A Magical Weekend with Lorwyn: Unveiling the Eclipsed Prerelease
The Lorwyn Love Affair
This past weekend, the passion for Lorwyn truly shone through. Your enthusiasm was infectious, from sharing your lucky card pulls to celebrating packed local game stores and crafting sweet decks, especially those Merfolk masterpieces. It's safe to say your joy contributed to one of the most vibrant and memorable Prerelease weekends we've ever experienced. The love for Lorwyn Eclipsed was palpable, and we're overjoyed to see it!
However, amidst the near-perfect weekend, a curious twist emerged.
The Unexpected Twist
Imagine our surprise when we discovered that a handful of players received foil rares and mythic rares from the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set! It was an unplanned surprise, not part of any promotion. Most of you seemed to embrace the unexpected twist, even with a few non-Lorwyn Eclipsed cards joining the battlefields. But let's be honest, it wasn't quite the intended experience.
There were far more Turtles of the non-changeling kind than we anticipated. While we understand if you found it intriguing, it might have felt a tad disrespectful to Lorwyn Eclipsed, which deserved its moment in the spotlight.
Embracing the Lorwyn Legacy
To address this, we're taking action. First, we're updating the Magic: The Gathering® | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Card Image Gallery (https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/card-image-gallery) to showcase all the rares and mythic rares from the main set. We want to ensure you have easy access to these cards in one official place. It's ready for exploration now!
And to keep the Lorwyn Eclipsed celebration going, we're cooking up something special. We're a bit behind, but we wanted to share this update sooner rather than later. We're assessing the extent of the issue and working on a unique, behind-the-scenes initiative related to Lorwyn Eclipsed for affected stores. We're incredibly proud of this set and want to ensure it gets the recognition it deserves.
Preview Season: A New Adventure
The preview season for Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will undoubtedly take an unexpected turn, but we're committed to sharing some incredible art, treatments, and cards to celebrate over 40 years of TMNT through Magic. We're excited to explore new ways to showcase this collaboration.
Lorwyn Eclipsed: A Set to Remember
Lorwyn Eclipsed is a true gem, and we want to continue celebrating its magic with you all. Make sure to explore Lorwyn Eclipsed on MTG Arena and Magic Online now, and then embark on a journey to your local game store or your preferred Magic retailer this Friday, January 23, when Lorwyn Eclipsed officially releases worldwide.
And this is the part most people miss: the unexpected twists and turns of a Prerelease weekend can lead to some of the most memorable experiences. So, what do you think? Was the unexpected inclusion of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cards a fun surprise or a distraction from the Lorwyn Eclipsed spotlight? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
