Magic: The Gathering TCG – Lord of the Rings Card Deals
Legends of Middle-earth is the first complete expansion under the Magic Universe Beyond label, a series featuring unique game mechanics and stunning art. Inside are 30 card packs, each containing at least one shiny traditional foil card, one art card, and one rare or higher card. As you can imagine, these are beautifully illustrated, and even if you don’t plan on playing, it’s nice to display some pocket-sized art.
While it’s less popular, Amazon also discounts the Draft Booster box from $168 to $155. Designed for drafting decks and playing with friends, Draft Boosters are essentially quick combinations of cards so that everyone can (theoretically) play equally. The set includes 36 Tales of Middle-earth booster packs, each containing 15 MTG cards and a traditional foil borderless Realms & Relics box top card.
Another great way to start playing the game is with a ready-made starter deck. Right now, you can pick up a Lord of the Rings MTG deck for $22.80 (normally $36) and play a few games. This set is designed to be customized as you become familiar with the story of Middle-earth, but it’s a fun way to learn because it includes pre-made decks for two players. Once you’ve brushed up on the rules, you’re good to go, and you’ll be amazed at some of the beautifully illustrated cards in this deck.
Related to that compact art gallery, you can also choose a special edition scenario box that focuses purely on the stunning artwork found on the Tales of Middle-earth cards. Each of the four box sets depicts an epic scene from the Lord of the Rings books, illustrated through six borderless art cards, and the scenes can even be displayed using the paper easel included with each box. There are also 6 playable foil art cards in each set, and 3 12-card booster packs.
Only Gandalf in the Pelennor Fields is currently on sale—on sale for $25 instead of $32.85—but if you want to buy them all, we’ve listed the others below. There are also four-packs that include all four boxes to make things even more convenient.
During the Big Sale, you can also buy Magic cards outside of the Legends of Middle-earth set. One of the most notable offers is the Doctor Who Commander Deck Bundle, which includes all four Doctor Who decks for $129.
