Storage Tip: Serialized foils use a copper alloy etch that can fingerprint easily. Sleeve them with soft cloth gloves and use non-acetone cleaning pads before grading submissions.

Commander & Eternal Staples to Prioritize

  • Aang, the Last Airbender – Flip condition demands all four elements; pick up Omnath, Locus of Creation and Chromatic Lantern for support.
  • Toph, the Blind Bandit – Works with existing +1/+1 counter decks; snag Doubling Season or Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider.
  • Katara, the Fearless – Loves flash enablers like Leyline of Anticipation and waterbend support from Flexible Waterbender.
  • Fire Lord Zuko – Treasure storm payoff; pair with Professional Face-Breaker and Revel in Riches.
  • Yue, the Moon Spirit – Phasing queen; combine with Teferi’s Protection and Out of Time for locks.

We’ve tagged each of these in the card database so you can filter by “Commander Power Picks” using the on-site search tools.

Accessories & Storage

  • Ultra Pro Avatar Playmat – Features Aang mid-air leap; perfect for protecting serialized foils.
  • Element Nation Sleeves – Each pack includes 100 sleeves stylized after air, water, earth, and fire icons.
  • Deck Boxes – Bundle deck box fits 100 double-sleeved cards; Fire Nation edition arrives in December via WPN stores.
  • Token Pack – Contains 60 bending tokens labeled with earthbend/waterbend reminders for teaching new players.

All accessories list via Amazon seller pages the week of release—set an alert so you can add them to your bundle or booster order.

Upgrade Path into Lorwyn Eclipsed

The next major Magic release revisits Lorwyn with a twilight twist that perfectly supports Avatar strategies:

  • Elemental Incarnations like Deceit trigger when you spend specific color pairs, mirroring multi-color bending decks.
  • Changelings help tie together Avatar tribal themes—use them as honorary sky bison or Kyoshi warriors in Commander builds.
  • Ashling’s Command offers modal value that copies Elementals (ideal for Appa tokens) or sweeps small blockers for Zuko.

Preorders are already up, and quantities tend to spike closer to launch, so locking in your box now is the safest route.

Reserve your Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Box

Collector Action Plan

  1. Week 1: Open one bundle and one booster box. Catalog serialized numbers, take high-res photos, and submit mint hits for grading before holiday delays.
  2. Week 2: Trade duplicate legends for missing bending uncommons; build initial Commander shells.
  3. Week 3: Integrate digital codes into Arena for Alchemy testing. Document match data using the site’s telemetry tools.
  4. Week 4: Prep for Lorwyn Eclipsed by acquiring Elemental staples—Smokebraider, Omnath variants, and Thunderkin Awakener.
  5. Ongoing: Update your collection tracker in /collection to mark foil, showcase, and serialized statuses. Our local app supports tags like “Avatar State” for rapid filtering.

Final Thoughts

Collecting Avatar isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s the launch pad for months of multi-color, mechanic-rich Magic. Keep this checklist bookmarked, revisit it after every pack opening, and you’ll stay ahead on promos, serialized hits, and supporting upgrades. When Lorwyn Eclipsed lands, you’ll be ready with the Elemental infrastructure to keep Team Avatar in the spotlight all season long.
