Magic: The Gathering's Remand spell becomes Reprieve in Lord of the Rings expansion
Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Lord of the Rings expansion, “Tales of Middle-earth,” will feature incredible cards. As this set is only legal in Eternal formats, some classic cards could see reprints or remakes that can be used in other colors.

Commander and Modern players for Magic: The Gathering will certainly find something to love - and be frustrated with - with Remand getting a new form. This will be available in Lord of the Rings:
