Magic: The Gathering (MTG) fans experienced an unexpected turn of events during the Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease weekend. Initially meant to celebrate the new set, the event quickly became overshadowed by the emergence of TMNT cards.

Wizards Unveils 61 TMNT Cards Following Prerelease Issue

Leaks of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) cards from the Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease kits flooded the internet. This led to the premature spoilage of nearly all rare and mythic cards, diverting attention from the anticipated release.

Wizards of the Coast Responds

Wizards of the Coast confirmed the leaks through social media and subsequently revealed all 61 TMNT cards in a detailed spoiler drop. This decision mirrors a similar approach taken during the Modern Horizons 3 release when unofficial spoilers surfaced online.

Impact on Lorwyn Eclipsed

The early leaks left many players feeling disappointed. In response, Wizards announced plans for a new Lorwyn Eclipsed event to restore focus on the set. Details regarding this upcoming event remain under wraps.

Upcoming TMNT Set and Card Release

With the majority of the TMNT rares and mythics revealed, the spoiler season for this set will feel unusual. While many exciting cards have been disclosed, numerous commons and uncommons are yet to be unveiled. The prerelease for the TMNT set is slated for February 27th.

Introducing Turncoat Kunoichi

Amidst the leaks, one card, Turncoat Kunoichi, was not immediately highlighted. This white creature offers unique exile removal options, especially when utilizing the Sneak cost effectively. Such flexibility could benefit strategies reliant on unblockable creatures.
