Lorwyn Eclipsed is an upcoming premier set, returning to the plane of Lorwyn for the first time since 2008.[3][4] It is the 109th Magic expansion and will be released on January 23, 2026[1]. A return to Lorwyn was first teased during the 2023 Announcement Day panel at Gen Con Indiana with an expected release date in Q4, 2025.[5][6] With the introduction of Universes Beyond sets into Standard, the release date was pushed back to early 2026.[3] Similar to Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, the set brings modern design sensibilities to a setting that under-performed on its first outing, while keeping some nostalgic elements of the original block such as goblins, kithkin, faeries, and elves.[5][7]
