Wizards of the Coast’s Magic: The Gathering has come out with a new expansion called Lorwyn Eclipsed: Return to the Land of Light and Shadow. To celebrate the news (and encourage people to buy it), Wizards partnered with Jim Henson Company to create a bombastic and inspiring music video, which includes characters created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

The clip is a fun watch, even if you’ve never played Magic: The Gathering. It features one creature from sunny Lorwyn named Squen who’s a little bit dark, and a vibrant monster named Cragg from always-dark Shadowmoor. Their lands are divided by a purple sparkly fog, and they each look longingly at each other’s half of a single plane of existence. Cragg wants to see Lorwyn and sniff all the flowers to death, while Squen wants to find Shadowmoor’s darkest depths, where anarchy will set him free. (Fun!)

There are more delightful lines in the video that I won’t spoil here, but the song also hints that the divide between their two worlds may come undone. Will the two become whole (perhaps literally) when it does so? Perhaps, if they play their cards right.

Lorwyn Eclipsed is now available for preorder and is set to come out on January 23, 2026.
