The Panel also revealed the above image indicating that this is to be the new Stayr Planeswalker in Theros - which is very interesting indeed as this may not be the first time we've seen him - he was also featured in the next set's (Born of the Gods) mini-site.  Looks like the fella went nuclear and became one of the gods of Theros.
