Yeah I also would have thought the death count would be higher given that this is a WAR!
Ajani, Jaya, Dovin, Ral Zarek and Sarkhan were all be people who could have died and would have had a good run and decent story arcs. And would have given more oompf to the story. Gideon feels a bit like Elspeth 2.0 so I am actually a bit disappointed with that.
I'm actually quite sad that Gideon dies. Admittedly, he's not a very interesting character, but I liked the idea that his suffering comes from the fact that he is quasi-immortal himself while his friends die around him. I would have preferred if the death of some Gatewatch members would be a recall to Gideon's backstory (Tragic Arrogance) on a bigger and more dramatic scale. THAT would give some edge to him for interesting writing.
according to some rumors you actually see Lazav in the picture who posses as Chandra and immobilizes Dovin instead of outright killing him (not sure how accurate that is)

i would have gone even further and ad
nissa, sorin, nahiri, ashiok, huatli, saheeli, teferi, chandra, tezzeret, vivien,. those are characters with boring stories or stories that could end here to make room for new planeswalkers (teyo, wanderer and so on)
There are more walkers tho, but they are not named ones, just deposable characters, and yes, it would be better if more named characters died. It is kida sad that in a infinite multiverse we only see-follow barely 40 walkers and those have plot armor soo we must follow them forever :\ (if at least the old planeswalker uniqueness still existed i wouldn't mind to aways see the same walkers, but now it is meaningless.)

Oh boy, you better not get a spoiler on how gideon dies kkk
What modern cards would you even use this with? Aether Vial? I don't think many modern decks are interested in boltable creatures with no ETB effect, Otherwise Dark Confidant would see a lot more play. maybe if there is a creature combo deck that this enables, but I don't see anything right now outside Necrotic Ooze shenanigans.

The Multiverse isn't actually infinite, it's just super big and constantly recycling planes.

I feel like it would be a mistake to kill Ajani before he has the chance to try and rescue Elspeth and get revenge on the Theran gods. And killing off Jaya, the elderly mentor of the hotheaded youth, feels pretty cliche. The rest I agree with you on. Especially Sarkhan; it would've been particularly poetic to have him die fighting Nicol Bolas, the master he rejected.
In another world, Domri could have met an uncursed Garruk and become his protege, maybe even started a father-son relationship with him. Alas, it seems it was not meant to be.

You are dead, dead, deeead
You are dead, dead, deeead
Thought you were hot, guess what, you're not
You are dead, dead, deeead
Brought your adventure to a screeching halt
You are dead, dead, deeead
Your heart has stopped and your brain is cold, you are so so dead
And now your body is starting to mold, you are so so dead
This dimension cuts like a knife
You are dead, dead, deeead
What a pitiful waste of a human life
You are dead, dead, deeead
Your heart has stopped and your brain is cold, you are so so dead
And now your body is starting to mold, you are so so dead
Aww, such a sad, sad story
You're gone, empty head, in the red, game over
You're through, gone
How does it feel to be dead? (You are dead~)
Bye bye, you're history, you're through, you're dust
I hope you improve your lousy score
Adios, see you later, bye bye

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.

Off screen.
Also Domris death being pictured on two separate cards makes me kind of worried that there's not going go be that much other losses.
