Published 7 min read
Lorwyn Eclipsed went on sale in stores on January 23, 2026, under the set code ECL. It opened Wizards of the Coast’s 2026 schedule and took Magic back to Lorwyn and Shadowmoor, one plane split between endless day and endless night. The set has 417 entries, yet it holds 273 different cards over 398 collector numbers. Two-faced cards, which get one entry per face, explain the gap between entries and numbers; reprints at higher numbers explain the rest.
When did Lorwyn Eclipsed come out?
| What | Date |
|---|---|
| Debut stream | January 5, 2026 |
| Card previews | January 5 to 11 |
| Set release, in stores | January 23, 2026 |
By Rip.fan’s arithmetic, Lorwyn Eclipsed came 9 weeks after Avatar: The Last Airbender (November 21, 2025) and 6 weeks before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (March 6, 2026). Our Magic set release dates guide covers the rest of the calendar.
The story follows a group of Strixhaven students through the plane, and Seanan McGuire wrote the main story. The creature types of the two worlds include kithkin, boggarts, merfolk, elves and elementals.
Why does Lorwyn Eclipsed have 417 entries?
Each face of a two-faced card gets its own entry, numbered with an a and a b. Nineteen of the set’s collector numbers carry two faces, so 398 numbers plus 19 second faces gives 417.
Those 19 numbers hold two kinds of card:
- Seven double-faced cards, which fill 14 of the numbers because each is printed twice: first at 7, 13, 61, 76, 105, 124 or 199, and again at 285 to 291. Each has a different name on each face, such as Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight at 13, and Ashling, Rekindled // Ashling, Rimebound at 124.
- Five lands at 347 to 351: Hallowed Fountain, Steam Vents, Blood Crypt, Overgrown Tomb and Temple Garden. Each of these has two faces with the same name. The same five lands appear at 262 and 265 to 268 with one face.
Counting each two-faced card once, the set holds 273 different cards. When you look up a double-faced card, search under both names.
How is Lorwyn Eclipsed numbered?
Grouped by collector number:
| Collector numbers | Printings | What is there |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 268 | 268 | Every card except the basic lands, with the seven double-faced cards among them |
| 269 to 273 | 5 | The five basic lands |
| 274 to 283 | 10 | The basic lands again, two more of each |
| 284 to 291 | 8 | Ajani, Outland Chaperone and the seven double-faced cards again |
| 292 to 296 | 5 | Catharsis, Deceit, Emptiness, Vibrance and Wistfulness again |
| 297 to 346 | 50 | Repeats of earlier cards |
| 347 to 351 | 5 | The five lands named above, with two faces each |
| 352 to 381 | 30 | Repeats, including Bitterbloom Bearer at 352 |
| 382 to 391 | 10 | Repeats: six cards that are Rare at their first number and Mythic Rare here, and four that are Mythic Rare at their first number |
| 392 to 401 | none | No entries |
| 402 to 408 | 7 | Repeats, ending with Harmonized Crescendo at 408 |
No card first appears above 273, so every higher number reprints a card from the main run. 166 cards have one printing, 90 have two, 16 have three and one has four: Harmonized Crescendo, at 54, 357, 384 and 408.
What rarities are in Lorwyn Eclipsed?
| Rarity | Cards in ECL | At that rarity at their first number, 1 to 273 |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 81 | 81 |
| Uncommon | 100 | 100 |
| Rare | 65 | 65 |
| Mythic Rare | 28 | 22 |
| Land | 5 | 5 (the basic lands) |
The first column comes to 279, six more than the 273 cards. Those six are Rare at their first number and Mythic Rare at a second, all between 382 and 391:
| Card | Rare printing | Mythic Rare printing | Other printings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winnowing | 43 | 382 | 355 |
| Glen Elendra Guardian | 51 | 383 | 305 |
| Harmonized Crescendo | 54 | 384 | 357 and 408 |
| Bloodline Bidding | 91 | 385 | 359 |
| Collective Inferno | 132 | 387 | 363 |
| Selfless Safewright | 193 | 391 | 367 |
The other four cards at 382 to 391 are Mythic Rare at their first number. Only the five basic lands are rated Land; Hallowed Fountain and the other four lands named above are Rare at 262 and 265 to 268. Our Magic card rarities guide shows each rarity symbol.

How does Lorwyn Eclipsed compare with its neighbors?
The four sets of late 2025 and early 2026 compare like this:
| Spider-Man | Avatar | Lorwyn Eclipsed | TMNT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code | SPM | TLA | ECL | TMT |
| In stores | September 26, 2025 | November 21, 2025 | January 23, 2026 | March 6, 2026 |
| Entries | 300 | 414 | 417 | 300 |
| Collector numbers | 285 | 394 | 398 | 300 |
| Different cards | 193 | 286 | 273 | 195 |
| Numbers with two faces | 15 | 20 | 19 | 0 |
Lorwyn Eclipsed has the most entries of the four but fewer different cards than Avatar, because more of its numbers repeat an earlier card: 125 against Avatar’s 108. Each set has its own guide: Marvel’s Spider-Man, Avatar and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
What should you check before you buy?
- ECL or ECC. The Commander cards have their own code, so a listing should say which.
- Both names on a double-faced card. Search under each face’s name.
- The rarity symbol on 382, 383, 384, 385, 387 and 391. Those six cards are Mythic Rare there and Rare at their first number.
- The number on Hallowed Fountain and the other four lands. Each appears at two numbers, and only the later one has two faces.
- The language on a serialized card. Only English copies are serialized.
- Factory wrap on any booster box or other sealed product; see our guide to storing sealed product.
