Planeswalker Card Count

RE: Blue-Black and Black-Red planeswalkers: There are in fact 4 blue-black planeswalker cards (Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, Tezzeret, the Schemer, and Tezzeret Master of Metal) and 2 black red planeswalker cards (Sarkhan the Mad and Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast). Also Nicol Bolas, who is all 3 colors.

There is that.

Planeswalker Abilities

Will we ever see a planeswalker with all minus abilities?

Sarkhan the Mad couldn’t go up. That’s probably as close as we’re getting for now.

Planeswalkers Design Space

Are planeswalkers like Sarkhan the Mad, going down instead of up, still viable design space?

It’s pretty narrow design space. We might use it again but I doubt we’ll use it a lot.

Unique Planeswalkers

my favorite planeswalkers are Sarkhan the Mad and Garruk Relentless, because they don't work like most of the other walkers (one plus, one minus and one ultimate abilitiy). Will we see more of such "unusual" walkers like sarkhan and garruk?

We do them but infrequently.

Ashiok Ability Query

What would happen if a new version of Ashiok had an ability similar to Sarkhan the Mad's first ability, where the current style guide mandates the use of a gendered word?

I have faith in our editors to find a solution.

Sarkhan's Future

What was the reception to Sarkhan Vol and Sarkhan the Mad? He wasn't a constructed powerhouse, but he was tons of fun to play with and it's been a while since we've seen him, which worries me.

Fear not. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Sarkhan.

Planeswalkers' Reception

Have any planeswalkers had a strongly negative reaction thus far? I know plenty of the invested crowd deride Tibalt, and I imagine Sarkhan the Mad was not a casual favorite.

None have been very negative. Tibalt got lower reviews as a card but higher reviews as a character.

Unique Planeswalkers

Are you glad that you designed Gideon, Sarkhan the Mad, and Tibalt, Planeswalkers that "break the mold" so to speak by not following the + ability, - ability, Ultimate formula? (I guess Jace, the Mind Sculptor falls in here too.)

I don’t mind doing things like that infrequently, but it’s not something I’d like to do with any regularity.
