Lorwyn Eclipsed Releases Tomorrow!

Have you ever been so unbelievably amped about something that you teamed up with The Jim Henson Company to create a puppetastic ode to it? Well, we have! It's almost time, folks!

Plains Island Swamp Mountain Forest Sleeve
  • In addition to those sleeves, the MTG Arena Store will be refreshed tomorrow with tons of new Lorwyn Eclipsed goodies, including card bundles, avatars, card styles, sticker and phrase emotes, and …
