Third Zendikar and Innistrad Block Predictions
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

At this point, I believe that it is very safe to presume that there shall be a third Zendikar block and a third Innistrad block, because both of those planes are very popular with players.
Therefore, I wish to start making predictions about such blocks.
Given that both of those planes were devastated by their respective battles against the eldrazi, I am certain that the third blocks on each shall focus largely on the planes and their inhabitants recovering from those battles. On Innistrad in particular, with Sigarda being the only angel who was not corrupted by Emrakul, the people who are still religious will now be devoted to worshiping her.
I also am fairly certain that a third Zendikar block shall have plenty of cards that care about lands and that a third Innistrad block shall have plenty of double-faced cards, since those were among the most popular elements of each of the previous blocks on those planes.
What does everyone else say about this? What are your predictions for a third Zendikar block and third Innistrad block?
I don't really know what stories they can tell. But I will be happy to go back to Zendikar and Innistrad. I didn't disliked the first returns.
For Zendikar, I think they will focus on the adventure part of the world (we missed it last time). Maybe some stories about recovering from Eldrazis. Maybe some stories about Nissa.
And Innistrad, Emrakul is still sealed in the moon and I will be surprise if it will have no influence on the plane. Also, Emrakul got sealed on purpose and she will certainly get released one day (I hope so, I like eldrazi). Otherwise, they can still tell stories about classic gothic horror stuff with Sorin and Tibalt.

Kizder, shadow63, I agree that I would much rather the game return to a less popular plane than those two, but they are popular, so further returns to them are very likely.
FormerBalloon, yes, Kamigawa is the plane to which I most wish for the game to return (after Dominaria, but that wish was granted, so now Kamigawa is at the top of my list for planes to revist); if only WotC would realize that it is possible to fix what was wrong with the plane while retaining the same identity.

I believe that it is safe to presume that a third Zendikar block will feature Nissa, Kiora, and Nahiri, since they are all from that plane and their stories are not over.
A third Innistrad block will almost certainly feature Sorin in some way, since the story writers obviously intend to bring him back at some point (or else they would have simply killed him in the Shadows Over Innistrad block).

I really hope we dont get them. Their stories are over. They already ruined the lore on innistard they dont need to damage the plane anymore.
But if I had to guess on what some themes of the cards would be. For zen I'd see lots of damaged and maybe even courpoted elementals and waste areas of nothing but death and destruction caused by the eldrazi.
I just dont see the stories on either plane having anywhere to go. This third ravnica blocks story is boring
