The first cards revealed from the set were a selection of basic lands, each printed with both a traditional frame and a full-art frame reminiscent of lands from Unglued and Unhinged. Henry Stern (lead), Aaron Forsythe, Mark Globus, Erik Lauer,ĭevin Low, Matt Place, Mike Turian, Steve Warner Mark Rosewater (lead), Doug Beyer, Graeme Hopkins, Kenneth Nagle, Matt Place Zendikar ZendikarĢ49 cards (15 Mythic, 53 Rare, 60 Uncommon, 101 Common, 20 Basic Land) Īlly, Landfall, Trap instants, Quest enchantments Drafts in the Zendikar block are either ZEN-ZEN-WWK or ROE-ROE-ROE. Rise of the Eldrazi, while part of the Zendikar block creatively and for the sake of constructed tournament rules, is unique mechanically and is designed to be drafted on its own. Instead, the themes Zendikar and Worldwake revolve around lands, and a theme of an adventure or quest. Unlike the previous two blocks, there is no multicolored theme (in fact, every colored card in the set is monocolored).

A phenomenon known as "the Roil" causes frequent geological upheaval as it sweeps across the land. Colossal ancient octahedral stones called "hedrons" float in the sky (hedrons are the expansion symbols for all three blocks). The eponymous setting is a vast, untamed wilderness, whose few bastions of civilization exist primarily for outfitting treasure-seeking expeditions to distant locales. The Zendikar block is a Magic: The Gathering block consisting of the sets Zendikar (October 2, 2009), Worldwake (February 5, 2010), Rise of the Eldrazi (April 23, 2010).
