Frost Mage vs Lavamancer at Siege at the Core: An Important Update
31 October 2026

As we get closer to Siege at the Core, we want to address an important development regarding the release of Frost Mage vs Lavamancer and what it means for the tournament.
Erik’s Curiosa recently announced that the European release of Frost Mage vs Lavamancer has been delayed, with availability at European retailers now expected around December 9.
We understand that this raises questions and concerns, especially since Siege at the Core will be the first Grand Contest in Europe where Frost Mage vs Lavamancer is legal.
Frost Mage vs Lavamancer remains legal
First and foremost, we want to be clear: Frost Mage vs Lavamancer will be legal and allowed at Siege at the Core.
The delayed European release does not change the tournament’s card legality.
At the same time, we recognize that the delay creates a challenging situation for European players, who may have limited opportunities to get their hands on the new cards before the event.
We’re exploring our options
Behind the scenes, we’re actively exploring different possibilities to make Frost Mage vs Lavamancer as accessible as possible for players attending Siege at the Core.
Some of you may remember a similar situation with Gothic last year. Despite the product not being available through normal European distribution channels in time, we managed to organize two full days of Gothic Sealed.
While we cannot make any promises at this stage, we want you to know that we’re doing everything we can to make Frost Mage vs Lavamancer as widely available as possible at Siege at the Core.
Our goal is simple: we want as many players as possible to experience Frost Mage vs Lavamancer at Siege at the Core, regardless of the European distribution challenges.
We’ll keep you updated
We believe in being open and transparent with our community. As soon as we have concrete information or developments to share, we’ll communicate them directly.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued enthusiasm for Siege at the Core.
We’re just as excited as you are to see what Frost Mage vs Lavamancer will bring to the tournament!
Stay tuned for updates!
