So Nissa, Gideon, Kiora, Ugin, Jace, Sorin, Nahiri, and Ob Nixilis walk into a bar….
My God that’s a lot of planeswalkers for 1 story
Fla Master
Sorin and Nahiri might not show up and Ob Nixilis might not be have ascended yet.
Kameenook
Ob Nixilis descended, or however that works, and where else would Sorin and Nahiri be? They’re on Zendikar in the “Key Art”, and Sorin did go through all the trouble looking for Ugin so they could go buddy up against the Eldrazi.
Mal
I believe Liliana is supposed to show up too………$10 says nixilis was demon#3 she made a pact with
Jhawk94
I’ll take that bet because she isn’t and he wasn’t the 3rd demon.
Garrett Winters
Play Magic Duels, where you go through her story and end with fighting the demons one after another…and none of them are that one…I’ll take the $10
gafratt
No
Mitchel William Morris
Considering the three eldrazi titans are frozen in that art it is probably a reference to the past of zendikar and not the present, not sure of nahiri is even alive anymore, I would say no guarantee for Jace and Ugin really, I doubt they would print another ugin and dont know if Jace can really wander far from ravnica
Kameenook
I don’t think Nahiri is dead. There are also rumors of her being a vampire, another reason she wouldn’t be dead. jace can wander wherever the hell he pleases, and I don’t believe he would leave himself out of such an important event.
thatguynamedfrank
You are dead if you’re a vampire technically
Kameenook
Not always.
Gabe Anderson
We actually know that jace will be in the set, comic con told us that
NineString
Nissa says, Gideon, buy me a drink.
Gideon says, Ugin, create gold from nuthin’.
Ugin says, pizz off, make Jace just mind control the barkeep.
Sorin just buys the goddamn drink.
figured one multidimensional super being would have seen it.
Bazuki
I knew the Ob story’d reach a climax, but I’m glad he’s anti-Eldrazi
He’s a pw now, since Jace removed Nahiri’s pet rock, right? I wonder if Nahiri’s gonna chew him out for that.
Tia2591
Nope, he’s still not a pw, but he’s starting to feel the multiverse again. He want to take advantage from Zendikar’s destruction to regain his spark.
Jhawk94
I’ve seen his pw card from a friend of mine that works for wizards.
He is a 3BB
+1 draw a card, lose a life
-3 destroy target creature
-8 target opponent gets an emblem that say “when you draw a card lose 2 life”
I cannot remember if he starts at 4 or 5
Tyler James Christian Sweet
Please be real!!!!!
Dr. Storm Crow
If this is some sick troll I will smash your face into a jelly, sir. A jelly.
Dr. Storm Crow
You didn’t steer us wrong with Gideon, so looks like that’s our Ob Nixilis. He’s beautiful.
Jhawk94
So I’ve seen Gideon.
He is a 2WW
+1 makes him a 5/5 with indestructible
0 puts a 2/2 ally token onto the battlefield
-4 puts an emblem that gives your creatures +1/+1
He starts at 4
NineString
I’m just gonna call it…
SHHHHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTYYYYYYY
gafratt
Bullshit
Amit Frenkal
No I believe gidon
+1 put 2 tokens
- 0 makes him a x/x where x is number of lily counters on him
- 8 put token 6/6 with vigilance
I am going to spend more on this than i did on my first car. The art alone is enough to hook me deep.
gafratt
I hope Ob Nixilis survives…
Maybe even regains his spark from some sort of planeswalker cannobalism. Then he gets caught by Nicol Bolas.
Monster in the Shadows
And becomes Bolas’s slave ALL HAIL LORD BOLAS!

Prediction: Nissa, Gideon, Sorin, and Kiora all have planeswalker cards in BFZ. Ob will have a creature card, and ugin will be off the plane trying to get Jace to come and help on Zendikar. In the set that comes after BFZ, Ugin will come back with Jace, they will both have planeswalker cards, and Ob will also have a planeswalker card.
Iefenn
Or what if, since transform planeswalker are a thing now, they could have Ob ascend to be a planeswalker on the card.
Garrett Winters
By today you’ve already seen that you’re wrong about Ob, and before 20 days ago if you read the stories you’d know that Gideon went to get Jace from Ravnica because someone mentioned that the hedrons created leylines like the Dragon’s Maze that Jace solved…Origins was basically meant to show us where the main 5 characters for the storyline here on out came from, including that all-important moment of when they got their spark. The only reason for the transforming was to illustrate that moment, where they went from being like everyone else (the creature) to a planeswalker…don’t expect to have that happen ever again, especially not for Ob getting his groove back. Can you imagine having those inserts with a normal card back that have the names of the transforming cards on them (like they did in Innistrad and Origins, so people who don’t use sleeves don’t end up showing the world that they have a walker in their hand) for a creature? I honestly hope they don’t do it again, because as much as I love the flavor, that card took up a spot where someone who may not ever use a transforming card could have got something they use.
At the moment, we don’t know how Ugin and Jace meet. After Ugin was let out by Sarkhan in the DTK present, Sorin came and met him. Ugin, having been in a coma for a thousand years, needed to be caught up on what was happening. He told Sorin to go find Nahiri, and apparently Sorin knows where she is, but he did something to wrong her and she won’t be happy to see him…based on an article about Nahiri in a time where the Eldrazi broods were rising up (not the big 3), I think I know what it may be…she sees a vampire, and she thinks to herself “There’s no vampires on Zendikar!”….who is our favorite vampire planeswalker? Sorin may have brought vampires to her home, which would make her upset…
Gra
And… the red planeswalker?
RadioPixie
there has been art spoiled of her, but i’m not allowed to post it :/
Ob Scure
The Eldrazi look way too cartoonish with all those colors. The original ones were more terrifying.
Squirrel Lover
I think a “Target land looses all basic land types” would be epic!
Garrett Winters
Really want to see From Beyond full art…where?
Garrett Winters
Where’s the art for From Beyond?
Want it as a wallpaper
