Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Party
(January 30–February 5 and February 13–19)
The shifting landscape of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is as chaotic as it is breathtaking. Adapt to the changing duality of the plane at Lorwyn Eclipsed’s Commander Party events! Here, you’ll play a modified game of Commander, so bring your own decks or try out one of the Lorwyn Eclipsed preconstructed Commander decks.
You’re not just battling your three opponents; you’re also battling the frenetic nature of the plane. You’ll start the game on Lorwyn. As the game progresses, you’ll roll dice to trigger chaotic effects and shift from Lorwyn to Shadowmoor (and vice versa). When you switch to another aspect of the plane, you’ll also swap to a separate hand of cards. After all, transforming into your Lorwyn or Shadowmoor self often means losing your memories.
Participants who embrace the nature of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor at Commander Party events will receive the retro frame Farhaven Elf promo card described above while supplies last. Contact your local game store for more details.
