{+1} Creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain haste until end of turn.
{0} Create a 1/1 red Devil creature token with "When this creature dies, it deals 1 damage to any target."
{-6} You get an emblem with "At the end of your first combat phase on your turn, untap target creature you control. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.

Well, a fallen Angel she counts as devil in D&D but she still has her feathered wings and looks like a corrupted angel. She protects herself and she can ulti rather fast. The emblem will only untap one creature to attack again, tho. Vigilance creatures would get around that. The haste part is nice, too.
I always really liked this character in the Avernus campaign. Although being mono-red is a surprise, I would expect her to be Mardu or at least Black-Red.
I looked up her alignment and it is Lawful Evil. So Mardu would have been a good fit.
The set is replacing a core set. Normally they have a mono colored planeswalker cycle in core sets. The fire and the temper of this character is leading to red at least visually.
For 4 mana this seems a really bad planeswalker. The +1 style effect has never been good on planeswalkers, a better version of the effect was on Sarkhan Vol, and that was still unplayable a decade ago, let and out today. Not being able to do anything to the opponent's side of the board seems really bad for a 4 mana red planeswalker. The 0 is kinda meh, it does the bare minimum to protect the planeswalker at best, but then what are you protecting this planeswalker for, as the ultimate is one of the most average I can remember.

Remember that this set functionally replace a Core Set and as usual of Core Sets, they need five monocolor PW (with occasional sixth multicolor/colorless PW for very special lore reasons).

I'm not actually sure on the source of this. Mythicspoiler.com lists it as LOTUS CHANNEL, but their preview card was in Japanese and this card wasn't on their video at all.EDIT: VIA https://www.facebook.com/MagicTheGathering.apac/photos/a.684754104926787/4110246462377517/
with a rather bland card.

Spoiler EditorIf mono-red survives rotation, this might be a key player.

Card is ok, looks like a rejected Tibalt card tho.
Is not an argument. Font can be squeezed, they do it all the time, especially when translating in other languages.
