D&D 5E (2014) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms MtG set Planeswalkers confirmed.

[MoonSong]

The recent trend with core sets has been a cycle of 5 mythic monocolor planeswalkers, plus 5 "planeswalker deck" versions of same, plus 0-2 oddball extras (the transforming Nicol Bolas in M19, or the uncommon and rare versions of Chandra in M20).

Since FR is taking the place of a core set, I would expect this pattern to hold for FR as well.

Yes, but I'm not sure what's going to happen, since there hasn't been word of planeswalker decks happening this time.

Planeswalker decks have been discontinued, to the best of my knowledge. They've laid out the product offerings for this Set now to allow pre-orders, the precons decks are Commander decks, not Planeswalker decks.

Strixhaven had 5, Prof Onyx, Kasmina, Rowan, Will, and Lukka.

Its was Kaldheim that 4 Planeswalkers, Niko, Tibalt, Kaya, Tyver Kell.

Normally its 3 Planeswalkers per set, 5 for Core Sets, so its likely 3 to 5 Planeswalkers unless they do some thing weird and have lower rarity planeswalkers ala War of the Spark.

I suppose it partly depends on whether the marketing blurb about full art Mythic Rare Planeswalker cards is all the Planeswalker slots, or if they are more common with an added style: if these are the only Planeswalker cards, the less than 1% drop rate in the Draft boosterd means there would just be 2 or 3 distinct cards.

They were discontinued for all, but Core sets, but now that Core sets appear to be banished for the next few years, I guess that basically the same thing as discontinued.

They haven't really explained the fate of Core Sets yet, I expect they'll get into that when previews for Forgotten Realms start in earnest.

Could be, but we know the code names for 2022 and 2023 and they are all Sports names, which excludes Core Sets (most of which don't use code names) and D&D sets (AFR's code name was Zebra, I look forward to finding out why?).

Rosewater said that Core Sets don't use the sports names, he didn't say they were ever doing one again. They have a two year turnaround for product decisions, so if Core 2019 wasn't well received Core 21 may have been past the point of no return to cancel, but future Core Sets might not be in the works anymore. Arena has sort of made the Core model obsolete.

Well its Foil Borderless Mythic Rare Planeswalkers, when have they ever done a set with Planeswalkers exclusively Foil Borderless? Never. So yeah of course there will he regular versions, its only the super special chase card version that they are baiting you with, not the regular version.

If we make that assumption, that suggests more Planeswalkers than normal, given the Draft booster drop rate for this particular group of cards.

 

[Parmandur]

Just conjecturing based on past WotC products, they have done Planeswalkers as TDFCs with the one side being a Creature that can transform into a Planeswalker given the right conditions. So, maybe say Driz'zt could be a Creature who can turn into a Planeswalker.
