I see that they’re not advertising the comprehensive card image guide booklet thing. Haven’t bought a bundle since Ixalan block, have they done away with them already or is this a new development?
They still exists but are pretty much filler material now imo
Are we sure that this is from War of the Spark and not Dominaria? I mean, the most important thing here is this is from WAR is not that Gideon is wielding the Blackblade but that Liliana is fighting alongside him. This would imply either that Gideon turns on the Gatewatch or that Liliana turns on Bolas.
It was in the product page of war of the spark. U can see it in the thread about the name of the third set
No, no it is not, unless Tezzeret is brain dead enough to take the Planar Bridge over to them they can not leave Argentum/Mirrodin/New Phyrexia and even if he did the only way they could be a threat is if they managed to make oil bombs and infect entire planes from scratch a plan that is nowhere near guaranteed to work.
Trying to force New Phyrexia as some sort of real threat is on the level of trying to force Zendikar 2 in terms of bad ideas.
Old Phyrexia had the tecnology to make planar portals before, it could very well happen again
Bolas stealing their sparks makes more sense to me.
He promised to Ral, Vraska, Domri, Dovin, and Kaya positions of power over their guilds. It would make sense that Bolas would play the "guess you won't be needing this anymore" card and steal their sparks, trapping them permanently on Ravnica as legendary creatures.
And then, of course, there's the fact that he plans to lure the Gatewatch to Ravnica too, probably to steal their sparks also.
I am a bit confused about where the Immortal Sun and the Eternal army come into his plan, but whatever.
Immortal Sun: Otherwise, they might figure out what's happening and escape. This way, they figure out what's happening, they're still stuck on Ravnica.
Not sure what the Eternals are for though.
If the assumption is correct that every walker gets their spark taken and becomes depowered, they are going to have to deal with Nicol Bolas's personal army of eternals and are more likely to die in their spark-less state.
That makes sense, though Bolas already has what he wants.
I'd caution I wouldn't take this too literally. One of those windows is Koth, why would he be on Ravnica again, other than "Everyone is here!"
I could see them doing Boros-Agro-lifelink, URdrakes mixed with phoenix, Esper Teferi, and simic agro-midrange with hydroid krasis (for that i say they knew krasis was pushed and they pushed some other simic 2-3 drops like Gchamber guardian and they could put one Vanifar with one krasis and 3-4 of the guardian) I think it is safe to bet that they did not included the dfc from Ixalan rivals or if they did just search and adanto .
Idk it feels right that they would push an archetype just soo the decks could be sought after in release even with a recent released set and other in the making, think it would be easier to coordinate with the printing
The storyline and set will revolve around the fight between the Gatewatch and Nicol Bolas. The fight turns into an all-out planeswalker war. Dozens of powerful planeswalkers, from many disparate realities, unite against the elder dragon, who has claimed dominion over Ravnica and is perilously close to completing the spell that will grant him godhood. As they fight alongside the Gatewatch — led by Chandra Nalaar, Jace Beleren, and Gideon Jura — against Bolas and his relentless army of Eternals, nothing less than the fate of the multiverse is at stake.[10] Little do the Gatewatch suspect that Bolas has not only accounted for their interference, but he is practically relying on it.[11]
I think that basically confirms that this is a Planeswalkers Matter set. I hope we don't get the lame, useless Planeswalker Deck walkers, but pushed walkers that really emphasize how much more powerful Planeswalkers are than regular mages. Naturally there'd need to be 'Walker hosers and plenty of them, but I don't see that as a problem.
So Bolas's plan is to become a God?
Xenagos: "You need all THAT to become a God? I did it by partying."
That was a good story arc.
Sadly they didnt confirm If he could planeswalk in his godhold form. Would be nice If wizards confirmed it cause a Theros god that could planeswalk was like 80% of a oldwalker (a strong One)

Maybe most of the planeswalker Decks walkers could be duo walkers (like Liliana and Gideon, Chandra and Jace, etc)
sometimes yes, some no. Depends, u could use faerie conclave to up your fae count for Spellstutter Sprite or to Champion or have the deathtouch land serve as a bad removal that takes no slot, UR land could be a combo enabler with cards that count activation of abilities, u could use BR land if u have a way to make tons of mana that u probably would not use and maybe equip it...
btw this is not the right place for this, next time go for subforums.
huh, i was thinking about this card helping breaking even more the simetry of Emergency Powers and similar effects.
In magical Christmas land u play Tithe, then get to play Emergency Powers next turn, find another Tither put in play, find another EP, repeat as long as u can.
They still exists but are pretty much filler material now imo
And yet we got Conspiracy 2: Take the crown.
Claps for u
It was in the product page of war of the spark. U can see it in the thread about the name of the third set

He knows Ajani and Karn.

That would be dope and nice to power scale rakdos up
They wanted the mythic edition to be drafted (was One of the points of the product) each player had One seeded pack to draft with a walker.
That was a good story arc.

imo just commander crowd
