While most of Zendikar was spoiled last week, they have yet to be confirmed. BUT the following four cards are 100% true Zendikar cards, they are included in the four decks which were demoed by Wizards at their Planechase unveiling demo during GenCon 2009. These cards are 100% REAL and were pointed out and discussed with Trick (me) by Mark Purvis, a Wizards of the Coast employee.

I only took a photo of two of the cards, and they were too blurry to be useful. I will get better photos tomorrow hopefully. Photos are included below. They are not any higher resolution because part of the agreement with Wizards was that we shoot them in sleeves and at enough of a distance to avoid any possible issues.

The expansion symbol on the card is NOT the Zendikar expansion symbol, it is the Planechase deck symbol. If you're looking for my thoughts on Planechase it later tonight or early tomorrow morning. But I will say this, it was a 100% positive review from every person who I spoke to at the demo. Sure I had some ideas of things I would have liked, but that is not a negative on it.

NOW, onto the four cards. All four of these cards are commons, so none are earth shattering but they will give you a look into Zendikar available only here at ManaNation!

Hideous End 1{B}{B}

Whiplash Trap 3{U}{U}

Instant -- Trap

If an opponent had 2 or more creatures enter the battlefield under his or her control, you may pay {U} rather than Whiplash Trap's casting cost.

Return two target creatures from play to owner's hand.

Artist: Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai

Did you see the new subtype? -- TRAP. It allows instants to be cast at a cheaper cost than normal, or do different things? I only saw the first part but I can guess there is the latter.

Now note I do not have collector numbers, because these were printed in the Planechase set they had their Planechase collector numbers and not Zendikar's so I did not have that info. But I confirmed that the art is the same that is present on the Zendikar cards, so the artist info is correct.

ManaNation will also be doing a special preview. Starting on the 21st we will be revealing a segment of our card, and it is going to be awesome. We will be doing a three part reveal of our card, and it will be happening on three consecutive Fridays, 8/21, 8/28 and 9/4 so keep on checking back with us to learn more about Wizard's upcoming set!
