That's pretty much what they did for Dragons of Tarkir. Going to be fun games of limited with like 5 walkers in play in a lot of games. So much bookkeeping.

War of the Spark, most people I know are not thrilled about a planeswalker being in every pack. Especially limited focused people.
Modern Horizons most people are interested, they just hate the fuck out of the price. Was talking tonight to an LGS owner who was going to get 17 cases at min but the distributor wanted to charge something like $175 a box.

Plus, I'm sure they will make a ton of cards that deal with, or interact with, planeswalkers. It won't be like a normal limited environment where a planeswalker is hard to answer.
Also, if they make uncommon PW, I could see them being like 1RR +1: deal 1 damage to target player, -3: Deal 2 damage to target creature, 2 loyalty. A glorified removal spell over two turns in most scenarios.

huh? Double sided/transform planeswalkers wouldn't change the number of planeswalker cards. It's gonna be 36 planeswalker cards in the set, not 36 different characters. If one card has two different planeswalkers on it, that's still just one card. In fact, I think it's more likely we get multiple versions of the same planeswalkers. i.e. 2 jaces, 2 lillys, etc.. Potentially a cycle of them, one version before the war starts, one version during/after the war.
Plus, the teaser trailer was showing like, what, 18 planeswalkers I think? If there's just 2 versions of each of them, that math would line up well.

Oh, well that's cool, and I'm glad I get to see better versions of each picture. I recognize all but a few of them. Not sure who these are:

Did a search on planeswalker cards, none of them fit any previous cards, so idk if they are just characters that haven't gotten a card yet or totally new planeswalkers.

#1 is Teyo Verada
#2 Rowan Kenrith?
#3 maybe Mu Yanling? Estrid?
#4 is most likely Davriel Cane

Ah, you are right about Teyo. I didn't realize he's the character in the upcoming book. I don't think #2 is rowan, though. I checked out mu yanling and estrid, those don't look likely, and I'd be really surprised if that's Davriel Cane at #4. Brandon Sanderson was in LSV's stream one day, and he said that short story was something he just wanted to write. He approached WotC and was like 'I'll write a story and give it to you, for free, but I'm doing it my way.' Maybe they liked it enough to try and incorporate him into the canon now, but the timing seems a little rushed. Unless he finished the story waaay back and they just took this long to release it. Also, while they both have masks, the rest of his aesthetic doesn't really match.
On a sidenote: hearing he did that because he just loves magic and refused payment for it made me like it even more.
edit: ah, fml, I guess it likely is him. Found this image https://i1.wp.com/skkaw.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/img_0461.jpg doing some googling, dunno if that was an official wotc pic or fan made, though. I'm a little disappointed they took his aesthetic in that direction, he seemed more like a debonair guy then that style.
