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

[Parmandur]

Nezram

Nezram's big thing is Planeswalking, and its only rescently he even returned to Toril, to help rebuild Mulhorand and liberate it from the Imaskari.

Tasha is a possiblity.

Drizzt is odd, but possible even recent events.

Fizban. Its not an accident that he was in a UA that otherwise was FR lore.

Vee from Eberron

I don't think Think there will be any Planeswalkers aside from Vee who aren't from either Toril, Oerth, or Krynn.

I mean, they could do a serious D&D All-Stars thing here, if they are going for it.

 

[Charlaquin]

From the cover of the set, and some rumors from the last X books about how in his last book he seems to have had some kind of sparking awakening, I think your friendly neighborhood dark elf, Drizzt, is going to planeswalk soon enough.

Maybe, but do you really think they’d pass up the opportunity to make a Drizzt commander?

They could do both.

Based on the description of the upcoming Driz'zt book...he has levels up hard.

True. Maybe a DFC with legendary creature on one side and Planeswalker on the other. And of course there’s always the “~ can be your commander” line. Still, seems a more likely legendary creature candidate to me.

I dont play MTG, so I dont really know what that means.

Personally I would not make Drizzt a planeswalker. He's already the ultimate mary sue, adding planeswalking abilities would just be...cheap? I dunno.

I mean, that sort of parses for a Planeswalker, which started as player inserts into the Setting.

Oh, sorry. Commander is a game type where you build your deck around a specific legendary creature (your “commander”), which sits outside the deck and can be played at any time as long as you have the necessary resources to do so, and instead of going to the discard pile if killed, goes back to the side and can be played again for an increased resource cost. It’s currently one of, if not the most popular format, and WotC has taken to designing very powerful legendary creatures lately to appeal to players of the format. Planeswalkers can’t usually be commanders, though there are some specific exceptions.

How many planeswalkers are typically in a new set? I think Strixhaven only had four (Prof Onyx, Kasmina, Rowan and Will).

Usually just a handful, matching up with the main archetypes of the Set.

War of the Spark, on the other hand, had 36 distinct Planeswalker cards with the guarantee that there would be one in every booster.

I don't think we're looking at anything like that here: for all I know, the numbers quotes in that marketing material match the drop rate for other Sets, but they just decided to start mentioning the drop rate. That is weird, though.

Yes, they were four, Onyx, Kasmina, Lukka and Will/Rowan (they are in a double sided card)
