You know, I'm happy to scale down to plane-limited threats... between the last few years in MtG and the majority of modern cinema, I was really starting to feel this "multiversal gigantic crossover threat" fatigue.

[@Zarlos01]

That and the need of MtG to rush the history in one set. Not all "events" need a full block - three sets - but two allow better timing and help mechanics have support.

[@232Skull]

They should not have desparked alot of the newer characters. This was an opportunity to retire the older ones and focus on new stories.

So was Garruk sleeping the whole time? Lol I think Karn and Teferi losing their spark is kind of stupid. But at the same time allows us to see how tough Teferi is without his spark. But Karn having a spark added something special to his story and of who he is and without it just doesn't feel right.

If nahiri blames planeswalker this 1000% means Sorin is going to show up on Zendikar.

[@abouc]

I'm happy Liliana wasn't caught up in all of this. Also thrilled we won't be seeing Teferi as a Planeswalker anymore.

Hopefully my boy Garruk shows up in the Eldraine set as a walker still. He is the protector of the twins after they saved him.

[@rafaelsantos-nl9jd]

that is not exacly a good thing, Garruk story arc is 99% done, the twins are basically the onnly thing still making his character relevant, and based on the news the Twins will fight each other. I can easily see he making some type of sacrifice to stop the fight or maybe even giving his spark to one of the twins

[@OmnivoreMacrophage]

I definitely want to see my favorite planeswalker, Jace Beleren, still holding his spark. But I also think the story deserve a break from him. I want to see him return at some point when they decide that it's time for a new multiplanar threat, which I'm sure will eventually happen (Emrakul breaking free, the slivers, Nicol Bolas being set loose, New Phyrexia phasing back in, whatever), and round up another Gatewatvh. Alternatively, let him return as the Guildpact again, for good this time.

[@snakeman830]

Alternatively, let's see him and Vraska on Ixalan. You know, the last place they could just be happy?

[@ManaDrain315]

We just got a two year break from Jace and already need another one. Yeah he was overused for many years.

[@williestroker3404]

You don't think he'll finally become the villain? Discarding the personal and embracing the compleation is an aspect of his charater. When first introduced they implied he walked a line between good and evil. imo it could be the best thing to happen to mature his character started in the identityless mental-reset phases.

[@yaboibolas197]

1) The Planeswalkers I'm upset to see lose there spark are Sarkahn, Tyvar, and Koth. My reasons for them are quite simple. Starting with Sarkahn, we know of the other Dragons out there such as Beledros Witherbloom, Galazeth Prismari, and even some of the Kami Dragons from Kamigawa that I would have loved Sarkahn to interact with and many others that we've seen appear in these recent sets. Tyvar, he was a key player in the role of New Phyrexia's heist mission gta style lol. BUT, he didn't get much time to roam where he pleased or wanted to visit. He got Dominaria, New Phyrexia, and back to Kaldheim? Nope, he deserved better. Koth, he should have kept his spark. Same with Tyvar, he didn't get to do a whole lot of planeswalking recently, granted that was due to Koth being a super hero fighting against New Phyrexia, but there's more they could have done with him. I would have loved to see an different interaction with Chandra than just meeting her and Wrenn on New Phyrexia.

[@snakeman830]

I wanted to see more Tyvar primarily because the story could honestly use more of his himbo energy. The guy didn't even realize he left Kaldheim for his first planeswalk (which was to Zendikar).

Ob Nixilis´ Flavortext gives hope that the Maestro are not all lost since in the story of march of the mashines it seemed like only Phabine and Errant (even tho she isn´t really a member) had survived while the rest of the family got turnes into phyrexians Also Sarkhan AND Narset being stucked on Tarkir could mean that we get to see the plane again and maybe there is a fight between the two trying to reverse the timeline (which in fact would set Nicol Bolas Free again probably)

I'm glad they pruned down the number of planeswalkers. There were too many and a lot of them weren't really very good characters. I would like to see more Sorin content that actually shows what he is capable of. For being one of the oldest planeswalkers aside from Bolas and Ugin, he always seems very underpowered, when he should be able to pretty much annihilate most other beings with a gesture.

I do wonder how the Great Pruning will affect the leftover Phryxian Planeswalkers like Jace and Vraska.

I am really hoping that those two are back to their right minds and still have their sparks, but physically are still phyrexian. I am also really hoping we see them again in Lost Caverns of Ixalan.

[@raiserofchickens]

I remember when Teferi sacrificed his spark to heal the time rifts and stop the multuverse from being torn apart. I remember when Tefwei got it back again. Only way to be sparkless planeswalker is to be dead, otherwise, the writers will make it come back eventually when they need that character to be badges and relevant again.

They picked the ones that they barely developed and completed their stories for and the ones that they kept shafting like karn nissa and nahiri.

Where did you get this info from? Not saying your wrong but where did it come from?

[@akilianl.8313]

Congratulations on your new position with wotc

[@raydexter9013]

I wonder if there is anything behind having so many arena of the planswalkers game's Plainswalkers lose their spark?

[@werefrogofassyria6609]

Ever since Time Spiral block, the spark hasn't meant that much. Of course, that block changed what the spark was to create a problem that didn't exist before so it could fix it by ruining it.

[@patrickgonz]

We now know that Vraska and Jace also lost their sparks. At least based on the cards that I saw from the latest test.

[@curtisroux9157]

There's still a major threat in existence. Ashiok is still plotting in the background

[@snakeman830]

I'm not sure Ashiok is a threat, per se. They just enjoy terrifying people.

[@curtisroux9157]

@@snakeman830 Possibly. But they've been doing research and experimentation in the background. Gotta be gearing up for something

[@sirinix1]

Well it’s no wonder that the fabric of the multiverse is in such a mess of a state… they swapped out an entire plane, for a city. That doesn’t equal out

[@SilverSoujiro]

If Garruk doesn't make a come back in wilds of Eldraine im going postal

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

What i want to know i,s how is this different than Bolas desparking people? like why aren't the desparked walkers dying after losing their spark?

[@adamwise3404]

If Nissa suddenly "got better" then all the walkers will get their sparks back because marketing. After the so called "story" of March of the Machines I've compleatly given up on any idea of a decent story out of Wizards.

what happened to the mirran resistance? are they just abandoned?
