I'm assuming nahiri will be in bfz. A lot of the Kor creature were in the last set so it would fit very well. How about the saprolings? 0/1 tap sac for a colorless mana. Will they come back? I have a feeling there will be a very limited amount of eldrazi but I do think atleast 1 of the big 3 will make an appearance. Possibly as a planeswalker.
*Eldrazi spawn. Not Saprolings.

You're thinking of the eldrazi spawn, such as seen in {Skittering Invasion}. I feel that will either be in BFZ or MM2.

Also, welcome back.

Thanks. Eldrazi spawn is what I was thinking. Was driving and texting :P which I don't condone.

I don't think the Eldrazi can hold a spark (similar to the Phyrexians). Not to mention there is almost no need for a spark because they kind of just bash through the Blind Eternities anyways.

Except they're not. They are born of the Blind Eternities and can therefore travel through them, devouring mana from various planes. GET SOME EDUCATION.

EDUCATION ACQUIRED. However that's essentially the same thing so there's no way there's going to be an eldrazi PW because that's redundant

Yeah, pretty much. Here is what Doug said on his blog about the topic: http://tmblr.co/ZUrCEt17vx4zF The important take away is that we can't get an Eldrazi planeswalker card.

The Eldrazi do traverse the Blind Eternities and they are able to move from plane to plane. In a nit-picky technical sense I wouldn't use the term "planeswalkers" for them, though, as I don't think that they have "sparks," and I don't think they possess sentience in the way we think of it. They don't grow up with unignited sparks and eventually gain the power to planeswalk, and all that.

It's kind of like, a car is a vehicle that can move from place to place, and so is an airplane. So is an airplane basically a car? I mean, if you really squint and get in a metaphorical mood, then kind of? But the real answer is no, not really—it's another kind of thing that can accomplish a similar task. The Eldrazi aren't a subset of the set of all planeswalkers. Planeswalkers and the Eldrazi are both members of the set of all things that can travel from one plane to another.

Yeah. You're completely right. But a lot of other people that are saying this the only way to get through to them is calling them almost walkers

The  Eldrazi Titans also technically don't manifest on the plane. Only their shadow and their underlings do. What we represented in the cards  {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}  {Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre} and  {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} are just their shadows, projections of their power.

Imagine we actually would get to play with their Blind Eternity self, influencing the plane (game) with their powers. Much like the pw we have now, but subtly different. As I'm thinking about it it would be hard to balance though... They are not on the plane like the pw, so how do you influence them? Would need some epic power. And the only zone in existence which could harbor them would be the command zone. Which would cause cards to influence that zone, which we DON'T want. Maybe it could be a new subgame of commander, where your commander uses abilities from the zone, while only casting shadows on the b/f. Kinda like your role in Vampire: the card game, if anyone knows that one.
