Remember when Wizards of the Coast created the Play booster, which combined the existing Draft boosters and Set boosters into one product as a means to minimize the number of different products available to consumers? Well, forget about that, because it looks like there are more new products coming our way with the release of Lorwyn Eclipsed early next year. And there might be some unfortunate price hikes on the products we already know, too.

New Products, Who Dis?

The news comes courtesy of a few sources on Reddit, for example u/Copernicus1981, who detailed the product line-up for Lorwyn Eclipsed, as well as MSRP changes associated with those products, based on numbers that MTG distributors have already posted online.

The first standout from the list is the introduction of two new products, a Draft-in-a-box style product currently labeled โ€œDraft Nightโ€, as well as a set of 60-card decks currently running with the working title of โ€œPreconstructed Decksโ€, rumored to actually be called โ€œTheme Decksโ€.

Draft Night is described as containing the following items:

  • 12 Play Boosters (enough for a 4-player Draft)
  • 1 Collector Booster (presumably as a prize for first place?)
  • 90 Basic Lands (that's 18 of each basic; better hope two players don't both draft mono-black).

The MSRP for Draft Night is currently set at $90. If you factor in the MSRP price changes to Collector boosters, you get a breakdown that looks something like this:

  • 12 Play Boosters * $5.50 each = $66
  • 1 Collector Booster * $27 (new adjusted MSRP) = $27
  • 90 Basic Lands = functionally $0

The total comes out to $93, so you're basically just paying the normal price you'd pay to buy these items individually. It's possible Draft Night comes with other goodies we don't know about, like some sort of unique promos, dice, etc., but barring any add-ons, you're probably just better off buying the Play boosters you want for a draft with your friends. If you intend to draft with more than four players, you'll need more than 12 Play boosters anyway. This really comes down to the Collector booster; if that's not something you actively want just to fire a Draft with some friends, then there's no need to purchase this product.

MTG Core Set 2020 Planeswalker Decks

Second up are the โ€œPreconstructed Deckโ€, or possible Theme Decks. There are two individual decks with an MSRP of $24 each, which seems reasonable if the decks are even semi-competitive. Intro-style decks like this in the past have generally been pretty poor quality, including the long run of Planeswalker decks that accompanied new sets. Unless there's a chase rare, alternate arts, or exclusive cards in these decks, chances are these will be pretty forgettable for anyone but new players. Of course, we don't know the contents of the decks yet, and these products sometimes include extra boosters, so there could be some value here at the current price. There's a high chance these are aimed at Standard players.

Other Price Hikes

Unfortunately, the product news also reveals some price increases to typical Magic products as well.

Play boosters are set to stay the same with an MSRP of $5.50 (remember that Universes Beyond sets have a higher MSRP than regular Magic sets). However, pretty much everything else is going up, including the following:

An increase in the price of individual Collector boosters also implies an increase in Collector booster boxes, though those have been on the fritz since Final Fantasy anyway. Also disappointing to see price increases for Commander precons too, given that they're one of the most accessible ways for new players to get involved in Magic's biggest format. Lorwyn Eclipsed has two Commander decks, both of which will now be more expensive by default.

Edge of Eternities Bundle

The Bundle increase is a bit confusing though. Bundles are generally made up of Play boosters, but the price of individual Play boosters isn't changing, so why the increase for Bundles? It's possible they'll be offering some new incentive for Bundles, but they typically already come with a unique die, an exclusive promo, and a ton of full-art lands, so there's not much else they can offer besides more packs to justify the price increase here.

Magic: The Gathering Edge of Eternities - Bundle
  • BATTLE FOR THE FATE OF A DYING STARโ€”Explore distant planets, wield dazzling magic, and wage war with alien factions
  • LAUNCH YOUR COSMIC COLLECTIONโ€”Behold the wonders of the Sothera system with a Bundle full of out-of-this-world cards and play accessories
  • ALTERNATE-ART PROMO CARDโ€”Every Bundle comes with 1 promo card featuring Bundle-exclusive alternate art and a shiny Traditional Foil treatment
  • 9 BOOSTERS FOR PLAYING WITH FRIENDSโ€”Perfect for building decks, playing Limited games, and tons of fun to open, this Bundle includes 9 Play Boosters, with at least 1 Traditional Foil card and the possibility of multiple Rares in every pack
  • BORDERLESS LAND CARDSโ€”Explore The Edge with 15 Traditional Foil and 15 nonfoil Basic Land cards, including 10 Borderless Lands (5 foil, 5 nonfoil) offering cosmic vistas

Regardless, โ€œmore products and higher pricesโ€ is probably not the tagline people want to hear going into 2026, especially for Universes Beyond haters who have to slog through Spider-Man and Avatar for the remainder of 2025 just to get to the next in-universe Magic set. Lorwyn Eclipsed will probably have its fair share of hype anyway, it's just a shame to see that it'll be ushering in more expensive prices for normal Magic sets, given how expensive the Universes Beyond stuff is already.

      Leaks can refer to things other than cards.
