Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What better way to start off a quiz about planeswalkers than a question about when they first came to be? So, which expansion saw the printing of the first "planeswalker" permanent type cards?

Answer: Lorwyn

Although many sources report that planeswalkers were intended to be introduced in Future Sight; they were pushed back to Lorwyn for release. You might notice that the card Tarmogoyf specifically lists "planeswalker" as a card type in its rules text even though no such cards existed at the time the 'Goyf was printed.

Speaking of Lorwyn...

2. The "Lorwyn 5" were the first five planeswalker cards printed. Each of the five represented a different color of Magic's color pie. Which walker represented White in the initial release?

Answer: Ajani Goldmane

White is the color with the most single-colored, recurring planeswalkers, but it was Ajani who came first.

The other members of the Lorwyn 5 are Jace Beleren (Blue), Chandra Nalaar (Red), Garruk Wildspeaker (Green), and Liliana Vess (Black).

3. Which expansion saw the printing of the first multi-colored planewalkers?

Answer: Shards of Alara

It didn't take Wizards of the Coast long to push the complexity of the planeswalker cards, adding "gold" walkers in the very next block! Sarkhan Vol represented the primal forces of Red and Green mana while Ajani made a return as Ajani Vengeant representing the enemy colors of Red and White mana. They were joined by the mono-White Elspeth Tirel and mono-Blue Tezzeret the Seeker.

4. Speaking of multi-colored planeswalkers, can you name the first tri-colored planeswalker card printed?

Answer: Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker

The original Grixis colored Elder Dragon Legend got his own planeswalker card in Conflux representing the Black centered shard colors of Black, Red, and Blue. He has since become a recurring antagonist in the storyline of Magic: The Gathering, often meddling in the affairs of the multiverse for his own ends.

5. We've been talking a lot about multi-colored planeswalkers, but what about colorless walkers? They exist too; can you name the first?

Answer: Karn Liberated

While Karn, the Silver Golem was the first printed of these cards, it was an Artifact Creature. It wasn't until WotC printed Karn Liberated that a colorless planeswalker existed.

6. While we're still on the topic of mana costs for planeswalkers, which one was the first walker with a converted mana cost of 2 or less?

Answer: Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded

Poor Tibalt has been much maligned as the worst walker ever printed. It's often believed that he was an experiment in how far WotC could push aggressively costed planeswalkers without breaking the game. WotC has since re-visted the notion of 2 or less CMC walkers with Magic: Origins' cycle of "flip" walkers; walkers with a low casting cost but that function as creatures until a certain criterion has been met.

7. What is the mysterious phenomenon called that sets planeswalkers apart from other creatures of the same race and gives them their incredible, plane skipping powers?

Answer: The Planeswalker's Spark

The planeswalker's spark is what gives the planeswalker his or her ability to travel between the various planes of the multiverse. Often referred to as being "ignited", the spark begins as a latent trait that is often triggered by a moment of extreme emotion or crisis.

Answer: The Mending

The Mending (or "Great Mending") was an event during the Time Spiral block which saw the sacrifice of many planeswalkers' lives and/or sparks to save the integrity of the Multiverse. The "post-Mending" walkers, which we see represented in card form, reflect the state of the Multiverse after this desperate act by many planeswalkers, which left them mortal and with far reduced (yet still incredible) powers.

Answer: Sorin Markov, Nahiri, Ugin

The combined efforts of Sorin Markov, Ugin the Spirit Dragon, and Nahiri the Lithomancer were able to utilize the hedrons of Zendikar to imprison the three Eldrazi Titans: Ulamog, Kozilek, and Emrakul. The schemes of Nicol Bolas resulted in Jace Beleren, Sarkhan Vol, and Chandra Nalaar unwittingly releasing the Eldrazi Titans from their prison.

10. Aside from specific characters represented in cards and novels, who else has been explicitly described as planeswalkers within the world of Magic?

Answer: The players of the game

Everyone who has ever played a game of Magic: The Gathering has taken on the mantle of planeswalker and has his or her spark ignited!
