THIRD EYE SPOTLIGHT: MAGIC THE GATHERING DUSKMOURN – HOUSE OF HORRORS
August 30th, 2024
Hey Third Eye Faithful,
We know, it’s been a minute since we’ve got some brand new magic in, but not to worry, we’ve got a Magic Set that will speak for itself. Say goodbye to the whimsical world of “Bloomburrow”—it’s making way for a spine-chilling house of horrors, DUSKMOURN!!! The VHS style design of this set was inspired by horror media from the last 30 or 40 years- think 80’s horror films, like Fright Night or Slasher!! An infinite loop of terror and nightmares that only a skilled wizard could escape. Definitely a serious tone switch compared to the previous set!!
DUSKMOURN STORYLINE: WHAT’S WITH ALL THE HORROR?
This set takes place in the world of Duskmourn, which consists of one plane that is a giant haunted mansion filled with nothing but horrors and is ruled by the demonic “Valgavoth.” “Nashi,” son of the Planeswalker “Tamiyo,” has mysteriously vanished through a strange door, leaving only a glitchy recording of a terrifying new world. Join an ensemble cast of “Niko Aris, Tyvar Kell, Zimone Wola, Kaito Shizuki,” and the “Wanderer” as they fight to survive in this nightmarish plane!!

DOUBLE EXPOSURE AND TEXTURED FOIL DOUBLE EXPOSURE – There’s a flash of a camera within the House … then another!

PARANORMAL FRAME – Looks like our camera was haunted! The survivors’ tech is being turned against them, as seen on the eerie paranormal frame cards.
