that is actually a nice trailer, wizards finally doing something right ? wow... makes me really looking forward to the set.
this makes it really interesting to see, which walkers will make it and which not, seems mr. faden will fade away. we dont see it till the bitter end, but lilis chances seem pretty low too, as for me she was my most loved walker. guess its time to quit magic
Well. Liliana's finally doing the right thing, even if it means facing death, the one thing she's feared most all along. If she dies here, then at least her character arc is complete. She can go out with dignity, opposing a tyrant and fighting for something she cares about more than herself. Although, there is the unsolved mystery of the Raven Man, not to mention the whole Chain Veil ordeal. The greatest justice would be if Ajani or someone else kept her alive even after Bolas tries to pull the plug. Give the Elder Dragon one last giant middle finger before he goes down.
But did Dack just die? D:

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.
So... 2 cases:
1) Gideon will save Liliana by using his shield magic (somehow) and she regenerates redescovering her powers as a healer.
2) WotC will get rid of her because her clothes were too revealing and she was too sexy.

I feel like we still need to resolve the Raven Man, so Lilly will live. Giddeon doesn't have much story reason to live though.

I would agree, but he hasn't gotten back to Theros yet to amend with his past, and I'm pretty sure he will be the one retrieving Elspeth from the Underworld. Probably as Ajani's last wish...

Of the current Gatewatch Gideon is the only one that is expendable as his story is done.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
I think that if Liliana was actually going to die, then they wouldn't have so strongly suggested she was going to die in the trailer, as that would spoil the surprise. They *want* us to think she is going to die, so it's probably safe to say she lives.
The trailer does actually show what appears to be Dack dying (or losing his spark), though, and since he's an unpopular character who is taking up a slot that could be given to someone much more distinctive and representative of the UR color identity, I think we can count him as a casualty.
Overall, the trailer didn't reveal much about the story that anyone with more than two brain cells couldn't have predicted. The music was also super cringe. But the visuals were impressive, and I am happy that they portrayed Bolas as an actual reptilian dragon this time, rather than the cartoonish goblin-faced imp that has prevented me from ever finding him even slightly intimidating.

I mean I think you could kill Ajani, Gideon and Nissa.
Ajani is save thanks to Chandra Comics. Nissa has nothing going on. Chandra would be killable but again save thanks to Comics.
Teferi has Zhalfir and just got resparked. Jace has Vryn. Lili has Raven Man and Chain Veil Stuff. Gideon could go back to Theros but him dying to save his Friends here against something similar to a God works fine as a story conclusion.

So goooood! I love that WotC has moved to fully animated trailers! This trailer has me so PUMPED for WAR!
If Hero's Downfall is a reprint it’s gonna be liliana on the card

...Netflix animated MtG movie when?
On 7/14/10, broke 1900 mark! <3 ROE.

Ironic then that his own soul was stolen
That Linkin Park though.
I just noticed, the two halves or the trailer aren't equal. Eternal ripping off Dack's spark doesn't appear in the second half. No idea why.
I wonder if the rewind was due to some timey wimey stuff?
1) Gideon will save Liliana by using his shield magic (somehow) and she regenerates redescovering her powers as a healer.
2) WotC will get rid of her because her clothes were too revealing and she was too sexy.
I feel like we still need to resolve the Raven Man, so Lilly will live. Giddeon doesn't have much story reason to live though.
The "forward time" part begins after she commands the eternals to charge, which was right after Dack got desparked.
I have a feeling that Lily is going to be saved by the veil. Again.
