Magic: The Gathering is continuing its crossover sets with the franchise that had more of an impact on the fantasy genre than any other: The Lord of the Rings. This means that Frodo Baggins, Gandalf, Sauron, and the One Ring will soon become part of the card game in the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set.
The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth is part of Magic: The Gathering’s Universes Beyond series, which accommodates all of the crossover content, such as the Warhammer 40,000 cards. The set includes 281 cards, along with alternate art versions of many cards. The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth will be Modern legal but not Standard legal and will be released in both Magic Online and MTG Arena. The set won’t feature any Planeswalkers, though it will have Legendary creatures, and it’s expected to be self-contained and won’t connect to the ongoing Magic: The Gathering storyline.
