So, Checking on the Day's Articles, a New Survey popped up talking about PlanesWalkers. I decided to take the Survey and WOTC seems to have Snuck in a new PlanesWalker for Dominaria
Apparently her name is "Vivien" and she looks like she's of the Llanowar Clan.
No Idea what she might do, but I'm all for New PlanesWalkers entering the StoryLine
**Edit** Cleaned up the ScreenShot I took to show off the Art more Rather than my DeskTop
An Elf who's a summoner rather than a nature/land mage like Nissa - interesting. She's pretty clearly not actually in Dominaria proper, but I'm sure we'll see her down the line filling Garruk's old niche of "green 'walker who makes and boosts creatures."
I hope she is real, she looks bad ass, love summoners and I've wanted to see a new mono green walker character.

I can get behind that design...Maybe nail some flying creatures as well as summoning token/creatures from hand or Library. Usually an elf carrying a bow has some kind of "Reach" ability. Like "Do X to target creature with flying"
Hoping they explore putting a Planeswalker as a rare again in a set.
Dude I couldn't agree more, but I remember when they implemented the "Mythic" Rarity. PlanesWalkers were always the most obvious choice to always make Mythic.
I'd LOVE the idea of getting a General Rare PlanesWalker, but I believe that's a bit of a "pipe dream", but I would be happy as can be to be wrong

The designers have said in a recent set design article that Planeswalkers are always mythic.
That said, the recent rules changes that make planeswalkers legendary now allows the possibility of non-legendary planeswalkers, and if they ever explore that area then I would say there is a good chance for non-mythic planeswalkers.
Didn't MaRo confirm that Dominaria only has three planeswalkers?
Because of the FAQ Spoilers we know there's at least four.
Edit: I thought there was A Non-Planewalker Deck Chandera because one of the times Chandera's card appeared in the FAQ it didn't have (Planeswalker Deck Only) after her name. My bad.

Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been some huge flame war yet in this thread over the fact that the new planeswalker is a woman of color. Never stop surprising me, MTGS!!
Huh that's interesting. I was actually just taking the survey and got kicked out part-way through with the message "Sorry, but this survey is currently undergoing service and has been temporarily closed.

Well now that you mention it, I have been itching to make an ass of myself by claiming that inclusiveness is a bad thing.
On-topic: I wonder if Vivien will show up in the core set. Mechanically, seems like she has a thing for spirits, maybe? Seems pretty cool to me.
Awesome ! Id love to read some character-background. But i hope shes not the replacement 4 Garruk.
2 me hes the main-walker for Green
& i hope to see him this year again
Whats actually up with Spoilerz of new cards ? 2 days without previews now d:(
She doesn’t look to be an elf. Look at the ears. Round, not pointed. At least, that’s how it looked to me. One of the few images that actually loaded for me. Felt like I was walking blind trying to take that survey. It’d be cool if she was Freyalise’s descendant, though.

Well, it's not clear if those animals are actually Spirits or if they're just in the process of being summoned. But, if she does create Spirit tokens or something along those lines, she'd be a purely-green necromancer, maybe reanimating animals killed by unnatural means or before their appointed time of death.

I honestly don't see the problem and I don't understand Why people get so upset over it. As I said in my Original Post: I'm all for New Characters for us to follow in the StoryLines. Man/Woman, Different Races, Different Species... It doesn't bother me. What does Bother me about the way PlanesWalkers are treated is when they just "Fall off the Face of the Multiverse".
I REALLY like the "Art-Implied" Idea of how this new girl may work out: Mono-Green Elf-ish Summoner/Token Producer (The Ghostly Images of the Cat and Wolf really indicate that), I just hope they don't just ditch her out like they did with Saheeli Rai, Arlinn, Ashiok, or any of the others they just "abandoned"
--Plus, I made my first "Discussion Thread" ever on here and I want to see her go far in the story. LoL I'll be biased like that.
Her right ear doesn't look pointy to me at all. I think she's just another boring human.
The perspective isn’t great. I wish I could see it better. The design looks cool, but I want elves. Nissa was ruined for me with that retcon. I play golgari elf tribal, and I don’t want some hippy tree mage. I wanted angry, goblin killing, badass elf lady. Llanowar elves don’t have the giant ears that the Joraga do on Zendikar, though. It could simply be the perspective. Sadly, she may be human. I’d be okay with her if they have Freyalise be her ancestor though. Freyalise was only half-elf.
Apparently her name is "Vivien" and she looks like she's of the Llanowar Clan.

Not to be a Jerk...but Where/When? I honestly don't remember that.
IF that is the case, then she might just be a small "Easter Egg" for the people who take the surveys.
I like taking them b/c it gives a bit of insight into their thought processes. Plus, it said PlanesWalkers and I am all about them and their stories.
