Zendikar Rising previews are starting today! Everything kicks off on Twitch.tv/Magic so tune in below and follow the card spoilers right here on Out of Cards.

This post will be updated as new cards are spoiled on stream. We'll also recap any information so you don't have to watch. If you're looking to pre-order physical copies of Zendikar Rising cards, you can find the new products over on Amazon (affiliate link).

Zendikar Rising Mechanics

  • Kicker - An optional additional cost that appears on all kinds of cards. Simply put, you pay more, you get more.
  • Landfall - If a land enters the battlefield under your control, all your landfall abilities will trigger. If more than one landfall ability triggers at the same time, you can put those abilities on the stack in any order.
  • Party - Highlights four specific creature types: Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard. These form a party and change how cards work based on how large your party is.

Zendikar Rising Card Spoilers

Basic Lands

Fifteen of the new basic lands have been revealed.

Expeditions

Modal Double-Faced Cards

We're getting a set of double-faced cards! Wizards showcased one card that is a land on one side and a spell on the other. Other versions of these cards are dual lands!

   

 

Quote From Wizards

Like previous double-faced cards, modal double-faced cards have two card faces, one on each side of the card. But these cards don't transform. When you play a modal double-faced card, you choose which face you're playing. Short on mana? Play Valakut Stoneforge. Good on mana but need more action? Cast Valakut Awakening. It's up to you.

Most of the rules that govern how transforming double-faced cards apply to the new modal variety. While a modal double-faced card is in your hand, your graveyard, or exile, it has the characteristics of its front face only. So, if you're searching your library for a land card, you can't find a modal double-faced card whose front face isn't a land card. If an effect allows you to cast instant spells from your graveyard, you could cast Valakut Awakening, but you couldn't play Valakut Stoneforge.
