Ugin
Ugin, the spirit dragon, is one of the 3 planes walkers that sealed the Eldrazi. He is probably the multi-verse's foremost expert on the eldrazi. Before the mending, Bolas used his +3 to defeat him and tortured the information on the Eldrazi out of him. Ugin died shortly there-after. Except he didn't, because Sarkhan Vol used Ugin's Nexus to travel back in time! Wizards "doesn't" take character death "lightly" because they "want" deaths to be "meaningful," so "don’t" expect this type of stuff to happen whenever they feel like bringing a character back to life [1]. It wouldn't be to surprising if Sarkhan Vol become's Ugin's minion, in large part because Ugin is a dragon. Sarkhan Vol had followed the orders of Ugin's ghost after all. Ugin's home is Tarkir.
Morph
Ugin taught morph magic to humans, to help them not get wiped out by dragons.
Balance
Ugin is an environmentalist. He likes the ecosystem to be balanced, even to the extent he advocated sealing the eldrazi instead of killing preserve any ecological balance they might be a part of. He thinks both humans and Dragons are important in Tarkir.
In Play
As everyone expected, Ugin is the second colorless planeswalker to be printed by WotC. He has 3 abilities. His +2 bolts (well, actually ghost fires) a target creature or player. His -X makes an excellent board sweeper (unless the permanents your opponent cares about are colorless, so pretty useless against affinity). And his ultimate, a −10, is almost the exact opposite of Nicol Bolas's ultimate. With Ugin's ultimate you get to gain 7 life, draw 7 cards, and then cheat up to 7 permanents onto the battlefield.
