A new Magic: The Gathering Planeswalker was shown by Wizards of the Coast on Oct. 24 during the first Lost Caverns of Ixalan spoilers, featuring a powerful passive that supports Red archetypes and a new mechanic.
Many Legendary Planeswalkers lost their Spark during the events of the Phyrexian Multiverse war, while others gained one. The design move to reduce the number of Planeswalkers in Magic was a strategic one—and better for the TCG as a whole—since War of the Spark removed much of the excitement that came through a Planeswalker reveal. Dropping into the Standard format with Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI) on Nov. 17 is Quintorius Kand, a five-drop Planeswalker using a new MTG mechanic called Discover.
