Lorwyn Eclipsed is an upcoming premier set, returning to the plane of Lorwyn for the first time since 2008.[2][3] It is the 109th Magic expansion and will be released on January 23, 2026[1].
Set details
| “ | Return to the Land of Light and Shadow | ” |
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.[4][5] With the introduction of Universes Beyond sets into Standard, the release date was pushed back to early 2026.[2]
Similar to Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, the set will bring modern design sensibilities to a setting that under-performed on its first outing, while keeping some nostalgic elements of the original block[6] such as goblins, kithkin, faeries, and elves.[4]
Storyline
Dare to enter the ever-changing plane of Lorwyn and Shadowmoor and discover your true self. The set is the second in the third and final story arc of the Metronome storyline. What has been happening on the plane since the Lorwyn–Shadowmoor block is a big part of the storyline.[7]
