Not sure where this fit in so I just put it here. As far as the lore goes the only original remaining Eldrazi legend left on Zendikar is Ulamog. If RnD sticks with this idea and Ulamog is the big boy on the block (yay puns!)do you guys think it will be a new version of Ulamog or will we end up with a reprint of Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre?
Public Mod Note
(Cythare):
Moved to Rumor Mill Speculation
Definitely a new card for each Eldrazi. Reprinting Emrakul and Ulamog just after MM2 would be a huge mistake, and they also don't believe the originals were balanced.
Whenever you cast #. choose opponent. Chosen opponent gain emblem. At begin of your upkeep, put 1 desolation counter on this emblem. You lose game when number of counter reach 3-4.
They have never reprinted the spalshy cards that defined a set in the return set. And they never will. People love new stuff, so thats what we'll get. And I'm glad. There are places for reprints in the auxilary products, but in the expert expansions, new is trump.
It is also very reasonable to speculate that we will not see the huge battlecruiser Eldrazi again. Oblivion Sower is a very castable card at 6cmc. This set might have a different design goal than ROE had.
They won't do a direct reprint, but they may do a pseudo-reprint in a different aspect (see: Ertai, Wizard Adept and Ertai, the Corrupted). Other than that I'm at a loss as to the storyline continuum to make other suggestions about to who/what will show up.
Probably some day, but I doubt they'll give us two colorless planeswalker in standard at the same time, especially since they are both going to be 8+ mana to cast.
Now, if the other two have left Zendikar (and possibly their physical forms) behind, we might see it in a future set.
It is also very reasonable to speculate that we will not see the huge battlecruiser Eldrazi again.
I really doubt we will not have a 'battlecruiser' Ulamog. that is the whole point, a card with a huge cost that convey massive power. to not have it be a similar level to last time would make this return so much less special that it deserves to be

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
I think the interacting with the exile zone will but the mechanic of Eldrazi.. its very alien odd and not something that will want to put on too many cards.
I'd say it has to be go big or go home with Eldrazi.
When cast exile half your deck you may cast cards without paying their mana cost.
something dumb like that.
It has been said on numerous occasions that they are not planeswalkers. They are creatures of the blind eternities, and therefore do not need sparks to travel between planes. As they do not need to be planeswalkers, they will not be turned into planeswalkers.
Ulamog will most certainly receive a new card. Mark Rosewater has said that Annihilator is very unlikely to return to Standard (it is an 8 on the storm scale).
Ulamog, Bane of Zendikar11
Legendary Creature- Eldrazi
When you cast Ulamog, target opponent exiles the top eleven cards of his or her library, then you may put up to three creatures with combined converted mana costs 11 or less that player owns in exile onto the battlefield under your control. They're Eldrazi in addition to their other types.
When Ulamog leaves the battlefield, exile all permanents you control but don't own.

In reading the most recent Uncharted Realms, For Zendikar, it appears as if Emrakul is present in the Magic Origins card Nissa's Revelation. Doesn't it look like Emrakul is coming through some kind of breach or something? Here's a larger picture:
Speculation on if this means Emrakul will be part of BFZ???

You actually make a good point. I could see the Eldrazi having the ability to manipulate exile zones. The Sower plays land from exile zones, another could play instants and sorceries, a third could play creatures and Ulamog could play anything. He was a living kill spell before so it would make sense. Also, he should keep his indestructibility. For old times sake.

If there's a 5 color Eldrazi legend it wont be Ulamog. The only way that can happen is if a 5 color legend gets Dominator Droned.
Why can't Lamo be 6WUBRG with Devoid?
I, for one, think there's a great chance of it happening. It would be a great way to make the legends unique from one another if Wizards doesn't want Devoid to be in every future set with Eldrazi.
I would honestly like to see a Jund colored eldrazi because its basically the "colors" they show up in and would make a very interesting Jund Commander

Ulamog is likely the main baddie/attraction in the set, Wizards won't make the featured star of the set semi-unplayable by including a WUBRG cost.
Was it ever explained why Emrakul and Kozilek left? I sense some gentrification analogy. Emrakul's all "When I came to this place it was just me, mana, and my dreams. Now it's crawling with Planeswalkers and it costs $6.5 for a single roast elf. I am out of here!"
Ulamog's ability being able to cast anything from exile would be pretty fun, though it doesn't sound likely. Day's Undoing, anyone?
Newlamog, Voidbringer 8BRG
Devoid, deathtouch, trample, reach
Whenever a land is tapped for mana, it produces colorless mana instead of any other type. This mana may be used to cast Eldrazi creatures as though it were mana of any color.

I can just see Emrakul's snobbery saving Zendikar. On another note, how about an Ulamog that exiles a permanent when he is cast, has ingest (or even ingest, ingest), and can play cards from exile that an opponent owns?

2: They wont reprint Ulamog because he has Annihilator which they find to be a mistake because of how unfun it was.
3: Probably Rumor Mill Speculation would be the proper place for this.
