If we look at the cast of legendary characters of both Innistrad blocks I think not a single one is meant to be the equivalent of anything (I could be wrong).
Olivia Voldaren's design name was literally Dracula, Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a pretty close approximation of Frankenstien's monster and Geralf his Frankenstien.
I imagine that we wont see an analogue for both The Sword in the Stone and Excalibur for the same reason that we got Krakens in Theros. Pop culture conflates the two as the same sword even though they weren't.
I don’t see how the fact that it’s rotating effects the point at all. The thing in contention was that they hadn’t printed any “straight tutors” when Acqusition is a straight tutor plus. Never mind that there’s still two months of the current standard before that rotation.
The emphasis is on "kick-ass". Spineless dragon bootlicker doesn't count.
If by "Spineless dragon bootlicker" you mean one of the few people smart enough to worship an entity powerful enough to be considered an apex being across multiple planes sure. How is Sarkhan any different than anyone who worships a "God?"
Oh and all that "bootlicking" has gotten him the ability to transform himself into one himself. As someone who would certainly find himself in Sarkhan's boots if dragons were real in our world I think he's pretty bad ass regardless of whether he has epicanthic folds or not.
Hell, I rarely see people complain about not having enough kick-ass Asian male protagonist, like, do we have any after Toshiro Umezawa? Hopefully they will come when the time comes.
It bothers me that he says that Rosewater didn't share the name of the set sooner because they've been spoiling other sets in the past few months but they're going to start talking about Eldrain this weekend but only mention when C19 spoilers start and nothing else. Seems contradictory.

Yeah it looks like someone has forgotten that there is not only a straight tutor but a wish in standard right now.
