The next MTG set will have us making our third visit to Zendikar, the wild, adventure-world with buried ruins and eldritch secrets... though the biggest secret obviously got revealed in Rise of the Eldrazi...
However, we get a little video of a Zendikar landscape undergoing the Roil - new shards of stone, new ladnscapes, form before us as we hear what I presume to be Nahiri narrating about her destiny.
Nahiri is a pretty interesting character, and one who is due to appear in the new set. An ancient Oldwalker who, with Sorin and Ugin, first lured the Eldrazi titans to Zendikar and locked them away, she grew enraged when the titans broke out and devastated her world.
Feeling that Sorin and Ugin had failed her (Ugin had the excuse of being dead, at least in that version of the timeline... how do alternate timelines work on other planes?) she decided to take revenge on Sorin by luring Emrakul to Innistrad, making her the arguable big bad of the Shadows Over Innistrad block (though, you know, Emrakul probably fits that role better.)
Anyway, Sorin and Nahiri, once close friends and allies, are now bitter nemeses. Can Nahiri be redeemed after she unleashed such horrors upon... a world where things were already pretty fucked up? And how will Nissa, another Zendikar native but who's way less murdery, reckon with her Kor plane-mate?
