This new multi-player game format expansion is scheduled to released within the next two weeks and will feature a “one vs. many” style of game that pits a single player against any number of opponents allied against him / her.

Lastly - Of great interest - We have from MTG Mint Cards, their TOP TEN selling Rise of the Eldrazi cards for May, 2010.

1. Gideon Jura (Chinese)

2. Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

3. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn

4. Stirring Wildwood (Chinese)

5. Scute Mob

6. Vampire Nighthawk

7. Wall of Omens

8. Devastating Summons

9. Gideon Jura

10. Lightning Bolt

After some new decks developed with ROE cards, the Gideon Jura became the best seller, for both English and Chinese version. Its weird to see the Stirring Wildwood Chinese version on the list, probably due to the lower price compare with the English version.
