They just revealed Azor as a creature, maybe we'll get him with a spark. I wouldn't mind Jeska with abilities reminiscent of Phage and Karona. Urza in Unstable was a big tease and now that Un-sets aren't officially commander legal I could see them releasing another version of him here. Let's just hope it's not 4 versions of the original Gatewatch and actually things we haven't had before.
One theory could be a commander usable karn so we get a colorless deck plus possibly a way to dodge eldrazi s tribal deck in a pre-con
Not a snowball chance in hell with Dominaria sitting on the horizon. Ugin is far more likely, esp. since Ugin has always been tied with colorless matters.
Serra is pretty much a when, not an if, of course with Angel Tribal. Not sure if they would do only four decks and leave one of them as mono-colored tho.
Vronos and Ramaz are big maybes. Vronos has a cool design and I would love to see him, but Ramaz can go die in a fire for all I care.
Bo Levar, Tevesh Szat, Lord Windgrace and Taysir are all very likely as well. Taysir I find the most unlikely, simply because I don't think we'll be getting another WUBRG planeswalker and commander deck that soon.
Sifa Grent is... eh, a soft maybe. She's likely UBR, and we got an UBR deck in 2017, so very unlikely.

Your right I forgot that factor so if we got are first colorless pre-con here it would be ugin or someone else.
The only problem with serra is she's most likely mono white and probably doing multi-color walkers this time but who knows maybe she has more colors I mean believe me she deserves a card
Humm As it is Magic' 25th aniversary.... A Urza, Planeswalker is not out of question. And how about it have some of the 9 titans in it? A maybe, but idk WotC is pushing too much the walkers in 2018, sonds like they could do something like this easily.

Nothing is stopping them from making secondary PW commanders. They could make the main commander a PW, a secondary PW legendary and 2 legendary creatures per deck
Assuming its only one command walker per deck, the lineup should be something like:
Urza (#1 most requested planeswalker, probably 5-color artifacts)
Serra (#2 most requested planeswalker, probably a mix of life-gain, token generation, and Angel tribal)
"New Character" (Like Daretti in Commander 2014, I doubt they'll pass up the opportunity to make someone new)
"Wild Card" (Could literally be any planeswalker character with a high chance of it being a character who's never been depicted on a planeswalker card)
Nowhere near guaranteed, though, seeing as the commander design team usually makes the card effects first, then shoe-horns a character into that design.
i don't think they are going to do an urza planeswalker card. they just printed one (albeit in jest) in unstable. i think that's as close as we're going to get for at least a while. i think serra is a good candidate but she is almost definitely mono-white and that probably isn't going to happen this time around.
i've been wanting a bant commander that cares about enchantments for a while. the shard of bant is known for angels. i think we could see Asha as a bant angel planeswalker that cares about enchantments. they could even include serra as a secondary planeswalker. (planeswalker partners?) having two planeswalkers per-deck would be a pretty big selling point.
i think leshrac and tvesh szat are also good choices. leshrac is probably mono-black and tvesh would probably be jund? i don't think there has been a jund planeswalker.
If Serra happens she would probably be one of the alt commanders since she's easily mono white and I'm almost positive they are going to do multicolor walkers this time around.

I really doubt that they would make Serra of all people a second fiddle to someone else. Hell, newer players don't know Urza that well... but literally everyone knows about what is probably THE most iconic creature in all of Magic.
She's the kind of character that would sell products based on name alone. Don't think they wouldn't put her right upfront.

Shards/Wedges Planeswalkers are actually pretty rare right now. The only ones we have are UBR (Nicol), GWU (Tamiyo) and RUG (Sarkhan).
However, don't expect to see 2 returning old characters right next to the release of Dominaria. I agree with the idea that a 50/50 old/new split would be reasonable, but even if it is, I except 1 from old Magic lore and 1 from something a bit more recent... which is why I think either Vronos, Ramaz or Sifa Grent are likely.
Also, since they're now focusing on teams, there's no need for simmetry. Since all PW from Commander 2014 were mono-color, it is indeed likely that most PWs will be multicolor, but it is perfectly possible that one of them is mono color.
I would like Tamiyo, Garruk, Ajani, or Sarkhan as a commander. I think it would be cool if Tamiyo interacted with the new saga cards which seem to represent the type of magic she was using in the SOI block.

I definitely think Serra is likely. I'm still hoping for some kind of EDH U/R card that cares interacts interestingly with artifacts (Dack Fayden maybe?).
As for Serra...how would they make mono white good? It's already pretty lacking in a lot of departments. If they made Serra multi-color, what should her other color(s?) be?

I don't think Sarkhan is likely, we just had Dragon Tribal last year and that is his thing. Garruk is probably a good guess he hasn't shown up in a long time and it gives a Golgari Commander, if we get U/R Urza (I just realized Ur and Urza..lulz) and Mono White Serra that would give green and black some space..and maybe a Five Color "Pre Colorless magic" Ugin?
I'm going to venture a guess and say that we might see some older walkers revisited. Would love to see Leshrac and Serra, and I feel they are pretty likely if they print walkers in this set. I am 100% positive we will never see an Urza walker(especially in his overpowered past-form). they weren't even comfortable printing Bolas as a walker until they had nerfed his power lore-wise, they certainly aren't going to print Urza pre-mending.
Everyone here seems 100% sure that we are getting planeswalker commanders again, and although I see how they are specifically mentioned on the product page, these could also be some kind of planeswalker theme that does not involve planeswalker commanders.
"Call on powerful planeswalkers and deploy their signature strategies to make sure you're the last player standing." I could easily envision a deck focussed on illusion/mind trickery including several jaces as a quasi-jace.dec
If they made Serra multi-color, what should her other color(s?) be?
Bant, it would seem. My only evidence for this is in some cards. Others might be able to offer some storyline-based thoughts...? Anyway, here they are:

She's so White centered that I think it would be better if she was a mono-white card with bant color identity. But, to this day, there's no Planewalker whose color identity is different from the card's colors.
Also, we are in need of a Enchantment-based Planeswalker. I wonder if Serra would be the one to take this role.
But as for an enchantment-centric walker, Bant would be the best colour combination, IMO. So here’s hoping, on all fronts: A Bant enchantment-centric Serra planeswalker, lol.
All I want is commanders and support that make old mechanics more EDH friendly. A proper morph commander, a cycling one, a splice one. So much gold in magics history that could be insane with a little push in Commander products.
This.
There are lots of old abilities/tribes that could use a legend in their color(s). Orzhav Rebels for example.
I doubt that we will get much progress on this front this year due to the planeswalker centric nature of this year. I think we will be getting something like the PW decks where the new cards tend to either be named after the walker or mimic things the walker does with art of the walker casting it.
Likely reprints include Oaths, and core set signature cards as well as the new cards from PW decks.
(U/B) is :symbu: or :symub: and the same is true for the other 9 hybrid symbols with their two colors in for the last 2 leters of the code. ((2/B) and co are :sym2b:)
Alternatively {UB} or {2B} in [mana] tags are (U/B) or (2/B) T is :symtap: and T will give T in [mana] tags
Hopefully we get Tevesh Szat and some of the other planeswalkers who were the original titans similar to how we got Freyalise in the previous planeswalker commander product.

It's planeswalkers again
So for speculation who do you think are 4 walkers might be
Could this be when we once and for all get a BLACK bordered urza (unstaple urza will never ever count as a official urza in my book)
