Quick list of obvious choices for characters:

• Ob Nixilis ­

• Tibalt ­

• Nahiri ­

• Garruk ­

• Tezzeret ­

Five planeswalkers, five colors, each with their own gripes against members of the Gatewatch (Except Tibalt. Guy just seems like he's happy to cause mischief.)

So... what are the gambling odds on this sort of thing?

Please don't encourage them.

Ayup. It's been a popular fan idea. People have been calling it the "Hatewatch". E.g., e.g., etc.

@Vitenka: I'd almost think it would be best to get the obvious idea out of the way, so we can see some non-Watch plots.

That said, a set with 12+ Planeswalkers in it would be kind of neat. I'd like to see what could be done with that from a mechanical perspective. From a story perspective, however, it would require multiple blocks to set up (which, let's face it, we might be in the middle of the 'multiple block set up' right now.) I agree that I don't know if players will have the patience to deal with two years of Planeswalker jockeying.

I can't wait until the superhero movie fad dies out. Then Wizards might ride a different hypetrain and focus on their settings rather than their "cinematic universe".

I feel like this idea is something that was being considered until it became clear people were annoyed with the Gatewatch getting so many cards over every other planeswalker.

I think having a group of villainous planeswalkers whose interests align to forming an alliance could be an interesting idea. They'd need to be at least characters that could still have some complexity and could still somewhat be rooted for to work I think.

This was the plot of War of the Spark

I'm all for Bizarro Gatewatch, and they would likely be more popular than the Gatewatch. They would just have to work like the Praetors of New Phyrexia: Encounter them individually and work up to the team-up.

I feel the Gatewatch is turning into something similar e. g. Teferi is using Gatewatch resources to make BRO happen, but not everyone shows up in the set.

If the Gatewatch hadn't immediately followed their founding with another team up on Innistrad and then another team-up onKaladesh and then another team-up on Amonkhet... we'd have seen far less Gatewatch fatigue.

Ixalan e. g. got praise for being a break following only Jace - despite following Jace of all options! :)
