Image is really blurry. Here they are written out:

https://old.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/b7o0n8/war_of_the_spark_preview_at_pax_east/For those out of the loop, the next set, War of the Spark, will have a planeswalker in each pack. That's why some of them are uncommon or rare and not mythic.
I only play limited and not constructed, so the thought of playing against Teferi's ability doesn't really matter much to me, since it's kind of unlikely to encounter in draft.
More generally, I am not sure how this set will work in limited. I think there will be a lot of variance and luck involved with getting all your colors and getting your best cards on the field. It remains to be seen if this set will even use gates (basic lands were spoiled in there... so no more guild gates? Or are those just for precon decks). Plus having planeswalkers on the field causes a lot of distractions and drags out games. Those loyalty counters are essentially +life in many cases, since you might need to damage the planeswalker asap. Going to be a weird set to draft.

Also, since we're talking MtG, I went 3-0 again last FNM. That makes 4x 3-0 finishes in 5 weeks B) . I got lucky and P1P1'd an Ethereal Absolution and was passed a Kaya's Wrath, plus Orzhov was generally open. Everything came up Milhouse. Having such bomb rares took some glory out of my victory though, tbh. Was more proud of last week's 3-0 where I didn't get good rares and instead used my drafting skills to find the open colors and build a sick deck (

I think limited will be fine. Planeswalkers don't really demand an answer if all they do is tick down, unless their static ability fucks up your game plan.
I'm worried about standard though which is what I mostly play, these rare + pw's seem insanely powerful. There better be some cheap pw hate in green or I'm out (better than that vraska thing they already spoiled, seems clunky /e looked again and that cards not even green, its black like almost all pw hate)
Congrats on your recent draft success. The last draft I did was on MTGA and the rares in my first 2 packs were Stomping Grounds (the only shock land I already have 4 of so not even worth rare picking) and then all trash, literally nothing worth a p1p1 or p2p1, no grasping thrulls no pteramander, just trash. Ended up getting passed some random stuff like Captivated Audience and Precognitive Perception, that life gain angel, and playing 5c random stuff with all the gates
