6 is a lot especially as Bolas will take 320k to lv up the others only 80k, I’m a bit low on runes now which ones would you get?

    Depending how good Bolas is, I'd like having another UR planeswalker around. Saheeli just doesn't do it for me.

    In all honesty if I had to pick between another Bolas and, say, Ral Zarek, I'd probably pick the latter, since he would probably have better mana gains and blue and red and potent enough as a combination to handle things on their own without needing black.

    As for the mono colored ones... meh! You guys know that after you have a certain planeswalker collection, monocolored planeswalkers rarely cut it for competitive play. (no, I don't even play Koth)

    It really depends on abilities.  Bolas should be good regardless, but the mono colors could be anything.  I could see myself getting Vivien or Sarkhan if they are good (then again I am partial to Green and Sarkhan).

    I'll end up getting them all because that's what I do.  Purchase for cash is unlikely unless there's a killer bundle.  6 is too many to be overly excited about.

    I'd hope they differentiate themselves enough from the rest to be compelling to use.  I don't need yet another zombie ability Liliana with a low support cap, for example.

    I know it doesn't match the set, but it would've been kinda cool to get a 2nd 3-color planeswalker that wasn't another Bolas.

    Starting to feel like mtgpq is the Bolas Show, staaaarrrrriiing Bolas!!! and a few extra monocolored unmentionables...

    It's been done before with Elspeth in Amonkhet.  Be fun to try out other 3 color combinations that aren't Grixis.

    Been arguing about this fact for ages... about all mono pw. Gideon isn't much different from his other versions as is liliana. If these new PW have interesting variations then yes I will get them. But if not, then no.

    First of all, the Bolas Show is because of how the paper story is going.  Bolas is front and center as the main bad guy, so he's getting featured a lot (Core 19 is basically Bolas: Origins)

    As for 3 color walkers, are there even other ones to use?  There is a 3 color Tammyo from Innistrad, and I'm pretty sure that's it.  Maybe 1 more.

    haha yeah I get that the Bolas Show is because of paper magic, but Theros Elpeth had nothing to do with Amonkhet and they still were able to get away with releasing her then.

    Sarkhan would be the 3rd option, though now wouldn't be a bad time to release an Ugin or an Unstable Urza ;)

    But would you pick bolas over bolas?

    We'll just have to wait and find out?  I may stick with the old one purely for leveling purposes.  **** he's needy

    I heard you wanted some Bolas, so I picked you up a triple-Bolas supreme with some Bolas on the side and an extra large Bolas to drink.  I know you didn't want the kiddy-meal but it came with the tiny Bolas action-figure, so I got you that too: A McBolas jr. and a little cup of Bolas pudding.  Enjoy!

    this makes me want to revive my Story-time about Bolas, but it's 10 days into necro-thread range. :(

    None. Mono colors aren't worth it compared to duals and I've already got Bolas 1. I have neither a need or a desire for a Bolas 2 with the same colors and different abilities.

    Give us W/U/G Tamiyo from Innistrad and I'd get her in a heartbeat.

    I think if they released the W/U/G Tamiyo they would make profit records.  She would by definition be the most powerful walker out there, though, unless they really handcuffed her deckbuilding and managains.

    Then again, that's probably why they haven't made her.

    I have been using mono-walkers a lot more recently with all the good gem converters that really shine in mono (dowsing dagger is awesome in mono) and with the new land support buffs it may make them even better but I don't need another Zombie lil and red is covered between Jaya and Koth, blue is strong no matter what, the Gideon's are all similar and Elspeth is the white Koth, but I'm most looking forward to Vivian because mono-green needs a boost as the Nissa's are not that good and Garruk is effective but a one trick pony (I own Ghalta). It all depends on the abilities imo though, say if Ajani W is a completely different play-style than the other ones in white that would be fun (similar to how Jaya and Koth play differently). I'll also get Nicol because I don't have enough deck-slots to try all the funky combos I want to in B/U/R.

    I'll get them all because I like having everything, but getting all the cards is way in the future at best. Still waiting for Tezz1 to show up in the vault again to complete my collection…

    depends really on mana gains, the mono just cant compete with the gains they have/had in the past sets( to gimmicky that are useless after they rotate out)

    Depends on how they implement them, but Sarkhan and Tezzeret are the only ones I play in paper magic. Hopefully they're equally good here.

    Bolas I'm sick to death of, both in the paper game, and seeing him in matches here.

    Yeah I used Saheeli lots of the time but since KLD block went out of standard not anymore and yeah hardly use Koth either, I might get Bolas depends on his abilities he shouldn’t be a transformed PW but would be cool if they make a creature mythic of him to
