Magic: The Gatherings Next Big Crossover Series – The Lord of the Rings: Tales from Middle-earth – got a splash, hour-long preview on Tuesday highlighted by the reveal of the truly unique One Ring card. Consider it below:
That’s right, like the One Ring itself there is only one of these cards, a serialized, foil-printed 1-of-1 collectible printed in the Black Speech of Sauron. This valuable card is found by an (unlucky) fan who buys a Collector Booster Pack for The Lord of the Rings: Tales from Middle-earth when the series launches later this summer.
If the One Ring eludes you, you may find Collector Booster versions of the Sun Ring themed after the Rings of Power created for the Elves, Dwarves and Men of Middle-earth. Wizards of the Coast announced that 300 numbered Elven Sol Ring double rainbow foil cards will be printed, along with 700 Dwarven Sol Rings and 900 Human Sol Rings. The non-foil versions of the Sol Ring cards will be printed in runs of 19,000.
The Lord of the Rings: Tales from Middle-earth will include dozens more depictions of fan-favorite characters, locations, and scenes from the fantasy trilogy. These cards are legal in Modern and Commander (and other Eternal formats) and playable in Draft and Sealed Deck formats.
Here are the remains of The Lord of the Rings: Tales from Middle-earth Maps were unveiled this week.
