Grand Master of Flowers is the title of the highest ranking monk in many D&D settings. I was however not aware that Bahamut fills this position in the Forgotten realms.
Also why would the word Bahamut be part of the static ability?

Wow he is so mediocre and gimmicky. He loses his Planeswalker status when he has 7 or more loyalty markers? I double checked this and Gideons effect always mentioned something like ... "he is still a Planeswalker". Does this mean that he loses his activated abilities, too? He has some ways to protect himself but I don't know seems strange this one.

sadly that is correct he does loose his loyalty abilities
Since the ability does not say "in addition to its other types" so, yes, it is no longer a PW and as such cannot use the PW abilities. (He does not loses them, they just can't be activated.) I'm not a judge.

113.5 Some activated abilities are loyalty abilities. Loyalty abilities follow special rules: A player may activate a loyalty ability of a permanent they control any time they have priority and the stack is empty during a main phase of their turn, but only if no player has previously activated a loyalty ability of that permanent that turn. See rule 606, “Loyalty Abilities.”
That limitation on his first +1 is odd. Getting endless 1/1s that grow (unless they all get exiled) is fine, too bad that it will take some luck to get even one monk in limited if you happen on Bahamut.
Oh crap didn't notice that. Still kinda lame. Why they didn't use the double-face cards for this set, it was really needed (also for the Werewolf card and probably others was fitting) and I could use him as commander too eventually.
I assume he is traveling incognito. But yeah... honestly his titor could have cone for monks in general. Would have changed the card from gimmiky to actually worth something.

The art for Bahamut is so god-awful. Not how I picture him in human form. Maybe a stereotypical ideal, but I’ve always depicted/imagined his human form as an old, wizened asian looking man. That was another layer of his deception, the seemingly vulnerable elder that can kick serious butt.
This just looks like some bad anime character.
the last walker is the platinum dragon but sadly no dragon form art.
Why is he the last walker? I assumed we were getting a blue one as well? And from the number crunch, I had guessed it would be Mordenkainen, but I don't know enough about DnD lore to say whether they'd fit as a 'walker.

By losing his planeswalker status, he maintains the activated abilities (because loyalty abilities can function on any permanent), but can't be attacked or have counters removed by damage anymore, which is rather important if he's going to be attacking and blocking. Essentially, it's a 1 way upgrade, unless your opponent has cards that remove loyalty counters.
A Grand Master of FLowers with no flowers in the art.
That's interesting design. I guess you can decide when it's optimal to make him a creature versus staying as a PW. Most of the time you'd want to aim for the 7/7 flying Dragon God Waffle Iron Birdie Thing with indestructible as quickly as possible.
Vorinclex and Bahamut can hold hands and sing "Lou lou skip to my lou!" in sidestepping harmony.

In all fairness the design for Blue-Eyes White Dragon was actually lifted from the 2E AD&D White Dragon design. Bahamut is...a weird planeswalker to say the least. White Dragon is just as good of a draft pick as the other chromatic dragons in this set.

A white dragon is an ice dragon, and a blue dragon is a lightning dragon, but I guess assigning them to the correct color of Magic would cause some confusion, eh? (White dragons produce ice, but actually have more of a green attitude, actually.)
I like Grand Master of Flowers from a flavor angle. God-things incognito as humans who are actually doing something to help the world and set an example are pretty cool! It's certainly not really a Cube or Commander card, given that the idea of the card is to have cards simulate creature tokens and you want to be able to have four instead of one, and the other +1 won't carry him given the restrictions on it (It's fine? I like Citadel Siege. But enough things have keywords slapped on that it's annoying.)

Or actually red since that color also has large predatory animals and ice used to actually be a red thing. It can be argued that all of them except for the Green and Black dragons probably would be Red (The Green and Black dragons would be Black) but it would be kinda silly to have a Red creature named Blue Dragon.
This planeswalker is really bad if you don't have some stuff to increase his loyalty.
that card he tutors is not constructed playable at all, the other +1 is simply not good enough for a 4 mana PW.
keeping him alive so he can be a dragon will be a work of fiction.
very interesting design, but it's really unpowered. low loyalty, low immediate impact on the battlefield....
meh.

oh wizards I really hope you asked yugioh about white dragon.
If you look at white dragon it has blue eyes
edit: oh I almost forgot these cards video should pop up a little later

I think they should have included metallics for all 10 and used colour pairings instead.
