3-Planeswalkers for SoI
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on March 7, 2016, 12:59 p.m. by Rayenous
So, the Planeswalkers are now fairly apparent.
3 of Booster Pack art show Sorin, Jace and Arlinn. - SOURCE
I feel it's safe to say these will be the Planeswalkers for the first set of the Block.
We even have what, I think, is a hint about Jace. - He is refereed to as "Jace, shadowy figure" - I have a feeling that this may be the name of his character in the set... except for one thing...
This would hint at him being part 
... but if you include Sorin, and Liliana, whom we expect to see in Eldrich Moon, that's a LOT of Planeswalkers in one Block.
Thoughts?
Loving the packaging...
I don't think Jace will be black. His shadowy art could just mean that his work is illegal/shady or that people don't like him poking around...

Jace was on booster packs for Oath of the Gatewatch, but wasn't a planeswalker in the set. So Sorin might not be the 3rd planeswalker for this set.

I'm thinking nahiri is going to be a walker in this set or the next

Jace could easily just be on the artwork for some instant or sorcery. I highly doubt (or maybe I want to believe) they wouldn't print ANOTHER Jace - Especially at this moment where everyone is getting sick of him. I know this stuff is done years in advance, but they know what they were doing with baby jace.

It is also possible that they print more than 3 Walkers in the set and more than 5 in the Block...
Doesn't happen often, but it has a couple times.
With the set being so large (297 cards), I'm fully expecting more than the normal 15 Mythics (Note: OGW had 12 in a small set instead of the normal 10)... perhaps they made room for an extra Planewsalker or 2.

Looks like Emrakul may be on the way over.

Ryjo: The packaging on those booster packs were actually the artwork from Oath of Jace, Oath of Nissa, Oath of Chandra and Oath of Gideon. Usually the packs have art from some of the mythics/legendaries in the set, however, since the set is called "Oath of the Gatewatch" and those for Planeswalkers are "The Gatewatch"; I'd say that's why they had the art on the booster packs.

IzzetGod in the same vein as the artworks for OGW being the 4 Oath cards, we don't know if that image of Jace/Sorin is from a planeswalker card. Granted it looks like the type of image a planeswalker card would have, but I would be cautious about getting hyped for both of them to get a new card.

It's also possible that there is no Sorin, but rather an 'Oath of Sorin'.
Though, I would expect a 'raised hand'... and a calmer face... if that were what the card-art on the booster packaging was for.

I can agree with Rayenous, there was no Oath, afterall.
I'm happy about no full-arts because that means BFZ ones will be worth more after rotation, and further on. That's why I'm holding my 2 foil Swamps!

Full Art lands shouldn't be everywhere.
They should be flavour additions to 'Lands Matter' sets.

I fully believe Sorin will have a Planeswalker card in the set. But the talk of an "Oath of Sorin" does seem interesting. But really when Wizards does something like that (giving a Planeswalker a Rare card related to them and putting it on their supplies) just seems like if it's one; than it's all. Just Sorin getting some sort of "Oath" doesn't seem right without the rest getting something.

I doubt they would send Emrakul to Innistrad right after the Zendikar block.
I also feel like I read somewhere that it was spoiled that Emrakul is on his way to Ravnica. but I could be mistaken.
ultimately, I will be taking a Hiatus from MTG during this block, like I did for the last Innistrad block, because flip cards are Flackin stupid.

I hope Jace is 
. It's my favorite color combo. If that seems like too much black for the block when paired with liliana and Sorin, I guess it's cool cuz it's Innistrad and the whole plane is dark and macabre.

Luis Scott Vargas made a comment on Twitter about previewing a "new Sorin" on the 17th. So that's pretty much confirmed for a planeswalker card.

I love how it says in the article for the pack art it references to Kord as the "run of the mill werewolf" when the exact same art is in her planeswalker profile.
