Update to Poster Distribution for WPN Stores in the United States and Canada
Stores in the United States and Canada that have not yet ordered their Lorwyn Eclipsed set poster will now have one shipped directly to them—no action required. Stores that previously paid a handling fee will receive a credit, and stores with multiple locations that were unable to order a poster for each one will receive a poster at every location. Posters will ship to WPN stores in the United States and Canada in January. Stores outside North America will receive their set poster in the Lorwyn Eclipsed marketing kit as usual. Read the update to our initial announcement for more details.
Magic players have been waiting years to return to Lorwyn, and with Lorwyn Eclipsed arriving on January 23, 2026, their patience is about to be rewarded. This set is packed with exciting cards, new products like Draft Night and 60-Card Theme Decks, and story-driven experiences your community will love. With a calendar full of events, craveable promos, and lots of ways to promote the set and events, Lorwyn Eclipsed is the perfect way to kick off a big year of Magic.

New and Notable for Lorwyn Eclipsed
New Products: Draft Night and 60-Card Theme Decks
With Lorwyn Eclipsed, players can look forward to two exciting new product offerings that make it easier than ever to jump into Magic.
- Draft Night: Designed for four players, Draft Night includes everything needed to run a fun, ready-to-go Pick-Two Draft at home or in-store. Each box also comes with a Collector Booster that can be awarded to the winner—or simply enjoyed by the group—making it an exciting introduction for new drafters and a great event-night option for your community.
- 60-Card Theme Decks: Launching alongside the set are two Standard-legal, ready-to-play decks that give players an easy entry point into Magic. Featuring two popular themes, Pirates and Angels, these decks are perfect for casual battles out of the box and provide a terrific stepping stone toward Standard in-store play.
