The Plane of Zendikar

Rise of the Eldrazi is set on Zendikar, a mana-rich and volatile plane in Magic: The Gathering known for its dangerous Roil and ancient hedrons. Long used as a prison for the Eldrazi, colossal beings from the Blind Eternities, the plane now faces total devastation as these entities fully awaken and their broods spread across the world.

The Conflict on Zendikar

In the story of Rise of the Eldrazi, the three Eldrazi titans awaken and begin consuming the plane along with their countless spawn. The inhabitants of Zendikar and visiting planeswalkers shift from adventure and exploration to desperate survival as the titans and their broods rampage across the continents, leaving destruction and madness in their wake.

The Mechanical and Flavor Identity of Rise of the Eldrazi

Rise of the Eldrazi shifts the tone of Zendikar toward cosmic horror in Magic: The Gathering. It introduces the Annihilator mechanic, forcing opponents to sacrifice permanents when Eldrazi attack, and the Level Up mechanic for creatures that permanently grow stronger. The set emphasizes massive colorless Eldrazi, Eldrazi Spawn tokens, and overwhelming ancient power, evoking a world threatened by incomprehensible cosmic forces.
