Het vorige topic werd wat lang, we gaan hier verder.



Rise of the Eldrazi zal de derde set (Prosper) in het Zendikar block worden.



De pre-release staat gepland voor 17 en 18 april 2010, de release zal volgen op 23 en 25 april 2010.

''The Eldrazi are an ancient race that once attempted to conquer the multiverse. Ages ago, they were locked away by three Planeswalkers on the world of Zendikar. Now, someone or something has weakened their prisons. The Planeswalker, Sorin Markov, one of the three that helped seal them away in the distant past, has returned to Zendikar in the hopes of resealing them. Nissa Revane, a young elf planeswalker who lives on Zendikar, aims to have them removed from Zendikar altogether, as she considers them FAR too dangerous to keep around.''



Rise of the Eldrazi was suspected by many in the spoiler community as being either another Magic the Gathering novel or the name of the last expansion in the Zendikar set.

It does not really come as a great surprise given that we had clues already in story lines, in already released Zendikar cards (Eldrazi Monument) as well as the trademarks that Wizards had recently acquired. Indeed, the artwork below does show what is suspected as being an Eldrazi does closely resemble the statue in the Eldrazi Monument card art.

"Lurking in the space between the aether and the physical plane, there is a great evil waiting to emerge.

Zendikar is a land of danger and adventure, a world of deadly risks and priceless rewards. It is also a prison to one of the most deadly species known to the Multiverse: the dreaded Eldrazi.

When our story opens, part of the mystical containment spell that has kept the Eldrazi captive for millennia has been breached. The brood lineage, the Eldrazi minions, have been released and are poring over the plane, devouring everything in their path, but the swath they cut across the land is nothing next to the destruction that the still-imprisoned Eldrazi Titans will wreck once released.

Nissa Revane, a planeswalker and proud elf warrior of the Jorga Nation, is witness to what the brood lineage can do. She sees that they pose a bigger problem than most suppose. Sorin, an ancient vampire planeswalker, knows this as well as anyone because he was among the original jailers of the ancient scourge. He has returned to Zendikar to make sure the Titans do not escape. They both want the Eldarzi threat extinguished but each has their own agenda. Nissa wants the Eldrazi off her plane entirely. Sorin wants to put the lock back on their cell.

And there are still others who want the Titans to escape. Together they set out across the land on search of the Eye of Ugin, the source of the Eldrazi uprising, where they will face what could be their final challenge. Will the Eldrazi escape to menace the Multiverse once again?"

For thousands of years, Zendikar has had a reputation as a deathtrap. It's been a world of deadly perils to Planeswalkers and native explorers, punishing any who seek to loot its hidden treasures and exploit its potent mana.

But unknown to the plane's denizens, there's a sinister reason for Zendikar's danger: for millennia, the plane has served as a prison for the Eldrazi, astral monstrosities native to the Blind Eternities. Now, the perils facing adventurers on the plane of Zendikar have taken an even deadlier turn. The Eldrazi have been released.

Hailing from the Blind Eternities, the space between planes, the Eldrazi have transcended the colors of mana as we know them. As a result, the Eldrazi progenitors themselves and those closest to them are colorless. But don't let the mana cost fool you—these Eldrazi are not artifacts.

Each of the colossal Eldrazi spawns its own "brood lineage." The three brood lineages are composed of Eldrazi Drones and other subordinate beings, each reflecting the image of its progenitor. The smaller Eldrazi Drones that are aligned with colored mana and many of these drones, as well as some spells, produce Eldrazi Spawn creature tokens. These 0/1 colorless creatures can be sacrificed to add one colorless mana to your mana pool—perfect for casting those enormous Eldrazi.

The Rise of the Eldrazi set also marks the debut of colorless instants and sorceries. Like their Eldrazi creators, these versatile spells can be put into almost any deck.
