No, there is M13 promotional material that clearly shows Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker.
It shows the art used on the card. It wouldn't be the first time a card's art has been shown but the card hasn't appeared in the set.
Has WotC said that the card Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker will be reprinted in M13? The answer is a definite no. So while it may be possible, even very likely, it has NOT been confirmed by anyone that is a trustworthy source.

Not CONFIRMED but let's use common sense. It's going to be in M13.

And Oona was going to be a planeswalker because her art was obviously made for a planeswalker card.
The question was "has it been confirmed?" The answer, as you have just admitted as well, is "no, it has not."
And what you are using is not common sense, it's called speculation. There's nothing wrong with it, and it's quite likely you're right... but please label it as speculation until there is official confirmation.

"I noticed that Nicol Bolas is everywhere. Why?"
"Nicol Bolas is the face of Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 and he's going to be in the Magic 2013 Core Set."
Reminds me already of the idiots who insisted that there would not be g/w, r/w, and b/w Angels in Avacyn Restored even after the art was out there.

I actually one a Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. Not sure if the format will ever slow down enough to play him, but he does have a pretty good set of abilities.

Reminds me already of the idiots who insisted that there would not be g/w, r/w, and b/w Angels in Avacyn Restored even after the art was out there.
There was no b/w Angel in AVR, there was a u/w though Also I was one of those idiots because I just argued that the color of clothing of a creature does not dictate its color. Look at Avacyn.
But unless Wizards is trolling us hard, the planeswalker form of Bolas will be in M13. They showed the card at PAX on top of the other 5 walkers (all hidden other than color) under an M13 announcement / advert.
Red should be burn, Goblins, Dragons, draw/discard, and Standard-unplayable 5CMC cards with insane, lengthy effects that take 10 minutes to figure out what they do and another 20 to actually make their effects work on the field.
If this is indeed confirmed, I wonder what it means for the rest of M13.
From a limited standpoint, Bolas fits in a gold-colored, fixing-heavy set like Alara, but I imagine he would make new players miserable in a core set where they wouldn't be able to cast him reliably. Hopefully R&D has a plan for this.
Plan: it's Mythic Rare. If you open it and wanna play it, then draft around it. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some more mana fixing. Even reprints of Manalith and Terramorphic Expanse would probably be fine to support the Bolas drafter. But with RTR coming up, which Maro confirmed is a multicolor set, then maybe they'd want the core set to have some color fixing to support that anyway.

That's only one of the most epic battles in the making!!!
Though I didn't think Core Sets had any revalance on the story line...
I agree about the battle, and, as far as I know, you are correct on your second point, as was demonstrated in the Tenth Edition core set, which contained numerous legendary creatures from different points in the storyline of the franchise, which leaves me hopeful that a future core set may again contain legendary permanents.
Oh god with bolas already. I used to love him. Now I'm tired of him.
However, it would be cool if the M13 set had new reincarnations of the surviving Elder Dragons just as a nod to EDH, and to give us some more awesome dragon generals.
I hope not! Those Elder Dragons have their value on the market - reprinting them would cause a drop in value - and the collectors won't want that.
With Bolas in M13, and Niv in RTR... I wonder if these two dragons will be dueling somewhere down the storyline.. BAM!!
Hmmm lets see reprint bolas in the core set. To make him seem more recent.
RTR happens Bolas decides to take down his rival planeswalkers who are meeting to talk about how they are going to stop threats(eldrazi, Phyexria) Kill 5 birds with one stone.
Niv Attempts to stop Bolas and ends up sacrificing himself to allows the planeswalker to kill Bolas?

I hope not! Those Elder Dragons have their value on the market - reprinting them would cause a drop in value - and the collectors won't want that.
Besides the FTV printing of Nicol Bolas, none of them are really that expensive. The Legends printings of the Elder Dragons each hold a decent amount of value but nothing insane, and in comparison, the Chronicles printings are ridiculously inexpensive. At this point, Collectors shouldn't care about thier pricings.
No, seriously, who cares other than collectors themselves?
Magic is meant for playing, not staring at the cards. I hope wizards ignores any collector' inspired arguments. Besides, the Elder Dragons don't have a substantial market value, and every large shop is stocked with them.
Wow thanks for linking me to the FTV Bolas. I traded for mine back when he was around 10 bucks. Didn't know it got so valuable
I want one mainly because the art is so freaking sweet, there's that and it's foil! I'd be alright with the Timeshifted one if I had it in foil, but I never got one.
Crap, wish I hadn't gotten rid of the Bolas from Shards that I had. It was the first PW I had ever opened.

I want this to be true more than I have ever wanted any magic rumor to be true. Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker is my favorite card, and I yearn to spend yet another standard season forcing him into decks where he doesn't belong.
Personally, I was JUST about to Nath (is this the right use of that word?) some Foil Bolases on Ebay I found for about half of their worth, and now I've decided that the FTV card for $20 is still worth keeping an eye on, but I will wait for the M13 release to get a foil of his planeswalker card.
I'm not sure there is such a thing as a deck where Bolas does not belong.
An otherwise mono-White deck provides the army that will prevent them from ever bringing your planeswalker down- block with mind slaves....I mean tokens. Grixis provides everything White can't do. ****ty land base worth the lols.
An otherwise mono-Blue deck...with Bolas?! Jeez talk about control... @.@
Black....okay, I admit, this stumps me. I LOVE Black as support...but I don't see it as a standalone color. Black always means Gold.
Red- I would just like to say first that Red is also a color that is Broken so your name is wrong. Put the Graveborn Deck and the Fire&Lightning Deck TOGETHER and you'll see what I mean. (Grim Lavamancer can use cards when you don't have a Reanimate and drops early to block rushes.) But Red is short on permanents that establish a board presence- at least a lasting one. Goblins can be killed in droves, their schtik is they have more droves than you have Wraths. Bolas could provide a Balrog for the Goblins of Moria to rally around, suddenly making a mountain pass utterly impregnable save for a crack team of Wizards and Kings.
Green. He's big mana drinking HOUSE. Of course he fits in a GREEN deck.
And all the other color combinations can be made from this. Oh, and Artifacts? We have an Agent working on that....
I am probably every color-combination it is possible to be, though it's really hard to figure out what it would mean to be 4-colored....it doesn't seem logical to be 4-colored without being 5-colored.
Plan: it's Mythic Rare. If you open it and wanna play it, then draft around it. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some more mana fixing. Even reprints of Manalith and Terramorphic Expanse would probably be fine to support the Bolas drafter.

That is pretty definitive confirmation. Brand Manager saying so and all. Not to mention that it is almost a month old.
EDH is a CASUAL format. Get with the program, or GTFO.
Also, the people who said Elspeth was G/W cause of the greenish tint when shebwas spoiled for Scars of Mirrodin.
