D&D 5E Adventures in the Forgotten Realms MtG set Planeswalkers confirmed.

More information on that here, Drizzt is an Elf Ranger and Vruenor is a Dwarf Warrior:

Apparently the criteria for choosing Planeswalkers in this Set is "has the character traveled through the various Planes of the D&D multiverse?"

So, this is the introduction of Ranger as a type in Magic, that interesting. Bruenor is going to fit my Boros Dwarf deck very nicely.

The Wizards Three should be a no brainer then.

And the Simbul. Her planar wanderings are well known.

So, Elminster or Mordenkainen?

Lloth is impressive. She could supplant Liliana, Dreadhorde General in my Ayli Aristocrat EDH deck.

Or Dalamar or Simbul. All of them are documented planeswalkers.

Well, it looks like who gets to be a planeswalker is more "Rule of Cool" than anything else:

To get it out of the way: This doesn't mean that these characters (like our one true queen Lolth) have a Planeswalker Spark. You won't be seeing Lolth traveling to Strixhaven to hang out with Witherbloom students any time soon.

However, we wanted to make these characters as cool as they could possibly be, and Planeswalkers are a regular part of new Magic sets - so the Planeswalker card type made a great fit! We hope you enjoy, and we'll share more when the preview season begins!

So, iow, don't get too attached to lore reasons why Character X is a planeswalker vs a creature.

I mean, Lloth as a creature would be pretty silly, but the mechanics of the Planeswalker are perfect for her manipulations. Arguably, based on MToF, Lloth is a high level Elf anyways.

That's no help!! Mordenkainen, Elminster, Dalamar and the Simbul are all cool. LOL
