Kozilek might have left but his brood are still up for no good because so far their art depicted them underground meaning they are doing something more deep then killing all life forms in the surface.
I'm sure the set will be great, but I'm not a fan of the name. It sounds too much like the title of a book.
Alternatively, I'd love for Wizards to throw a massive wrench into the game by using this set to kill off those 4 planeswalkers...maybe they sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I can dream.
I feel like they've shown a trailer for the sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet. Like if Marvel had put out trailers for Age of Ultron before Avengers came out but worse because anyone can know the ending of that story by reading the comic books but we didn't know the ending of BFZ block but now we pretty much do.
The art shows a clear victory of ulamog being imprisoned, I believe.
That said, according to the lore the last time they got imprisoned their spawn didn't just magically vanish. I think the spawn are still going to be around, even if/when ulamog is defeated.
All it really shows is either the Planeswalkers with magic and a fist in the air, or four planeswalkers shooting mana at...nothing, in a really vicious manner.
I dunno if that really shows anything at all.
Basic storytelling (especially in an ongoing storyline like this), there may be a "victory", but it will be a tainted victory. Somebody will die or there will be some sort of Chekhov's Gun background detail that will come back to haunt our heroes in a few sets down the line.
I think the Oath is to find Emek and Koza to destroy/seal them and save those planes from falling victim to the Eldrazi.
but first, i wanna see Emrakul vs Kamigawa. tentacles vs ninjas and samurai.
Stop rule 34-ing my hobbies!
In seriousness, I'd love to see more planes fall to the eldrazi menace. Makes them a much more meaningful threat when the avengers have already lost planes and hopefully walkers to them. After all if they can kill off Venser and Elspeth they can kill off more stop killing the ones I like wah

Apparently we're getting Kozilek and the first HUGE change to magic in forever. New basic land type. Colorless basic land. The game will be changed and will never be the same.https://mythicspoiler.com/newspoilers.html

I actually want the Eldrazi to win. I like them more than these planeswalker characters or pretty much most things in Magic. It's about time the bad guys win again. Although, I don't consider the Eldrazi to be the bad guys because I like them. I loved New Phyrexia's and Tarkir's endings. It's just interesting to not have a story where the good guys always prevail. That doesn't represent reality.
Wut? In Zendikar block the bad guys pretty much won. In Scars block the bad guys won. In Innistrad the good guys started out losing and came up to reasonable parody. In Theros... well I don't think anyone won but I'd call Heliod a bad guy and he won. In Khans block some might call the dragons bad guys and they won(I side with the dragons). I mean with the exception of Ravnica the good guys have done nothing but lose for the last like 6 years at least.
Heliod lost too! By killing Elspeth he unleashed the seed of doubt and rebellion against all the Gods. Elspeth ends up in the Underworld because of her love for Daxos; Daxos ends up as a returned because of his love for Elspeth. Xenagos does not fulfill his childhood dream to be a God. Ajani loses his best friend. Anax loses Cymede to a lecherous Keranos. Thassa loses her Bident....Damn...EVERYONE loses in Theros. Haven't seen so many loses for everyone since New Phyrexia.
Anax lost Cymede to Keranos? I only ever read the bits about young Anax. What happened with Cymede and Keranos?
If there is a "Watch" on Zendikar, I suspect, at the very least, that Ulamog and Kozilek will be a reduced threat to Zendikar--and either be imprisoned again or run off. I don't know if I think one will be killed outright. The "Watch" has to look over some "Gate"--perhaps a new prison?
And with the new Waste mana, I suspect that will only occur in this set? Or will it spread to other sets as our Planeswalkers hunt down the Eldrazi (or if not hunt them down, run them off from planes that are assaulted)?

To help out with the minotaur fight Cymede pledged herself to Keranos as a oracle for a favor and she disappeared in a bolt of lighting. As far as we know she is in Nyx serving Keranos.

I wonder if Kozi will just bail Ula out and then both will leave Zendikar, keeping both around for later sets.
I'd prefer a scenario where Ula is (almost) defeated and then suddenly gets devoured by another eldrazi though, bringing an ironic end to the gluttony incarnate.
Who knows. They're following each other somewhere! Looks like Kozi is gonna show Ula how to really mess things up.
