The Gatewatch
The Gatewatch is a group of planeswalkers initially allied together to fight the Eldrazi on Zendikar. Their commitment is to protect the people of the Multiverse from threats that no one else can handle.[1] [2] The Gatewatch is going to be the center of Magic’s storyline moving forward. [3]
Members
The four founding members of the Gatewatch are: [4]
No fifth founding member
The group lacked a black planeswalker at its founding, as the only such planeswalker present, Ob Nixilis, directly opposed the group.[5] However, that circumstance has led to the humorous observation that Ob Nixilis was previously known as Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath, thus "completing" the cycle of Oaths.[6] [7]
Future members
If anyone joins the Gatewatch in the future, they will get an Oath card. It’s how R&D signifies someone has joined the Gatewatch. [8] [9]
History
The Gatewatch was formed after the founding members together defeated the demon planeswalker Ob Nixilis on Zendikar. [10] The four planeswalkers realized that they were helpless against large threats on their own, but that they could stand against just about any force in the Multiverse by working together. Thus they swore an oath to stand together and the Gatewatch was created. [2] Jace devised a plan to bind the Eldrazi Titans Kozilek and Ulamog to Zendikar, drawing the bulk of the Titans into the plane so that their energy could be dispersed into Zendikar, killing them in the process. [11]
