Title: War of the Spark Promo theories
Post by: Firegriff on March 16, 2019, 04:58:44 pm

I haven't seen them announce the Buy a Box promo card yet, so I wondered what everyone hopes for or thinks it will likely be.  I think it would be great to do a Full Art Stainglass variant of Oath of Teferi (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Oath+of+Teferi).  It would fit the Planeswalker theme, would keep a card in Standard that is Planeswalker relevant as Dominaria drops and not be so overpowered that it would disrupt (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Disrupt) other deck types.  Alternately, a new form of The Immortal Sun (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=The+Immortal+Sun) would be in flavor and feature a Legendary Artifact that will definitely be in Ravnjca, maybe call it Immortal Sun Unlocked?

I've heard a lot of talk about Tezzeret being absent from all the things shown so far, such as the stained glass pictures.

It could be possible that they take a different approach and have various promos? While not all of the planeswalkers in existence were shown on the stained glass, someone like Tezzeret seems odd to exclude (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Exclude).

Tezzeret would make sense given the theme of the deck. He does seem to be oddly absent.

Looks like Tez is the BaB for WAR if this is to be believed.

Looks like we now know what the BaB is...

I can almost guarantee that he will be going into Affinity decks.  The plus ability is insane.  The +2 and the -3 abilities should have been flipped at the least.
