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.
