It was obvious since we got to know we'd be returning to Zendikar, but the hype train is still not stopping.

[Trebuchet MS]

Cover card Emrakul, yes?

Cover card Emrakul, yes?

 

Or a new Eldrazi Titan. 

 

But yes, probably Emrakul.

 

I wonder how balanced the decks will be. Resolving an Emrakul seems pretty much unstoppable to me.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Oh fuck yes.

Or a new Eldrazi Titan.

They may make the cover for the Eldrazi deck It that Betrays. That's how I'd resolve the issue of balance.

Only Titan left on Zendikar is Ulsmog, so we're either getting Ulamog v1 or a new Ulamog card as the cover card.

Emrakul vs Oblivion ring?

 

 

I guess thats one way to balance it.

[CommanderVolt]

I thought I heard something along the lines of Emrakul and Kozilek having planeshifted away from Zendikar or something?

 

Then again, Duel Decks do include old cards... Hard to say.

 

Roddy and I talked about this earlier but, would it be possible to create new Eldrazi Titans? Since the original 3 were falsely revered as the Gods Kozi, Ula, and Emeria.

 

I hope Awakening Zone is in the eldrazi deck...

Emrakul and Kozilek have indeed left Zendikar, based on current information. They could feasibly still stick them in the deck, but judging by all three being reprinted in MM2, the most likely candidate is an early spoiler of the [i]new[/i] Ulamog card, similar to how Zurgo or Jarad was spoiled (because it's almost 100% certain we'll get a new Ulamog card).

 

It's possible that there are more Eldrazi titans that we've not seen lurking about in the Blind Eternities. As far as we know, the only three that have ever visited Zendikar are the three we know, so there's no reason to assume more will pop up on Zendikar, at least.

[Flame Dragon]

I'm pretty sure the only titans that exist are Emrakul, Kozilek, and Ulamog. Yea, odds are one cover card is going to be the new Ulamog. I'm personally interested in what they'll do for the Zendikar side. My first guess would be Ally, Level Up, and Totem Armor, but they could go a different direction.

Also, wonder what will happen to the 1st Duel Deck. The normal rotation was September is block set up and March is planeswalkers from last block. With the 2 block per year set up this won't work anymore. I was hoping it would be the walkers since a lot of people use that as a way to get the walkers for a less than back breaking price, but this leads me to think it will be the block set up.
