I thought i'd bring up an old subjevt from the last printing of full art lands (zendikar block)
Who is the lithomancer?
As we know sorin currently seeks ugin, kiora seeks power to fight the eldrazi, nissa defends her home world from the eldrazi, but who is the lithomancer who first helped seal the eldrazi? I get the feeling a return to zendikar is not far off seeing how they appear to be pushing that story line a fair amount (while adding a small nod to the phyrexian story in ths)

I still feel that while a Return to Zendikar may happen, it is not as needed as people think. Haven't two of the Eldrazi Titans left Zendikar and have to be chased down before sealing them away?

You forgot to mention that Gideon originally went to Ravnica to get help to fight the Eldrazi as well. :P

So all known paneswalkers with and without cards that have been trying to stop the Eldrazi are sorin, Ugin, the lithomancer, kiora, gideon, and Nissa. Did I miss any?

I think those are all the ones who are trying to stop the Eldrazi. If I remember correctly Nicol Bolas is the one who set up the whole Zendikar incident from behind the scenes. He's also the one who killed Ugin, one of the 3 who sealed the Eldrazi away the first time.

maybe even without Ugin, the combined power of all those walkers canseal th Eldrazi./>?

I don't know. I think the reason they needed Ugin in the first place was because the eldrazi absorbed all the mana around them and Ugin used colourless mana that could not be absorbed. This is probably also why all the other planeswalkers who have ever tried to stop the eldrazi generate tokens except gideon who becomes a token and The Lithomancer who,if they had a card, would probably create hedron tokens of some sort.

I can't wait to see the block where they do this though.
Blood, Sweat, Tears, Fears. I know they are code names, but they usually have a little bearing on what things are going on in the block. So it could possibly be one of these due to the highly stressful things that will occur, I can really see a planeswalker or two dying in the process.
Also, can someone provide a source for the Eldrazi leaving Zendikar, I can't seem to find one myself. Thanks!

I found it. its the uncharted realms story blurb for Nissa, Worldwaker . on the mothership. Only Ulamog is on Zendikar still.

Actually it says at least one, which is Ulamog. Sorry to be picky :P
Thanks though!

It's been all but confirmed in two different articles that the Lithomancer was a kor named Nahiri, who has mysteriously vanished from Sorin's contact.
