I Have Wings, Yet Cannot Fly 
Players Await Final Set of Lorwyn Block
With Lorwyn’s tribal theme proving popular to the masses, the end of the Morningtide pre-release left many players eager for more. Excitement is building among playgroups everywhere, and many player I’ve spoken to are already searching for places from which to preorder theme deck boxes from set three of Lorwyn Block.
Alvin Rizell, self proclaimed “kind of pro, maybe if I had more time” player, says that his treefolk deck is already dominating his play group. “I can’t wait for the next set. I already have almost enough treefolk for this deck to be awesome, so one more set full of good treefolk like the ones in Morningtide should give me the best deck in the format, no doubt about it.”
Local player Jason Bartholomew Tiggs, a longtime veteran of the prerelease and FNM 0-X brackets, also showed enthusiasm for the upcoming set. “With all the fun tribal interactions, it’s easy to not play any stupid instants or sorceries. I bet in the last set of this block we’ll have tribal creatures so that we don’t have to play dumb noncreature spells to give Tarmogoyf that extra +1/+1.”
Bobby Limner, age 11, was overheard to say, between sips of Mountain Dew: “Playing with all these creature cards is great! I bet the next set in Lorwyn block will be all creatures, that would be cool, since it’s all tribal themed and stuff. I wonder why they’ve never done that before.”
Yes, enthusiasm for the next set of magic is at a level nearly unheard of this early before it’s release. Only time will tell what surprise twist the end of the Lorwyn-Morningtide-???? trilogy holds, but the anticipation of it’s arrival is certainly infectious!
