Is Lorwyn Eclipsed Actually Magic Again? A legacy Player Review

Lorwyn Eclipsed is finally a real Magic set again — and that matters more than you think.

In this episode of the Eternal Durdles Cast, Phil and Zac break down Lorwyn Eclipsed through a Legacy lens, card by card, while also tackling the bigger question:

👉 Can Magic still be Magic in a world dominated by Modern Horizons design and Universes Beyond?

We cover:

• Why Lorwyn Eclipsed feels like “actual Magic cards”

• How Orcish Bowmasters and Tamiyo quietly invalidate huge swaths of design

• Why many cards look playable but fail Legacy’s current power bar

• Which cards might actually matter (Deceit, Moon Shadow, Merfolk)

• Goblins quietly getting meaningful role-player upgrades

• Why wrath effects disappearing changes tribal decks forever

• The problem with “no interaction” hatebear design

• What Legacy could look like if the format weren’t so homogenized

This isn’t a hype video — it’s a reality check.
Some of these cards are interesting. Some are dead on arrival. And a few reveal just how warped Legacy has become.

If you care about:

• Legacy as a format

• Thoughtful card design

• Magic that isn’t just IP soup

…this one’s for you.
