TL;DR: The most likely Dual Color Planeswalkers for OGW are:
Venser, the Sojourner
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
Vraska the Unseen

What do you all think should be the next two-colour planeswalker?
So far we have:
Kiora
Ajani
Sarkhan

I'd like to see something white-black (for the delicious lifegain synergies - presumably Sorin), green-red (all green's Activate-gem cards to go together with all red's gem-destruction cards - Xenagos or Arlinn Kord), and blue-black (not sure why, but I want it - Ashiok, I guess).

What are you guys hoping for?

Possible future Dual Color Planeswalkers:

- Garruk, Apex Predator or Vraska the Unseen
- Ajani, Mentor of Heroes
- Arlinn Kord (Likely for the next expansions(Shadows over Innistrad) or Domri Rade or Sarkhan Vol or Xenagos, the Reveler
- Venser, the Sojourner
- Dack Fayden or Ral Zarek
- Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver or Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
- Sorin, Grim Nemesis (Likely for next expansion (Shadows over Innistrad) or Sorin, Lord of Innistrad or Sorin, Solemn Visitor

There are only 2 Planeswalkers in Oath of the Gatewatch, and both are single color, we're most likely getting 2 Dual Color walkers in the next expansion (SOI - Arlinn Kord (Red/Green) and Sorin, Grim Nemesis(Black/White). So including the three we got from this expansion and the two we're almost definitely getting next expansion that gives us: 3 Red, 2 Black, 2 White, 2 Green and 1 Blue Hybrid Planeswalkers. So we can probably assume that any hybrid walker for the OGW expansion will not be Red, and at least 1 will most likely be Blue and since there are already three Hybrid Red walkers and only 1 Hybrid Blue walker.

Given that, the most likely Dual Color walkers for OGW are:

Venser, the Sojourner (I think this one is almost a lock)
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
Vraska the Unseen
---Longshot---
Garruk, Apex Predator (Unlikely since we just got a Garruk in BFZ)
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas (Unlikely since we got a Tezzerat in BFZ)
Dack Fayden or Ral Zarek (Even tossup between these two but both are less likely since we already have 3 Red Hybrid walkers)
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes (Unlikely since we just got an Ajani in BFZ)

like i said in a similar thread, blue-white will the most powerful. Existing cards already make blue-white future proof in term of power.

Interesting! What makes you say that? Blue white has incredibly restricted access to mana acceleration...

I personally think that if you were to pick the two colors that conceptually give you all the best the game has to offer, you can't do better than Kiora. I made my case in this thread here:

I think white green would be a stronger combination than blue/green or at least comparable. I would much prefer kill spells to bounce spells, you still have access to green ramping and the creatures in white and green are typically better than what's available in blue. Plus the only Green/White Dual Color Planeswalker has a focus on lifegain and lifegain in this game is pretty amazing. Kiora is super powerful because each one of her loyalty abilities is terrific, on top of having access to some really great spells.

Just got 1k crystals from the events.. should I blow it on Kiora or wait for a new PW combo?
