🌿🌑 Lorwyn Eclipsed Prerelease 🌑🌿

✨ A World of Eternal Day… and Endless Night ✨

The plane of Lorwyn–Shadowmoor stands apart from all others—a world forever caught between radiant daylight and moon-haunted darkness. With the coming of Lorwyn Eclipsed, the boundaries blur once more, and magic warps as the auroras shift.

In Lorwyn, the sun never sets. Its golden light nourishes idyllic glades, curious kithkin, and mischievous fae. But when the Great Aurora turns, the same lands awaken as Shadowmoor—a realm of perpetual night where fear twists familiar faces and hope grows scarce. These changes come without warning, driven by forces beyond mortal reckoning… the distant footfalls of Eirdu and Isilu.

🔥 Prerelease Weekend 🔥

Come down to Triangle Area Trading Cards and experience the eclipse firsthand at our Lorwyn Eclipsed Prerelease!

Friday, January 16th – 6:30 PM
Sunday, January 18th – 1:00 PM

Format: 3 rounds, Best of One
Prizing: 1 pack for playing + 1 pack per win

🌙 Additional Event 🌙

When the moon hangs full over Shadowmoor, return for our Lorwyn Eclipsed Draft:

Sunday, January 25th – 1:00 PM
Format: 3 rounds, Best of Three

The aurora is shifting. Old truths fade. New legends are born. Will you stand in the light… or embrace the night?

⚠️ Registration does not guarantee seating. Players must arrive in-store to pay and secure their spot.
