Top Lorwyn Eclipsed cards for MTG Commander

Polygon has identified the 12 best Commander cards from Magic: The Gathering’s Lorwyn Eclipsed set, after previews concluded ahead of the set’s full launch on Jan. 23.

The rundown highlights cards that fit established Commander strategies: Bloom Tender and other vivid cards favor five‑color builds; Thirst for Identity offers cheap draw‑three/discard interaction; Personify blinks creatures and creates a changeling token; Tam, Mindful First‑Year grants hexproof by color and can give a creature all colors; Bitterbloom Bearer produces flying faeries at the cost of life; Morningtide's Light exiles creatures and prevents damage until your next turn; Mirrorform can make your nonland permanents copies of a single non‑Aura permanent; Kinbinding boosts creatures based on how many entered that turn; Grave Venerations pairs monarch benefits with graveyard recursion; and Formidable Speaker supports elf and reanimation themes.

The list is presented as a guide for players looking to upgrade elf decks or exploit vivid in five‑color builds, with the full set of twelve cards intended to inform Commander deckbuilding as Lorwyn Eclipsed launches on Jan. 23.
