The Rest of the Planeswalker Commanders
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on Aug. 7, 2014, 6:27 p.m. by katarhero
At the Comic-Con magic panel, it was revealed each of the new Commander deck would feature characters that were either legendary creatures or planeswalkers in the story, but were never made into cards as such, and would use characters from all across the magic timeline. Teferi is obviously the blue one, and supports the timeline theme as this appears to be from when he was part on the Nine Titans. Who do you think will be one of the legendary creatures/planeswalkers?
In the panel video they said there is going to be a full cycle of the planeswalkers that can be commanders, just like Teferi who they spoiled. I know they spoiled ghoulcaller gisa!!!, but I'd assume that all of the new mono colored commander decks will have the planeswalker as the initial commander (like the blue deck they spoiled) and she'll be included as one of the 99 as an additional commander option. As for who all those wakers could be, I'm not too sure. My knowledge on magic lore is too limited to even guess who's important enough to be made into a card, yet hasn't been.

Maybe an urza card?? But he's multi colored isn't he? I'd hope so also they better print a geralf card or my jimmies will be highly rustled

abenz419 you would be correct about the planeswalkers as the primary commanders. There will be a planeswalker and two legendary creatures if they keep true to the previous editions.

VampireArmy Urza and Taysir have practically no chance to appear, as they are masters over all colors
August 7, 2014 6:55 p.m.
They probably wouldn't do Ob Nixilis, as sad as that is, since they just printed a new one for M15.
August 7, 2014 7:12 p.m.
Not necessarily. My guess for the black walkers is either Ob or Dominaria's God of Death: Yawgmoth. Yawgmoth was nearly unstoppable, and never got a card.

Is urborg a planes walker? I'm not familiar with his lore
August 7, 2014 7:27 p.m.
Leshrac is a fair guess for the black walker though. Freyalise may be the green, Jeska or Jaya could be red. Lord Windgrace would be my best guess for white
August 7, 2014 7:29 p.m.
Urborg isn't a person, it is a place. It is a damned plane where Yawgmoth, lord of the Phyrexians and a being of god-like black magics, is buried, except he is not a planeswalker in the revisionist lore.
August 7, 2014 7:31 p.m.
Yawgmoth whole story revolves around him trying obtain a spark. If he's printed as a planeswalker it'll cause quite the uproar.
I'm hoping for Jaya for red, Freyalise for green, Ob Nixilis for black and Serra for white
August 7, 2014 8:22 p.m.
omg Serra would be epic. i can maybe see them doing Baltrice for red
August 7, 2014 8:35 p.m.
Serra is a good option for white, but i think Windgrace is more likely due to the reprint of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
August 7, 2014 8:40 p.m.
I don't think Lord Windgrace is White or at least just White. He comes from Urborg, from when it was a forest and not a swamp, he is also depicted on two Red spells Illuminate and Planeswalker's Fury . Illuminate also has a Blue kicker. Though he also appears on two White spells False Dawn and Divine Light . You would also think presiding in Urborg would seep into him a little as well.
Apparently not all Planeswalkers are from Magic's past, just the cycle of Legendary Creatures. So we may finaly get some new and unique Planeswalkers. Maybe Goblin, Viashino, Cyclops, Giant, Elemental, Werewolf, Orc, Dwarf, Minotaur, Noggle, Kobold, or Orge for a Planewalker for Red. I'm personally hoping they do Jeska though.
Green could have Centaur, Fungus, Insects, Rhino, Werewolf, Plant, Troll, Dryad, Treefolk or Snake. I'm hoping they do something Fungus, Hippo or Saproling related.
White could have Soltari, Kor, Elephant, Rhino, Angel, Fox, or Kithkin. Though, I thik this is a great chance for Serra. Loxodon would be pretty sweet here too.
Black could have Demon, Fairy, Gorgons, Nightstalker, Imp, Dauthi, Eye, or Rat. I'm pretty open, but I think a Rat Planeswalker would be cool.

Fairy Rogue planeswalker would be nice for Black/Dimir

Urza is too central to all that is Magic for them to even try to represent him. Serra, Freyalise, Leshrac, etc would be awesome but I think it's a stretch. If they are smart they will give us Jaya and Ob because everyone clamors for it. But I could also see them going with Ramaz and Sifa.

As far as i would guess i would say that
Black would get either Leshrac or Sifa, maybe Tevesh Szat but that's a stretch.
White would get maybe Serra or Commodore Guff lol who is on Planeswalker's Mirth
Red I would say is getting Baltrice, although Jaya or Jeska is also hopeful. Give us Slobad wizards!
Green i would hope it is Freyalise, I rightly can't think of anyone else they'd possibly make.
Windgrace would be awesome but i would see him as a multicolor, same as Urza.

So I'm haven't read a lot of lore just a few of the book (some of mirrodin and the urza saga) how is yawgmoth not a planeswalker? Didn't he create the plane of phyrexia? Or was that someone else? Because I thought you had to be a planeswalker to create a plane. I apologize if this is a stupid question.

planeswalkers dont create planes: they walk on them. Although, they are the only ones capable of doing so because it requires leaving a plane, and only the most powerful can

TheRedDude says... #26
but theoretically, something akin to the Weatherlight could allow a non planeswalker to do so

Well I just had to look it up and apparently he isn't because he just was taken to phyrexia by a planeswalker named dyfed and he decided to make phyrexia his own paradise and dyfed created a permanent portal between dominaria and phyrexia for yawgmoth

Can we make it a rule to include whether it's a spoiler or speculation in the title. Tired of clicking on stuff to find news and finding only disappointment,
