I don’t see Planeswalkers ever going to uncommon. They would have to be so weak as to be pointless at that rarity. Weaker than Tibalt is entirely pointless and I would prefer no uncommon Planeswalkers over bad ones.
The art suggests we are getting 36 (plus Bolas) planeswalkers?!?
I don't see them making some of them masterpieces, since they'd appear too infrequently if "Planeswalker War" is the selling point. Maybe they are going to do like Time Spiral's special rarity for adding planeswalker or planeswalker related spells to each pack.
Pretty sure this means we are getting a WB card with both Liliana and Gideon types. Rosewater has mentioned they will eventually touch this design space and a "planeswalker war" seems like a good place to do it.
So. A face down card is not necessarily automatically a 2/2 any longer? I wonder if this is something they might want to pursue with other types of mechanics..
And can you unmorph morphs put into play this way? Based on the ruling for manifest, that you can unmorph manifested morp-cards as normal, I guess it's the same here.
I know, I'm pretty excited because we will likely be getting some brand new Elder dragons, since Bolas is supposedly the only surviving member of the original five from Legends at the time that Fate Reforged takes place. So it would be awesome to see some other ones -- hopefully one or more that are also planeswalkers.
If the set is back-story for Ugin and Bolas we could still get new versions of Arcades Sabboth, Chromium, Palladia-Mors, Vaevictis Asmadi. I actually want to see the Leviathan planeswalker Bolas battled with. I thought one of the Dominaria articles that showed the Talon Gates that also had some art I hadn't seen before for the Leviathan.
Ever since they started printing walkers it always struck me that they could actually print a card depicting two characters. The uniqueness rule has gone away, but they could still double up much the same way they can depict two characters on a regular legendary. That might be a way to cram in more characters in a set for a planeswalker war.
I think my biggest issue with the set is that they threw all these reprints in there without re-flavoring any of them. It seems weird to have Amonkhet and Ravnica themed/flavor cards without changing them here. Why change doubling season and leave things like greater good and land tax untouched?
Conspiracy was similar in that some cards got new art, but other reprints kept off-plane art/flavor text. I'm not a big fan of the new Doubling Season art, but then again I only like the original.
They went too far with the masterpieces by putting them into every set, so they pulled back and decided to save them for special occasions. Here we are, special occasion central. Magic's home plane on its 25th anniversary.
That plan worked well...
I heard a rumor that they are just going to do them in Masters product since they have started to lose their shine.
After reading the article just now I kinda wish they kept her name Rumiko actually. Regardless, can't wait to get this card.
Tetsuko is a nickname used for female train nerds in Japan. Rumiko would have been better. And the haircut is awful. She looks like some bland podcaster.
Funny how today Rosewater didn't rule it out

And I suppose they'd still be artifacts if you use Ixidor, Reality Sculptor?

Other non-Bolas Elder dragons?
We have had spoilers with date stamps
