The road to becoming a Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour champion is filled with intense competition and strategic brilliance, but only a few rise to the top. And at Pro Tour Lorwyn Eclipsed, these 8 players are about to battle it out for the ultimate prize.
Marco Belacca's Undefeated Run:
Marco Belacca, the Italian sensation, dominated Day One with a Jeskai Control deck, a strategy that relies on a single creature card. This unconventional approach proved effective against the creature-heavy meta, and Belacca remained undefeated. With his innovative deck, he's poised to claim his first Pro Tour victory.
But here's the twist: his deck contains zero creatures, relying solely on spells and control. Is this a genius move or a risky gamble?
Christoffer Larsen's Return to Glory:
Christoffer Larsen, a Danish powerhouse, is no stranger to success. With multiple Top finishes, he's a proven competitor. Despite falling short of a World Championship invitation in 2025, Larsen is back with a vengeance. Richmond might witness his long-awaited Pro Tour triumph.
Guglielmo Lupi's Rising Star:
Guglielmo Lupi is on a hot streak, winning the Magic Online Champions Showdown and reaching the finals of the European RC. His recent success has propelled him into the spotlight. Can he continue his winning ways and secure his first Pro Tour trophy?
Toni Portolan's Croatian Conquest:
Toni Portolan, the Croatian representative, has been a force in the late 2000s and 2025. With multiple Top 8 finishes, including Pro Tour Magic: The Gathering®—FINAL FANTASY™, he's a seasoned veteran. Richmond is his stage to showcase his skills and claim the Lorwyn Eclipsed title.
Eduardo Sajgalik's Izzet Elementals:
Eduardo Sajgalik has experienced Magic from all angles—as a player, commentator, and Limited testing leader. His qualifications for Lorwyn Eclipsed were well-earned. But it's his mighty Izzet Elementals deck that has everyone talking. Is this the deck to beat?
Luis Salvatto's Quest for a Second Title:
Luis Salvatto, the Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan champion, is back with a vengeance. His Dimir Excruciator deck is a force to be reckoned with. Salvatto and Team Cosmos Heavy Play are on a roll, and he aims to turn his opponents' doomsday into his triumph.
Francisco Sánchez's Digital to Tabletop Success:
Francisco Sánchez, a familiar face in the competitive scene, has transitioned from digital success to tabletop glory. His consistency and skill have him in contention for the 2025 Player of the Year title. Sánchez is determined to take the next step and claim the Lorwyn Eclipsed championship.
Cyprien Tron's Arena to Pro Tour Transition:
Cyprien Tron, a Mythic Invitational and Arena Championship winner, has proven his skills in the digital realm. Now, he's ready to conquer the tabletop Pro Tour. After a near-Top 8 finish at Pro Tour Edge of Eternities, Tron is prepared to showcase his prowess in Richmond.
As these players prepare for their epic showdown, the Magic community is buzzing with excitement. Who will emerge as the Pro Tour Lorwyn Eclipsed champion? Will it be the undefeated Belacca, the seasoned Larsen, or one of the rising stars? And what decks will reign supreme? The answers await us on Sunday, February 1st. Get ready for an unforgettable battle!
