Five-Color Rails Rule Lorwyn Eclipsed Draft

Pro Tour Lorwyn Eclipsed in Richmond centers on five core creature-type archetypes for a tight, six-round Limited draft, with five color-pair decks (Merfolk, Kithkin, Elves, Elementals, Goblins) and a vivid multi-color Elementals option driving an on-rails drafting environment. Elves currently lead thanks to graveyard synergies, while the Elementals shell relies on cards like Shinestriker and Explosive Prodigy for punch; key payoffs include Morcant's Loyalist/Eyes, Trystan's Command, Moon-Vigil Adherents, Sunderflock, and Ashling's Command. Draft strategy emphasizes committing early to a core archetype and balancing board presence with card economy, all within a fast-paced format; the author will be commentating with Paul Cheon on the stream.

Rare ELVES Phenomenon Captured as Red Atmospheric Circle.

A rare atmospheric event known as an ELVE, or Emission of Light and Very Low-Frequency perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Sources, was captured on camera in the Italian sky. ELVES are an excitation of nitrogen in the atmosphere caused by electrical discharges, taking the color red like in the lower edges of northern lights. They are flat and can extend for hundreds of kilometers in the ionosphere. These peculiar events were only discovered in 1990 by the crew of Space Shuttle Discovery on the mission that sent the Ulysses probe to study the Sun.
