Converted Mana Cost of Planeswalkers in War of the Spark Release

[Njoker87]

I just saw the news about the release of 32 new planeswalkers being printed into standard in the coming release, and was wondering what yall think the average mana cost of these planes walkers will be.

some think most or all but 2 will be at 6+, and some think ranging from 3 (new tibalt) to 8 (Ugin).

What do yall think?

It's 36 planeswalkers. I would imagine the vast majority, if not all, will be reprints.

ETA- are we sure they'll be Standard legal? That I don't remember seeing.

I don't know. I think it could be mostly, if not all, new stuff. Same characters we've always known, but new versions. Apparently, each BOOSTER PACK has a planeswalker in it. That is crazy. I wonder if they are going to be lower than mythic now?

Wwolf,

Planeswalker per pack

My predictions:

1) This set of 36 planeswalkers is going to be the spiritual successor of the Masterpiece series.  But one in every pack is a great upgrade. 

2) They will all have their a "special" expansion symbol that is different than the symbol for War of the Spark.

3) Cards appearing in this special planeswalker printing will not impact their format legality.

4) All will be reprints.  Except that there will be a couple characters that get new planeswalker cards for War of the Spark (like Bolas).  It will only be characters who are involved in the War of the Spark storyline who have not already recieved a new card in the past two expansions (Guilds of Ravnica and Ravnica Allegiance).  Any planeswalker with a new card in Guilds / Allegiance / War will have that version printed in this "special set".

Happy Prognosticating!

I agree with Monte, I think they'll be mostly reprints. Hard to imagine them giving us 36 new PW's all at once.

Wwolf,

Planeswalker per pack

Yep, well aware.

I should add ...

I was very bummed when the announcement specifically stated that the "stained-glass" versions would NOT be what was in booster packs.   

I might have tried to collect those.

Agreed. I may have bought a box for the first time in the few sets if it were the "stained-glass" versions. Now I'll wait for spoiler season and decide.

[Soren841]

They literally confirmed these 36 walkers. They're just new versions.

[ApothecaryGeist]

Gender-bent Jace

I think that one is Elspeth.

The Tenth Doctor

I'm going with Venser on that one.  But that conclusion is mainly by process of eliminiation.

Blind-Seer wannabe

I think that one is Narset.  And the one you identified as Narset, I think is actually Mu Yanling.

Darth Vader

Yup.  That one's got me too.  The helmet has me thinking Garruk?

*Mind Blown*

Already blown out of the water.

Damn, 36 new PW's all at once. A little surprised they're giving us them all at once but not going to complain one bit. Hopefully there'll be some that are playable in EDH.
