That's my best guess given the current storyline. I predict our next encounter with the Eldrazi will take place on a previously established plane, after the Eldrazi have utterly destroyed Zendikar. Ok by me since Zendikar has the least flavor (in my opinion) of the last 5-6 blocks, aside from the Eldrazi. Agree/Disagree?
I disagree regarding flavor and Zendikar, but given the generally negative tone of the past few storylines ( Innistrad is sort of an exception ), it would come as no surprise to have Zendikar totally gone, with perhaps Planeswalker escapees and the inevitable Eldrazi making their appearance on a known plane. ( But probably not New Phyrexia: "Phyrexia versus Eldrazi: Who wins? Who cares!?" )
i think probably not. although the Eldrazi could escape to another plane and THAT one is destroyed. I kinda think that with the original block being so popular and people wanting a return so much, Wizards might not want to just randomly destroy the entire plane. maybe imprison the Eldrazi there again in case they ever feel like round 3

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
I would hazard a guess that WotC originally intended the Zendikar storyline to go that way, only to find Zendikar became one of the most popular sets of all time, and as such a plane they want to return to.
I think that we will return to Zendikar, with Ob Nixilis as the main antagonist.
His current goal is to destroy Zendikar to regain his spark, so I suspect that the set will end with the destruction of Zendikar AND the Eldrazi, so that people will stop asking for them to come back.
I think Ulamog will die and mana he consumed will be suffused into Zendikar, restore it, and it'll be gorgeous. Then the remaining two Titans remain the threat with almost no hope of defeating Emrakrul, or something.

Zendikar is WAAAAY too popular of a plane for Wizards to destroy it. Think about how much money they're going to make off of Battle for Zendikar. Do you think that they would just flush a third chance at that down the toilet for cheap storyline thrills?
Honestly, I think they'll probably end up having the Eldrazi cornered into being trapped again only for them to just give up on Zendikar and leave at the last second.
This gives Wizards the chance to return to a rebuilding Zendikar later down the line and to create the suspense of not telling us where the Eldrazi will show up next by means of the planeswalkers involved in the Battle for Zendikar not knowing and most likely trying to figure it out/warn potential targets.
Imagine the noble Gideon traveling to various planes babbling about Lovecraftian horrors from other dimensions and everyone on the plane just being all "lolwut? Who is this lunaic?"
According to this poll, 52.9% of voters say yes, and 52.9% of voters say no. Seems legit.
I vote no, Zendikar's a cool plane and I doubt they'd want to burn too many bridges after Old Tarkir and Mirrodin got fried. It just doesn't make sense to me.
