Go for the big finish. Buy time with an innocuous army while you build to a game-winning mystic explosion. Demolish the board with a cataclysmic spell that will set records every time you play the deck. Mages are measured by the spells they wield, so why not wield the biggest ones?

The first of the two-set Shadowmoor block, this set takes the Lorwyn setting in a darker direction. The Aurora has plunged Lorwyn into eternal night, transforming the onceidyllic plane into the eerie world of Shadowmoor. The gloom has transformed its denizens, too – creatures of fable have become monsters from dark fairytales. Races and characters introduced in Lorwyn are back, but with twisted allegiances and new powers!

In Shadowmoor, even the all-new game mechanics are warped. While it has already been revealed that hybrid mana costs blend to create powerful combinations on over a third of the cards in the 301 card set.
