I'm not sure why adding legendary to planeswalkers were necessary. Seems like it would have just been easier to combine the planeswalker and legendary rules together in a way, unless we'll see non legendary planeswalkers going forward, if that changes anything.
I was so looking forward to a rich, culturally-inspired Mesoamerican set in the vein of Amonkhet, Theros, or Kamigawa. But an Aztec/dinosaur/pirate world staring a gorgon? What the ****? Why all at once? Isn't there enough material there for several settings?
Slow down, Wizards, this is kind of absurd.

Or talk to the people taking care of Commander, French list, EDH, etc... to change the rule about commanders and make walkers able to be commanders...

We have only saw the rare slot of the set, There's much space for cultural Mesoamerican in commun and incommun slots, also lets not forget that we are following the pirates into a undiscovered territory.

That is a great point, I had completely forgotten about that. Future PWs printed in Commander products wouldn't need the "This can be your Commander" text on it.
It is a wonder if they can do non legendary planeswalkers. Perhaps they can make a spark card that you can put on random creatures that make them planeswalkers, but not make them legendary.

I'm getting a European conquest vibe from this stuff, so the pirates make some sense. The dinos are strange, but then again, why can't the wildlife have dinos?
I'm starting to wish I hadn't looked at these leaks; I want to be surprised and delighted during Preview season. From now on, I'm avoiding leaks, starting with that Rare/Mythic sheet. I ask that any topics with leaks in them be tagged as such so those of us who wish to avoid them, easily can.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

I kinda get what you mean but people are always welcome to just not look at those leaks
I get a feeling this is not all of the sets rares and MR, after all see a RW (ou BW, or GW) Walker and. Vraska but also lots of repeated rares between Thor unique MR. It is probably What we would open in +- 3 boxes(11x11=121,36x3=108), also some of the rares reapeat them self.
We probably saw almost all of the rares and 1/2 of the MR
As wrong as it is that someone stole this, along with ruining things for WotC and some players, I do wonder if it's possible to buy sheets like this or if you can frame your own sheet of cards. I'd love a big frame of a foil set.
Unbelievable we may learn the whole ixalan set before hour of devastation set is revealed.
But hey at long last a pirate legend that tribal support that's grixis UBR

The picture above is the complete 121 card rare sheet. 11 across, 11 down. Contains 2 of each of the 53 rares in the set, and one of each of the 15 mythics. This has been typical numbers for large-sets-without-flip-cards for a while now.
Leak is either internal, and intentional on the part of WotC, or somebody is trying to get a ransom from WotC, as we can now see this wasn't just a couple of quick pics snapped before somebody got caught.

FREE MODERN. Break the Standard link.
I play Magic: the Gathering, not Magic: the Commandering.
All of this leaked *after* we find out the theme of the set?
Look, a sceptical attitude is usually the right one to have, but this leak happened one day after Ixalan was announced. To assume that any faker could read about Ixalan's theme and then think up all those cards and find appropriately themed art for them within a single day is just plain ludicrous.

giving away your vantage is not really the right way to demand a ransom.
Now whoever demanded that ipothetical ransom has no leverage and a whole lot of legal issues if WotC decides to press charges.
Or they have pics of other sets. Dominaria maybe?

Also, I must say how much I love
that Blue is stealing things again in a major way

Blurry phone pics.
Underwhelming card quality.
All of this leaked *after* we find out the theme of the set? And none of y'all seem the least bit suspicious? Not saying they're for sure fake, but...
Check out my competitive Ezuri, Claw of Progress primer!
Lol this set looks amazing. Can't wait to ramp so hard into dinosaurs that I use to defend my way of life from raiding pirates. Awe...some..!
This feels like ARK the card game

They are just complaining that we getting spoilers approximately 12 weeks early
I'm looking forward to dinosaurs finally entering mtg (for real this time.)
Heck maybe dinosaurs will get the same treatment as dragons/angels/demons (atleast 1 per set) but I doubt it though.
