For fans new and old across Magic and The Lord of the Rings, this is a chance to celebrate with an unforgettable event for an amazing set. We'll show you more about the Magic Celebration event later this year. Secret Lair Joins the Fellowship There are a total of four commander precons for this set, and each one has some high-dollar inclusions. As well as several playable dual lands of lesser value that players will be happy to have, and the staples like Sol Ring , Arcane Signet , & Command Tower . It's worth noting that many, if not all, of these cards will drop some from the current prices because of being reprinted. So, be sure to keep that in mind. An alternative to your two main hobbits are Merry, Warden of Isengard and Pippin, Warden of Isengard. These also partner with each other and keep the Food theme going. Then, if you have six or more humans, you’re also drawing a card for your troubles. Eowyn brings you halfway to this total; by casting her alone you’ll have three humans by the end of the turn. Repeat this next turnand you’ve already hit six.

Whether you're brand new or a returning player, new ideas and fresh perspectives help Magic grow and evolve into an ever more exciting and interesting adventure. And you know how it feels the worst when you cast an expensive spell, and your opponent just uses a Counterspell? Well, this won’t completely stop Sauron, as it comes with a cast-trigger. When you cast it you get to ammas Orcs 5 (whatever this means, but you likely make a 5/5 orc Army), mill five cards, then get a creature from your graveyard directly onto the battlefield.

In short: the goal is to not be the archenemy at the table and instead work with the other players to take out other threats -- all while you're setting up to snag victory once your opponents have wasted their resources! The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™ Jumpstart Volume 2—adding more themes to mix and match within The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth.

These four variant scene cards are included only in the Bundle and Bundle: Gift Edition (plus non-foil versions in Collector Boosters) and depict the pivotal moment before the One Ring was destroyed. You can see this scene in a two-by-two card grid, but other scenes exist in a range of grids all the way up to six by three cards—worthy of showing an epic scene!The following two options are Círdan the Shipwright and Elrond of the White Council. They both have secret council abilities that can be fun for political gameplay. Elrond of the White Council in particular can be super fun to play at the right time.
