Worldwake

Worldwake is the second set in the Zendikar block and is the fifty-second Magic expansion. Prerelease events will be held January 30-31, 2010. Launch parties will be held February 5-7, 2010.

Set Details

Worldwake is like its predecessor Zendikar centered around lands.

Mechanics

A variant of Kicker called Multikicker is introduced. This variation allows for the kicker cost to be played multiple times with the repeated effect. Landfall also returns.

It is also thought that the set will feature a cycle of dual man-lands: Lands that can produce one mana of either of two allied colors and can be activated for one mana of each of those colors and an amount of unspecified mana to become a creature until end of turn. These lands come into play tapped.

The set also contains a new Planeswalker card representing Jace Beleren called Jace, the Mind Sculptor. The first planeswalker to have four abilities rather than the usual three and the first Planeswalker to have an ability that costs no loyalty to be added or subtracted to be activated. If there are any other new Planeswalkers is unknown.
