Vorthos Cost Reduction

Hi Mark! My last Vorthos question (I promise): Does Vorthos reduce the costs of cards that don't directly depict the named character, but *depict a depiction* of them? For example, if I choose Karn, do I get a discount on Stroke of Genius (you can see a drawing of him on the wall beside Urza)? Or, if I choose Jaya, will my Comic Con promo Chandra, Torch of Defiance cost {R} less (there's a stained glass window with Jaya's portrait in the art)?

I think a clear depiction in art of the character in question would count.

Emblem-CMC Connection

Could an emblem (say Chandra, Torch of Defiance’s) target Haktos, or would he have protection from them?

I’m not sure the converted mana cost of an emblem, whether it’s 0 or it’s the CMC of the card that created it. If it’s 0, he would. If it’s the CMC of its creator, it would depend, obviously,

White Planeswalker Abilities

Hi Mark, I realized that red (Chandra, Torch of Defiance), blue (Jace, the Mind Sculptor), green and black (Garruk, Apex Predator) and the color combination blue, red and black (Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh) have access to a Planeswalker with 4 loyalty abilities. Will white join the party in the future?

Gideon has four abilities in War of the Spark - two static abilities and two loyalty abilities.

Chandra Card Omission

Mark, Tezzeret and Bolas each got two Mythic Edition cards, yet Chandra didn't get one. Why was the decision made to double up on those characters without giving other popular characters a card. Clearly you can't do every character (more reason not to double up), but surely, "Chandra, Torch of Defiance" could've been included over "Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker" or one of the Tezzeret variants. I'd like to think it has what to do with playability, but some of the other inclusions don't support that.

I believe the card choice was based more on the desire for the cards than the character.

Planeswalker Deck Difference

Will the planeswalkers from the planeswalker decks be the exact same cards from their corresponding set? Like Chandra, Torch of Defiance is the exact same card in the precon as in the set? Or is it a different version of Chandra or whoever? (I have read all your info on this and I can't figure it out.)

The Chandra planeswalker in the planeswalker pack is a different planeswalker card.
