According to Mark Rosewater "we return to a Zendikar without Eldrazi and revisit the adventure world players fell in love with." It is a "land set" in the sense of the sets of the first Zendikar block. Like all previous Zendikar sets, Zendikar Rising features full-art basic lands.

Zendikar Rising contains 280 cards () and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. A unique Buy-a-Box promotional card is also considered to be part of the set. Cards with an alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. The Showcase cards are connected to TBA. They feature a TBA style. The set features no new planeswalkers. The returning planeswalkers are Jace, Nissa, and Nahiri.
