During the events of the "Time Spiral" block, Dominaria was on the verge of reality tearing apart and the plane being unmade (and since Dominaria is the hub of the Magic universe, all other planes would fall soon after), mostly due to the various apocalypses the plane has been subjected to throughout the eons. The storyline ended with the rifts healed, but at a price; many of the old-style Planeswalkers gave up their Sparks, or in some cases, their lives, to fix the problem. The nature of the Spark itself had changed as well. The odds of being born with (and igniting) the Spark were about the same, but new-style Planeswalkers aren't nearly as powerful; they're mortal, and can't take other people with them as easily as their predecessors. They can't create their own worlds or shapeshift on a whim anymore, either. They are, however, "weak" enough to be printed on Magic cards without destroying game balance, and are exclusively in the Mythic Rare rarity slot (with the exception of the Lorwyn blocknote  and War of the Sparknote ).

These pages are for Planeswalkers whose spark ignited after The Mending took place, not just those who were introduced afterward. Despite their first appearance being years after the event in question, Planeswalkers like Nahiri and Ugin belong in the pre-Mending category.

NOTE: Spoilers up through the most recent set (as of now, March of the Machine) may be unmarked.

Gatewatch

"I will keep watch."

A group of Planeswalkers who vowed to keep the multiverse safe from interplanar threats which only they can handle. Since the group was formed on the plane of Zendikar in order to stop the Eldrazi, they have become a central part of Magic's storyline and were key in opposing Nicol Bolas's master plan.

  • Current Members: Ajani Goldmane, Chandra Nalaar, Liliana Vess, Kaya Cassir
  • Former Members: Gideon Juranote , Nissa Revanenote , Jace Belerennote , Teferi Akosanote

Those that could leave, and those that chose to stay

  • Dare to Be Badass: The majority of the Gatewatch's members have faced these moments before. Be it by tyrants, petty gods, warmongers, or Knight Templar-ish law enforcers, they have taken the active side and fought to stop their enemies. On Ravnica, during the events of War of the Spark, they encouraged fellow planeswalkers to stand and fight against Bolas or even join the group.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: The Gatewatch accepts Black-aligned planeswalkers to its ranks as well as any other planeswalker who wants to protect the multiverse.
  • 11th-Hour Ranger: Liliana is the last of the original five to become a member of the Gatewatch after the other four band together on Zendikar, joining forces with them for the final battle with Emrakul on Innistrad, where her army of zombies turns the tide against the Eldrazi-corrupted.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Jace (Melancholic), Gideon (Choleric), Chandra (Sanguine), Nissa (Phlegmatic), and Liliana (Eclectic).
  • Mission Control: Lavinia, Jace's guildpact assistant, is in charge of maintaining the Gatewatch's "headquarters" on Ravnica and knows that the members are planeswalkers.
