Canonicity

Torwynn was created by Jeff Franzmann as a part of his posts on Usenet in the official Deckmaster forums. It was then incorporated into a regular, official column in The Duelist, and eventually a book reviewed and edited by Beth Moursund, an employee of Wizards of the Coast.[12] Its canonicity has never been explicitly confirmed or denied, and lore consultant Jay Annelli considers the plane "semi-official."[13]
