War of the Spark has 36 planeswalkers?

[bruizar]

The speculation right now is that the next set will feature 36 planeswalkers. I’m not gonna go into the storyline rumors because I dont want to spoil anything else, but how would 36 planeswalkers impact the format and which planeswalker are you most excited to see? I’m rooting for the Kenrith duo.


Here's the list via CptHaddock:

Probably has to be a really slow format, and I am not sure how they are going to pull of designing that many unique walkers, they have a hard enough time making every planeswalker unique and playable when they print less than 5 in a set. Maybe this will bring about more cards that interact with the card type.

This sounds like a gigantic clusterfuck. Given that they're already planning to release PWs at rare according to Maro, at least that isn't a concern. Chances are we might see some reprints.

What concerns me more is the story implication - we have members of the Jacetice League and some walkers allied Bolas. Most of the other walkers should have zero reason to give a fuck about the events in Ravnica.

I think another interesting question would be what would a new format look like where all plainswalker cards are banned.

[Fox]

That would make for a pretty miserable limited experience (and also probably standard environment). If they really are going to print anywhere near that amount, one of them should be DRS.

[Ace/Homebrew]

Color me skeptical that 36 cards will have the Planeswalker type...

I'll guess 10 at most. We'll probably see a bunch of 'signature spells' with the Walker's name in it, or based on the possibility of Walker's losing their spark, Legendary creatures.

Old School.

I hope this is a joke.
Same PW again and again and again. Do they really dont have ideas how to make a proper story without Old PW.

At the end i just want a non-blue and non-liliana PW playable in legacy. This will be nice.
