Oh. My. Pro Tour. Seven different decks in the Top 8, brand new archetypes that dominated the competition, and Badgermole Cub getting beaten into the dirt? Yes, please!
This was a heck of a ProTour to kick off 2026. On the heels of an incredibly strong set--Lorwyn Eclipsed--the chance for Standard to change on a massive scale was just on the horizon. The Pros got their hands on the cards and went to work, crafting Elemental decks and refining the Control and Reanimator archetypes. Today, we're looking back at ProTour Lorwyn Eclipsed and discussing the breakout decks, the matchups, and how Standard is in a really, really good place right now.
