Would vivien reid and kiora get along?

I’m a bit skeptical that they would, but maybe they’d bond over it not easy being green. : )

A concern Ive had some of my friends talk about with WAR is that, with 36 walkers, the average quality per walker will decrease and we will end up with a lot of planeswalkers closer to “2 mana Tibalt” power than something like Teferi, Hero of Dominaria or even Vivien Reid. What say you on this matter?

There’s a famous quote by car inventor Henry Ford (which he might not have ever actually said): “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” People can only see the future through the lens of the past. The same is true with planeswalkers. The most we’ve ever put in a set is 6. 36 is six times that. The most common number of planeswalkers is 3. 36 is twelve times that. Sets sometimes have 2. 36 is eighteen times that. War of the Spark, by definition, can’t just be planeswalkers the way we’ve always done them. The challenge of the design was rethinking a lot of things including what tools were available to us. War of the Spark is not going to be planeswalker status quo, but then innovation seldom is.

Just to clarify the confusion surrounding Nexus of Fate, is this true or false: There have been more copies of Nexus of Fate printed than copies of Vivien Reid. Thanks!

That is correct. There are more Nexus of Fates currently in print than any one Core 2019 mythic rare.

I would like to place a high five request for anyone who helped design Vivien Reid. I got to play with her at prerelease and she put in the best performance I’ve ever had from a planeswalker. Such a good card with great flavor.

Will do.
