Prosper,’ Zendikar’s 3rd Set is ‘Rise of the Eldrazi’

Rise of The Eldrazi

To many of us this isn’t going to be news, ‘Rise of the Eldrazi’ (short­ened to ‘RoE’) had been dis­cov­ered at the same time as ‘World­wake’ but it took a while longer to be accepted as the name for the third set of Zendikar. Well today, the set logo as well as the expan­sion sym­bol arrived on the MTGSal­va­tion forums Rumor Mill cour­tesy of Autharaf. There’s no telling when the set will be announced on Wizards.com, as today they fea­ture a Wall­pa­per graphic of ‘Oran-Rief Sur­vival­ist’ in the Arcana sec­tion, but with the graph­ics in hand it should be very very soon.

Rise of the Eldrazi Set Symbol

Rise of the Eldrazi’ is going to be an inter­est­ing set, as it some­what mir­rors what we had in Lor­wyn/Shad­ow­moor. This third set is designed to stand alone when it comes to lim­ited play, mean­ing that it is a “big” set as if it were the first set of the block. But, with the sep­a­ra­tion in lim­ited, the sets will have story con­nec­tions and an inter­weav­ing of ele­ments. How­ever, unlike Shad­ow­moor, it does not have a fourth smaller set fol­low­ing it.

And now for a pic­ture of Sorin Markov and Nissa Revane in the heat of battle.

  1. I sure hope that’s fake because that icon looks like crap.

  2. Can some­one say “Duel Decks: Sorin Ver­sus Nissa”?

    No way. Also, that’s offi­cial art. And you’re whin­ing about the icon? You two are ridicu­lous. The Icon could be Jes­sica Alba’s boobs, and you peo­ple would complain.

    And there won’t be a Sorin vs Nissa deck, because they JUST did a Green Vs Black deck, and Sorin and Nissa aren’t ene­mies. In the lore, Gar­ruk HAS bat­tled Lil­iana, and Chan­dra HAS bat­tled Jace.

    As for you other two, get off your damn self-important high horse. Either buy the prod­uct or don’t. Quit com­plaing­ing about, and judg­ing things you know noth­ing about.
