shadowsragon asked: Random question for timeline purposes. How long were the Eldrazi sealed away? Also, how much time was there between Ugin and Nicol Bolas throwing down, and their release?

The Eldrazi were originally trapped on Zendikar (by Sorin, Ugin, and the Lithomancer) about 6000 years ago.

Ugin and Nicol Bolas had their throwdown a long time after that, and a long time before now. More on that later.
