You may put up to 1 creature card and/or a land card from among them into your hand. Put the rest into your graveyard.

[-8]: You get an emblem with "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may have it fight target creature." Then put three 8/8 blue octopus creature tokens onto the battlefield.

From where?

And translations please

Do you perchance have a source for this? And a translation? They look awesome...

It looks like the Ob leak is correct, but we never knew what Kiora did, did we? Translation please?

TRANSLATOR PLOX.

Kiora *looks* awesome, if nothing else,
but the mana cost is a slight disappointment

I'm not a green fan but that Kiora art is really good. New B PW , SWEET, didn't someone spoil Ob's abilities earlier?

Mmm. Not HQ enough for me to make out the kana, but seems right.

That Kiora starts at 4 loyalty makes me infinitely better than the original, almost regardless of what the abilities do.

The original was already very good

Ob's spoiled abilities seem to be correct, and he strikes me as really strong. -3 to blow up a creature while starting at 5 loyalty is a great spot to be in, and card advantage is always sweet. His ultimate strikes me as underwhelming, but with a + and - at that power level, I don't really care about that. He should make waves in any midrange or controlling black deck.

Now I really, really want to hear Kiora's translated ability set. Her last incarnation's low starting loyalty was a huge blow against her, but now she can actually take a hit or two.

The font on the Kiora seems off when I look at a JP Born Kiora, gonna need source or these are fake.

Okay, LOVING Kiora!
Thanks to whoever translated her!

She looks really fun!
Yet another PW that can mantain Stasis indefinitely
(and her Ultimate will end games faster than Venser's, Garruk's, or Tezzeret's)!

The fact that Ob's card is clean while the Kiora one isn't certainly makes me skeptical

Our local spoiler guy has been more right than wrong and he told us what Ob did so that Kiora is all blurry/pixelated makes me think It very well could be a fake

The ability to dig through your deck is going to be really important without scry.

You need to ensure you hit those land drops but she's obviously in the awkward realm of "rewards for playing creatures" like Domri and Ajani MoH.

I do like that she can ramp you but so can Sarkhan Unbroken.

Kiora, Master of the Depths
+1 seems to be untap upto one target creature you control (?).

Kiora
+1 untap up to 1 target creature and up to 1 target land
-2 reveal top 4 card of your library. You may put up to 1 creature card and up to 1 land to your hand. Put the rest into graveyard
-8 you get an emblem " whenever a creature come into battlefield under you control , you can have it fight with target creature" and put 3 8/8 blue octopus into battlefield.

If this is accurate, I'm kinda saddened that a previously control-oriented Planeswalker is now clearly made for a creature-heavy ramp deck. Oh well, at least Ob looks fun to me, if a bit generic.

Her ultimate is weird. Do you only get the three octopi once, or every time your creature fights another?

That Kiora is going to do an even sillier garruk-impression in those modern Garruk+Arbor Elf+Land Enchants ramp decks.

So why hasn't the OP posted where he got the information... I mean even if it was a friend of a friend that works at Wizards I'd still like to know before I speculate on how good Kiora is or isn't. Note: If Kiora is real I would happily build Temur with Kiora and Sarkhan.

To be fair, Kiora is supposed to be a "ramp you into big dudes" Planeswalker, not a control Planeswalker. It's just that most Planeswalkers tend towards the control side.

I pass on both of them for my cube. Look like I'll save some money.

That Kiora ultimate is amazing though, lol.

It would be whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control (then you may have that creature fight, and put the tokens in).

And the kiora font from BNG is different, because it IS different... BNG didn't have Beleren font. (though perhaps this isn't true for japanese cards i don't know).

I love it! the original was already used in ramp solely for her explore. This is more versatile.

Kiora's minus ability seems more BG and her ultimate GR. I guess, her pw card is real. But still, these are weird combination abilies for a UG card.

I'm still gonna hold out to see if these are real or not.

I still hope this version of Ob is real, it makes Vraska look really bad and is super duper efficient.

Oh noes the walker that likes to summon enormous sea creatures is doing things that would allow for summoning giant sea creatures and that's not the same thing as her last card? How dare they make new cards! >:[
