Sooo what does this imply when it comes to the spring supplemental set? I've never seen the summer set announced so early, and I wonder what that might mean.
What's going on with that set's font and color?!
Looks like Wizards wants some more little girls playing their card game. Also fits with their Twilight theme.
Girls also helped developing the set (Jackie Lee and Melissa DeTora).
Second mention of Twighlight on this thread, never seen the movies, but I'd assume if it featured Werewolves, Vampires, Zombies, Angels, Demons, inter-dimensional travelling "super humans", death, and despair, I would have picked it up at some point. Guess I'm missing out, you guys just talked me into it, thanks for the referral.
The name is great. The font is fine, looks like a moonscape tinged pink from an oncoming blood/hunter's moon. Maybe the theories about Innistrad's moon being messed with and thus causing ripple effects on the plane may be right, even if just in parts and not the whole. [I know this is speculation, but just my initial thoughts on seeing the set name, the chosen colors, and the image.]

Twilight is honestly a bad movie/book series, i'd suggest against picking it up and of those things you mentioned it only has vampires and werewolves and not especially cool ones, it's mostly about a romance between a human girl and a vampire, but the writing's so bad...
If you're looking for eldritch horror try playing darkest dungeon, it's tons of fun =)
edit: @truth I really, really hope this set is not about emrakul.
I doubt it has anything to do with Emrakul. What is the point in raising the dead to fight Emrakul? Zombies and Mrs. Emrakul just don't mix well together.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
This set name is really evocative. It really drags some images up in your mind, but is also just vague enough to leave you wanting more info. Nice job Wizards.
I'm definitely getting more and more of a Bloodborne vibe from this block. This set name convinces me that the sky goddess is on Innistrad.
Likely that Nahiri used Innistrad's moon to seal Emrakul, just like how Avacyn used a chunk of it to seal demons. But Emrakul's powers are having a negative influence on the inhabitants of the plane, so Jace has to investigate on what's going on.
That's one awesome set name. My favorite in a long while.
Indeed, Rick bro ;-)
Funny thing is that SoI is shaping to be far more Lovecraftian than Eldrazi blocks. So many allusions - Shadows over Innsmouth,Arkham Horror vibes with investigate and clue tokens,now the word eldritch,almost HPL's trademark.
Hopefully they also move more from the gothic horror to eldritch horror theme. I would even half-expect some merfolk myateriously appearing from the depths in Nephalia,to make a reference to the Deep Ones.
In other words,I am looking forward to it!

This sounds and looks awesome. I'd love a new Tamiyo with some bad ass art treatment like Liliana and Jace are getting. But that would leave a big hole where a Green 'walker should be.

You couldn't make the set code EMO?
I am disappoint.
