Here is the summary of the important points from video, thanks to the folks at the MagicTCG subreddit!

• Sets up the history of Zendikar as a land based plane in exploring land matters mechanics, including history of Rise of Eldrazi being a major shift from Adventure world, and then Oath of the Gatewatch.
• Zendikar Rising will aim to recapture the adventure plane Zendikar.
• Is a land set with “a lot of cool lands”.
• Full Art Basics return, as a staple of Zendikar.
• Many years ago Mark made six dual lands that he tried to get into a set. Finally find a home here.
• Brand new mechanic set – takes a popular theme that players like and twists it in a new way, “Zendikar’d it up” – a theme you’ve seen before but done in a new way.
• Two returning mechanics, both have appeared in a Zendikar set (e.g. Landfall, Allies)
• A bunch of legendary creatures will return, including one that gets another color! According to the product image, it looks like Omnath is also White.
• Jace, Nissa, and Nahiri are the three Planeswalkers in this set as mentioned by Mark and depicted in the product image.

Set Booster

• There will be a brand new product called the “Set Booster”. Check out the full article from Wizards here and find out exactly what the boosters will contain.
• Importantly, it contains cards from “The List”, which is a curated list from throughout Magic’s history. Cards from it will appear in 1 out of every 4 packs of the Set Booster and unfortunately will not be implemented on MTG Arena. Below are some example cards anyway:
