As we gonna get spoilers soon I figured I'd toss this up;

What we know;

-Teferi is in the set as the focus.

From Maro;


- A brand new planeswalker (from a plane we've visited)
- A character with a Vanguard card and a legendary creature card gets a second of the latter.
- A popular character first introduced in flavor text
“There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't seem to grow a full mustache"

I'm just hoping it is a new planeswalker from a plane we've visited but which does not currently have planeswalker representation.

if the leaks are true, the planeswalker is a man seemingly from Amonkhet.

if this is true, he is kind of a mix between Gideon and Elspeth.

Well that is annoying.

So instead of getting a planeswalker from a plane that has no representation we are getting a second one from a plane with a very limited population due to the events of Hour of Devastation, not only that but another *human* instead of, oh, I dunno, any other race native to the plane.

Not so sure on the second spoiler.
or it could be

Teferi finds a way to interact with or bring back his home. The walker could be someone who sparked while phased out and the spark allows him to phase in and track down Teferi. They duel, come to an agreement, and ultimately work together to bring it back.

That "protection spell" MaRo hinted at could be teferi's protection. It's not much different than a fog in standard against most decks and modern is a spiraling anyway so it probably won't matter there.

It's pretty obvious he's Amonkhetian, both from his name and his clothing.

The issue isn't that he is human, it is that he is a human from *Amonkhet*, a plane that already has representation. Honestly, I'd have been more excited for a human walker from any plane or ethnicity that isn't already represented. A human from Rabiah perhaps. I have still to see any middle-eastern, Arab, or Persian planeswalker representation.

Well thats kinda been brought up, Ancient Egypt was very diverse and had people of African, Middle Eastern and Europeans all found there. Basri seems to look more middle eastern leaning and his name is arabic in origin vs Samut is defiantly more African influences

Better having nothing to add to a forum besides %$#%. Go take a nap.
