The fairies and elves of the award-winning Lorwyn set are back in the Morningtide expansion! We review the new cards here.

The faerie magic of the power them up. There are also three new abilities to give you new strategies. Check 'em out:

  • Prowl - Damage your opponent with a creature and you can play Prowl cards for cheaper, with extra bonuses, or both!
  • Reinforce - Rather than using a card normally, pay the Reinforce cost to add some +1/+1 counters to your creatures.
  • Kinship - At the start of your turn, flip the top card of your deck. If it matches a creature with Kinship you activate a power!

Theme Deck Throwdown 2b3qi

It's $4 for a 16-card Booster Pack of random cards, but for $9 you can pick up a 40-card Theme Deck and know exactly what you're getting. Not only that, Theme Decks are a great way for new players to get started because they're designed to kick butt as soon as you give 'em a good shuffle. Here's the scoop on each deck.

  • Battalion - Command legions of soldiers to attack your opponent in deadly teams.
  • Going Rogue - Fast attacks with deadly creatures help you activate your Prowl cards. Watch out for the lack of defense though.
  • Shamanism - Slowly build up your army of unstoppable treemen until you're ready to crush your opponent flat!
  • Warrior's Code - Elvish warriors and huge monsters let you beat your opponent into a paste.
  • Wizards?!? - Someone forgot to make a wizards Theme Deck! Booo... Gandalf is angry.
