Possibility of Yanling and Yanggu Returns

Will we ever see anymore of Mu Yanling and/or Jiang Yanggu? How about their homeplane, the Plane of Mountains and Seas?

I think there’s a better chance of seeing the planeswalkers than their home plane, but both are possibilities.

Trivia on Mu Yanling

Hello Maro! It's finally my birthday and I would like to request a piece of trivia on Mu Yanling :)

Yanling was designed as part of a core set-like product specifically created for the Chinese market. I believe she’s inspired by Chinese mythology. Happy Birthday!

Blue Planeswalker's Water Manipulation

Can we see a blue planeswalker that is more about manipulating water?

I believe with Thassa’s Bident, Kiora can manipulate water. EDIT: Also, Mu Yanling.

Future of Global Series

It's been two years since Jiang Yanggu and Mu Yanling debuted. Can you say whether Global Series will be a series?

It was created to do an introductory product for the Chinese market. If we have the need for another introductory product in a new country, I assume we’d consider it.

Plane Naming Confirmation

Does Plane of Mountains and Seas (homeworld of Jiang Yanggu and Mu Yanling) have an actual, albeit uknown to us name?

I believe that is the name.

Jiang Yanggu Mu Yanling

Planeswalkers' Origin Planes

Are Mu Yanling and Jiang Yanggu from the same plane that Portal second and third age take place on?

I do not believe so.

Jiang Yanggu Mu Yanling Portal

Naming Cultural Respect

Why are Mu Yanling and Jiang Wanggu always referred to by their full names on their cards, instead of (like most other planeswalkers) their given name? E.g. why not “Yanling, Sky Dancer”?

Because the fact that their familiar name is second (that’s how Chinese names are ordered) tends to throw people.

Missed Card Mention

What, no "Mu Yanling, Air Supply?"

Oops. I should have included that.

Core20 Legends Background

Do we know what planes the Core20 legends are from? In the past we've had members of the creative team break stuff like that down for us, like with commander legendaries, but it seems to have waned recently.

Ajani is from the Naya shard of Alara. Mu Yanling is from the Plane of Mountain and Seas.Sorin is from Innistrad.Chandra is from Kaladesh.Vivien is from Skalla, a plane that has been destroyed.

Set Confirmation Status

Can you confirm that the next set ISN'T "the Plane of Mountains and Seas" that Jiang Yanggu and Mu Yanling are from?

I can confirm nothing. Well, other than it’s a new plane because I already confirmed that.

Planeswalker Costing

Hello Mark,I am excited to see mu yanling in standard. Since I love 2 cmc planeswalkers I keep wondering if she could have received a more aggressive cmc (UU) without being broken. What do you think?

A lot of time was spent costing her correctly for Standard. She’s the cost she needs to be.

Planeswalker Set Presence

Why wasn't there a mu yanling card when jiang had one? Was it because there were already too many planeswalkers?

The two Chinese-inspired planeswalkers don’t have to always co-exist in sets together.

Novel Character Mention

PSA: Mu Yanling was in War of the Spark's novel.

Garruk Yanling Plans

Are the plans for Garruk and the plans for Mu Yanling the same?.

Not necessarily.

Mu Yanling's Future

What was the reason to not include the other blue planeswalker? Also did she even go to Ravnica?

Fear not, we have plans for Mu Yanling.

Blue Fear Mu Yanling Planeswalkers

Mu Yanling's Appearance

Do you know if Mu Yanling is gonna make an appearance in the WAR storyline, even if she doesn’t have a card in the set?

I don’t believe so. I gave faith we’ll see her again though.

Bringing Back Planeswalkers

Since jiang yanggu has made a debut in standard (and probably mu yanling will also show up in the future) are there any plans also for Aminatou or Estrid? I would really like to see them play a part within Magic history (even a minor role would be fine

We’re always looking to bring back known planeswalkers where we can. Note that monocolor planeswalkers are easier to work in than three-color.

Mu Yanling Plans

Does Yanling show up in the story at all? It seems weird to only include one of the two Global Series planeswalkers.

We have plans for Mu Yanling. They just don’t include War of the Spark.
