Edge of Eternities Errata
Diplomatic Relations has the following errata
We are aware of an issue in which the card Diplomatic Relations from Edge of Eternities was printed with missing rules text that affects its functionality. The printed version reads:
Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains vigilance until end of turn. It deals damage equal to its power to target creature an opponent controls.
The corrected rules text reads:
Target creature you control gets +1/+0 and gains vigilance until end of turn. It deals damage equal to its power to target creature an opponent controls.
This is an official update to rules text that should be reflected in play. Corrected text will appear on MTG Arena, Gatherer, and Magic Online.

Artificer
Due to problems with cover warping, the Eberron Artificer book has been delayed until late November.
We want to share an important update about Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.
A few weeks ago, we received the first printed copies of the book. At first, everything looked great and met our production standards. But over time, a serious issue emerged: the covers began to warp. This was a defect that developed after production and wasn’t visible during initial inspection.
After reviewing the full scope of the issue, we made the tough decision to recall and reprint the entire physical run. No copies with this defect will be shipped to customers. This is a complete reprint, not a patch job, and we believe it’s the right call.
We know many players expected digital access earlier, but to preserve the integrity of the experience and ensure a unified release, we’ve aligned both physical and digital editions to a single timeline. Both versions will now officially launch on December 9, 2025.
Key Dates for WPN Release
November 25, 2025 – Early Access Begins [North America Only]
Customers purchasing through participating WPN stores will be eligible to pick up their corrected physical copies starting this date two weeks ahead of global release.
December 9, 2025 – Global Release
All remaining physical copies and digital editions go live.

DCC Day
Today is DCC Day. While quantities last, come in and take one each of the Adventure Packs free. Each features a low level adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics and Either X-Crawl or Mutant Crawl Classics. We also have a number of limited edition DCC items available for purchase but quantities on those are extremely short.

Final Fantasy
We expect a small restock of Final Fantasy boosters to arrive later this week, both play and collector as well as 1, that is one, bundle. Based on the amount of interest, we do not expect these to last the weekend.

Fantastic Four #1
We sold out of the relaunch of Fantastic Four on Wednesday but got in more copies on Thursday so we have them in stock if you want to snag a copy. Remember, to get one of the spiffy FF cloisonné pins, bring in a ticket from the movie, buy $10 worth of Fantastic Four books and pick a pin.

superman Movie
So far I am hearing very good reviews of the new Superman movie, despite those complaining because Kal-El is shown as an immigrant to the planet, which he is. "Strange visitor from another world" and all that as the original original had it. If you see the movie, bring in your ticket and purchase $10 worth of Superman books, we will give you a reproduction of Adventure Comics #210, featuring the first appearance of Krypto.
