Ooooo, here is an interesting and probably never going to happen idea. What if they print "new" walkers every block, but they are the "same"? What I mean is, they are the same walkers, with the same names and everything, but they have different abilities.
We are planeswalkers, and we gain new and different "abilities" every set. We are constantly "changing" the way we do things. Thay are like us, so maybe they picked up some new tricks just like us.
I think it would be really cool. We would be following them through their journey. Seeing how they change and adapt to new planes. Getting to know them more.
This would also help with the problem of having "too many" legal at once. Since they have the same name, you could only have one in play at a time.
The idea of being able to play an entire deck with nothing but lands and planeswalkers seems too goofy to me. Sure, it might not be any good, but still.
Rare means rare, probably not even every -other- year... not 'Well it's three sets later, not even the next -year-, so it's time for Moar Planeswalkers!
Planeswalkers are better as a rare, once in a blue moon event, and I for one am satisfied with that.
I think there is a good chance we get a Planeswalker card in Eventide, as long as one of the characters ascends in the storyline. I personally would have my bets on Ashling, but we already have a Planeswalker with fiery hair style, so probably not... Maybe a Ashling, the Extinguisher card.
More likely is that we get a timeout from Planeswalker's as a story device after TS-block concluded a big part of the story by widespread deicide.
Though I can't actually wait to see the five PWs we already have in action.
No need for that many PW carsd - and especially no "dark versions" of the five, because as has been stated a myriad of times before: They ARE their own dark versions.

I actually agree with this. I think we may get one walker in eventide but it will be a character from the story who ascends.
Ashling is a good pick.
But did the books ever reveal anything about Maralen yet? I read Lorwyn but not Morningtide. Any chance we may get Maralen as a walker? She would be my bet based on the information known about her at this time.
great. I'll happily admit my wrongness if ther aren't in Eventide.
But matching my *lock* opinion are the many of you in this thread who have used equally "guaranteed, 100%" language that PWs will NOT be in Eventide.
I hope you are as ready to have crow sandwich if indeed we meet the dark versions of the current PWs in the final set of the double block block....
thanks.

I just don't see why you think this with all the evidence pointed against it...
1) The current planeswalkers were meant for future sight
2) they have nothing to do with the plane of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor at all
3) if Oona is able to shake off the Aurora than why couldn't a walker which is stronger anyway, and thats even assuming they were on Lorwyn at the time and last I knew it had been confirmed they weren't.
4) Wouldn't it make more sense to Book end the Double Block with something like an alternative legends cycle of characters in the storyline of the plane rather than with planeswalkers that have nothing to do with the plane? We already have Rhys and Sygg who were prominent in the books so why not get Maralen, Ashling, Brigid, and the Clique in Eventide to complete the book end if indeed they do that.
I am not saying their won't be a walker in Eventide, I just don't think it will be any of the current ones we already have.
I'm much more willing to say that a character like Ashling or Maralen will ascend to the rank of walker and they will get a card.
However I believe that Alara will give us one or two if Eventide doesn't.
I simply cannot believe that Wizards would put "dark" versions of the Planeswalkers in Eventide. Flavor-and story-wise the planeswalkers never actually appear on Lorwyn.
My thoughts exactly. Besides, if i were any of the 5 planeswalkers we know of, I would definitely leave when the Shadowmoor 'you know what' hit the fan....

4-6 versions of Liliana after 6-7 blocks come on talk about overkill.
Feel free to bid on my cards here!

I think one cycle of 'Walkers per year/block should be enough to filfill that stupid, 'Keep 'Walkers special' clause MaRo has such a boner for.
I'm still bitterly awaiting the day when my Planeswalker deck is more than doubling season + five Legends.
But matching my *lock* opinion are the many of you in this thread who have used equally "guaranteed, 100%" language that PWs will NOT be in Eventide.
