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.
Planeswealker deck planeswalkers and special cards have the same numbering, so it's infinitely more likely that they are part of that kind of product.
The FAQ explicitly stated it was for buy-a-box:
The Dominaria set contains 269 cards (20 basic land, 101 common, 80 uncommon, 53 rare, and 15 mythic rare) that appear in booster packs, plus 10 cards available only in Dominaria Planeswalker Decks and 1 unique promotional card (available as part of the Dominaria in-store Buy-a-Box promotion
And I suppose they'd still be artifacts if you use Ixidor, Reality Sculptor?

Other non-Bolas Elder dragons?

I didn't think you could read that any other way, but the number confirms it for sure.
Don't really like the new legendary frame.
