Wizards Finally Confirms ‘Rise of the Eldrazi’ is Real
Today we have finally gotten Wizards’ confirmation that ‘Rise of the Eldrazi’ is real. 100% this time. They confirmed it in the Magic Arcana section of their site, as has become their standard practice for new product announcements.
Unfortunately Wizards’ thunder was stolen two weeks ago when a member of MTGSalvation.com spoiled the set logo, expansion symbol and a kick-ass piece of art. However Wizards released an additional piece of amazing art.
Also of major interest is the subtitle, “And Carnage Shall Follow.”
