Officially announced by Wizards of the Coast today… War of the Spark will have 36 planeswalkers in the set.
Some of these are amazing, others are repeats of planeswalkers we already have. I think can all agree, though, we will suffer from buyer fatigue if they attempt to add all 36 into Puzzle Quest. This is true even if they only add the 9 we don’t already have as planeswalkers in some form already.
oof ouch owie my runes
also my wrists because that’s a lotta typing
Come onnnnnn, Ugin…
But yeah, that’s… pretty awesome. Especially if there’s going to be a Planeswalker in every pack. Wonder if that means we’ll see the Planeswalkers at multiple rarities.
If not I think that means there will be very few non-planeswalker mythics in the set. That’ll be interesting
I can’t imagine the mechanics in War of the Spark paper not taking advantage of having so many PWs available - that seems kind of the point, no? If so, then PQ would have to find some way of incorporating them, but agree there’s no way they come in as PWs as currently defined in PQ. They’d have to be redesigned to fit into the PQ model - maybe save a few as new PWs but the rest as complex legendary creatures or something more creative (unique supports?).
That’s what I was thinking, with regards to the unique supports. I’ve always loved the idea of getting another Planeswalker on your side. Like you’re rounding up a posse to smash somebody.
I foresee a reprint of Deploy the Gatewatch.
But from several months of binging on MaRo’s Drive to Work, I can’t imagine that the rest of the set won’t play around that. If it’s not at common, it’s not your theme… and these probably won’t be at common, but they will be in every pack.
I wonder if they’ll have a totally different rarity… Because I can’t imagine there being a Mythic Rare in each pack.
This seems to me like the next step from DOM where the legendary theme included legends in every pack.
I can’t see them making non-mythic planeswalkers, though. That would just be weird to see.
(but then again, if there is a mythic in every pack, are any of them really mythics?)
Guess we’ll just have to wait a few weeks for spoiler season and find out!
My prediction is that most of the PWs will be DFCs that turn into creatures as they lose their spark. If things go that way, then it shouldn’t be a problem to implement them into PQ.
If there really are that many full PWs, though… yeah, ouch.
Oh, that’d be interesting…
I think saving some to release later is probably the smartest move. Maybe pick some of the most interesting to release with the set, then put out others when things are running a little dry, like they did with Elspeth or the new Sarkhan.
Heck, do all 36 of 'em and trickle them out over the next couple years. Give us a different take on them for cards and take your sweet time with the Avatar planeswalkers.
Except Ugin. Gimme Ugin.
Easiest solution; Octagon can just skip this set.
How’s about at the launch of War o’ Spark, ALL Planeswalkers are available in the vault?
Or just realease some PWs as mythics or MPs creatures or possible supports.
Freakin’ hilarious!
We will probably get 5 new planeswalkers tops, maybe cards from the Horizons packs will be merged into the set.
I can definitely see Octagon having a few executive meetings on how exactly they’re going to move forward with this, lol.
Mono PWs are pretty irrelevant in this game now, so we can safely ignore most of those.
Make a bunch of entry-lvl walkers?
