If people are eager to waste money on mythic editions, this is not surprising in the slightest.
The more times passes, the more a little glowing feeling takes control of my essence: we, Magic community, are more or less the brainfart of humanity...
More on topic: it's a bit strange that they didn't take the chance to reprint a couple of good PWs like Kaya, Ghost Assassin or Daretti, Scrap Savant, which would perfectly fit into Modern without beeing oppressive... well, I'm sure there will be plenty of good cards to sell the product regardless of the number of PWs. I'm very interested in Modern Horizons but I'm not going to spend 180$ to order a box whose printing isn't limited like old Masters set. I'll let speculators grab all the first printing and then complain when a new wave will arrive and the prices will be more realistic.
It is like: open product only in drafts and trade for what you want. You thought War of the spark had crazy price spikes and crazy pricing in general? Oh boy... just wait...
Not having 3-4 walkers is probably not that good for sealing the product, but if they include commander godies at mythic then the set will sell a lot too.
Why the eff is a new character getting a slot. They get most of the slots in the recent Commander and can get the slots whenever in Standard or Innovation Sets. This is unique chance to get another Oldwalker and Maro probably wants to give to another irrelevant white human character.
About the new character... maro is not a storyline expert. If they did a Card for Parcher or Tempé I m pretty sure (like 60% sure) he would think they are new characters.
If anything I would take this as “the other is a character without a card or cards referring to it”

That's probably the case, Maro keeps messing up story stuff on Blogatog all the time.
Well, one thing is sure : Urza won't be here, sadly, that's pretty much confirmed 100%. Probably they want to save the "nostalgia factor" for Commander sets, and gives us old but redone Planeswalker character playable as generals in EDH, which would be actually great if that is true.
on the surface it sounds like a strange move to create/introduce a new character in a set targeted towards the enfranchised players that would likely show the most response to an iconic character of the past showing up.
basically the reason why they included serra, which many have shown excitement about, is exactly why they should have included another/more like her.
there are plenty of good opportunities to introduce new walkers, like vivien in the core set or teyo in WAR coupled with the novel release. horizons isnt necessarily a bad place, but itd be far down my list.
maybe they had an idea of what they wanted the design to look like and it didnt fit with any preexisting characters/walkers. /shrug

ah, so I guess no more hope for Urza planeswalker.. sad..
Yea unfortunately I knew it was over when maro said there’s only 2 walkers and the other one is new character to mtg and worse than that I think commander 2019 is out too since we did walkers last year
But hey atleast yawgmoth, gix, or other phyrexians are still on the possible boat
And someday we will get a black border urza that isn’t blind seer
ah, so I guess no more hope for Urza planeswalker.. sad..
Urza would just be another powerful PW akin to Bolas, who requires several cards to cover all of his abilities/deeds. Which is why I don’t see how he could be printed unless WotC dedicates a few sets (within or without a story) around him. Tough to do for a very dead character.
Just let him remain a myth, lest he suffered the treatment like Windgrace.

yeah.. agreed on that.
just a theory, or maybe they're saving him for a possible Modern Horizons 2?!

I'm a little perplexed, I thought that Wingrace was considered by many to be one of the best of the bunch out of the planeswalkers that can be commanders.

I know but they were stupid idiots by putting in the incorrect reprints and missing reprints

Yeah the deck itself had questionable cards that they forgot to add for sure, but the Windgrace card itself I feel is pretty powerful and can have salty inclusions like strip mine that he can just recur over and over again.

Really Maro have been working on MTG for this long and knowing so little about the storyline really goes to show how irrelevant story is lol.
We will see characters from the “you know who” article of the question of “most wanted for a card” but maybe not as many as we think here

We are more likely to see repaired version of previous legends that were stinky in gameplay
Yeah, Karona, the False God we're talking about you.
It is far outside his field of expertise and his time is severely limited when answering on Blogatog. I think it's pretty understandable.
