When did WotC talk about Eldrazi in Edge of Eternities?

I'm trying to find something official from WotC talking about the role of Eldrazi in EOE--not story, but more like how big of a presence they would have in the set, how many cards they would get. I figure it's common knowledge by now that there's only one. I had guessed there would be a lot more cards, and it sounds like a lot of people also had that assumption. It's on the border of where they come from, after all. So I'm trying to figure out if WotC ever said anything that would lead people in that direction--"The Eldrazi will be returning in this set!" or whatever--or if everyone just guessed wrong and made bad assumptions. Does anyone have any original sources (so actually from WotC, not a journalist, content creator, or other third party) talking about how many Eldrazi there would be in EOE?

I think it's wrong assumptions because people reasoned in the opposite direction. It's been common knowledge for 15 years that the eldrazi come from the blind eternities, so a set called "The Edge of Eternities" feels like it should border on eldrazi-territory. I remember when I heard the set announced, I thought of the eldrazi myself because of that, not because of anything Wizards actually said.

I did a quick search for "Eldrazi" on MaRo's blog and looked through the most recent questions. His response here says that the single Eldrazi and Sliver were "teasers to what's possible in a space set".
I don't remember which card flavor texts or EoE stories mention it directly, but this wiki article might help. Basically, there was a war between the Fomori and Eldrazi at some point in the Edge's past. The Drix are Eldrazi hunters, and scour the Edge for any survivors of the conflict. I think they're more or less setting things up for another Eldrazi conflict, or at least some additional deepening to their lore.
