WPN Stores in North America: a New Way to Get Your Set Poster
Starting with Lorwyn Eclipsed, we will be conducting a test of how WPN stores in the United States, Canada, Guam, and Puerto Rico receive set posters. Instead of the poster being delivered in your marketing kit the week of Prerelease, you'll be able to order your complimentary Lorwyn Eclipsed set poster with free shipping through the WPN Marketing Portal beginning December 1. By ordering early, you can receive your poster up to a month sooner than before, giving you more time to build excitement for the new set.
Stores outside North America are not affected by this test and will receive their set poster in the Lorwyn Eclipsed marketing kit as usual.
WPN stores in North American, please visit the full announcement for complete details and how to order your Lorwyn Eclipsed set poster.
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.
