Lorwyn Eclipsed delivers new toys for Blue mages that make you reread the card, then reread it again, then start mentally rearranging your deck to see where it fits.

These Blue cards are playful, dangerous, and deeply Commander-aware. They turn interaction into board presence, turn permanents into reflections of your best decisions, and turn tribal commitments into explosive refills. The kind where the table stops, squints at the card, and asks, "Wait... how does that work again?"

If you enjoy Blue cards that do more than just say "no," this batch is going to make you very happy.

Glen Elendra's Answer

What do you do when the stack is cluttered with spells and abilities that will absolutely wreck your gameplan? The answer is Glen Elendra! Err.... Glen Elendra's Answer, rather.

This instant cannot be countered, counters ALL spells and abilities and then replaces and gives you Faerie tokens equal to the total spells and abilities countered.

In Magic, countering a spell is often a tempo-neutral exchange. You stop a threat, but you do not advance your own board. Glen Elendra's Answer breaks that pattern. You interact, then you get paid in evasive bodies.

Key cards that pair well:

• Talrand, Sky Summoner - Talrand already rewards you for playing instants. Glen Elendra's Answer doubles down by turning interaction into both Drakes and Faeries.
• Skullclamp - Turning those Faeries into cards is exactly what Blue wants to be doing after trading on the stack.
• Mystic Sanctuary - A Blue mage's staple that lets you recycle Glen Elendra's Answer for future arguments. Your opponents will remember the first time. They will not enjoy the second.

Mirrorform

Mirrorform is as silly to resolve as it reads. This will definitely cause the entire table to pause, read, and think about the different ways this will mess up their game plans.

Turning every nonland permanent you control into a copy of the best one you have is a scaling effect that Blue decks can exploit in a dozen ways. Mana rocks become your best artifact. Creatures become your best creature. Value engines replicate themselves.

This is not a combo card by default. It is a payoff card. The more thoughtfully you build your board, the more absurd Mirrorform becomes.

Key cards that pair well:

• Biovisionary - Instant win before your end step? Yes, please.
• Blightsteel Colossus - One of these indestructible and poisonous behemoths is already a nightmare. A couple? Game ending.
• Forced Fruition - An oldie from original Lorwyn that can outright mill your opponent when they don't expect to draw a bajillion cards after casting one spell.

Harmonized Crescendo

Harmonized Crescendo is an instant version of Distant Memory that could cost 2 more additional mana or zero. Convoke makes it easier to cast in creature-heavy decks, and the draw scaling rewards commitment rather than splashy one-offs.

Drawing a card for each permanent you control of a chosen type turns boards into refill engines. Your army of Merfolk, Faeries, Wizards, and even Shapeshifters reloads your hand after you have already committed to the board.

Key cards that pair well:

• Kindred Discovery - A kindred all-star that complements Harmonized Crescendo by drawing cards throughout the game rather than in one resolution.
• Reflections of Littjara - Copying creatures of a chosen type increases both your board and the number of cards you can potentially draw.
• Maskwood Nexus - Makes sure that ALL your creatures count to the number of cards you draw.

Rimefire Torque

Rimefire Torque is a low investment in a spellslinger deck with kindred leanings. Choosing a creature type on entry sets the tone. From there, every permanent of that type adds counters, and those counters convert directly into copied spells.

The more you commit to a specific creature type, the more Rimefire Torque rewards you.

Key cards that pair well:

• Springleaf Parade - Yes, this is a Green card but it gives you a scaling ETB trigger with how many 1/1 changelings it pumps out.
• Solve the Equation - Any tutor is an easy pairing, of course.
• Archmage Emeritus - Nets you cards from copying spells.

Loch Mare

Loch Mare is one of the most interesting Blue creatures in the set. It enters smaller than it looks, but it brings its own counters and lets you convert them into cards or control.

Removing counters to draw keeps your hand stocked. Removing two to tap a creature or replace a stun counter creates tempo swings that Blue decks thrive on.

This card plays well in control shells that want a body without committing to aggression, and in counter-focused builds that already care about tracking resources.

Key cards that pair well:

• Thrummingbird - Proliferation keeps Loch Mare stocked with counters so it can keep doing its job.
• Tezzeret's Gambit - This card reinforces counter-based play while drawing more cards.
• Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus - Doubles your proliferates so that your Loch Mare is stocked well.

Tips and Tricksters

Blue's offerings in Lorwyn Eclipsed are about payoff. About taking actions you already want to take and getting something extra for your trouble. These cards reward intentional play. They make sequencing matter. They make timing matter. And they make opponents pay attention, even when it's not technically their turn.

If this set is any indication, Blue in Lorwyn Eclipsed is less interested in stopping the game and more interested in reshaping it.
