I always thought that the RtR block, specifically Dragon's Maze, would make for a very cool movie.
I feel like Ravnica in general has a better foundation for making a movie than other planes. It'll most likely deal with Ravnica or the Phyrexians and the Skyship Weatherlight.
-3: Target player skips their next untap step unless they have Ral Zarek deal 4 damage to them. Draw a card.
-7: You gain an emblem with "Whenever an instant or sorcery spell you control deals damage, it deals that much plus 8 instead."
I wanted to make him rather vulnerable once he comes out on the battlefield, but extremely strong if he could stay alive. His plus ability is just a standard card cycling skill, while his minus is a mash up of prophetic bolt and stasis. His ultimate is pretty much a game ender in terms of brute forcing damage through with spells like searing spear or what have you.
While the new artwork is great, the one for Ral Zarek just looks... awkward.
I dunno, I really am hoping the new picture (left) it is not his official planeswalker card art. The original art from DotP (right), (which was also uploaded to the magic facebook page at the same time of the new art), looks way better in my opiniong, and I personally think it would fit a card easier.
UR players got absolutely SHAFTED this entire block. Same with BG to an extent, too.
Why would wotc do something like that?
th-thanks wizards!

I so desperately want to play him in a U/R deck, but he just never seems to fit in.
Extremely awkward pose, weird proportions, and overall lack of character to be honest.
As a work of art, it is very good (like all magic art). But for a actual card is feels really, really bad.
It seems like R&D had a specific goal to give Izzet the least amount of viable cards in RtR and DGM.
At least Ral Zarek is okay. Although, I would've liked to see his -2 draw a card ontop of the damage, similar to Ajani Vengeant letting you gain life.
Ral Zarek

2 starting loyalty.
+1: Draw a card, then discard a card.
