Wizards of the Coast will be releasing The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™, the latest set and biggest collaboration to date for the world’s best trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Many of the characters, places and story moments, known and well-loved, have been expertly reimagined for the Magic universe through both art and gameplay mechanics. The set will release on tabletop on 23 June 2023 with more opportunities than ever to play for both new and experienced players.
The new set is the perfect entry point to MTG for new players, as beloved Middle-earth characters they know and trust will aid them on their journey. The set includes a themed Starter Kit, allowing new players to relive their favourite moments from the popular franchise, all while learning the world’s greatest trading card game. The kit includes two decks legal in Modern, basic learning materials, and tokens.
As an additional opportunity for newer players, exciting Celebration Events with prizes will be hosted on 1 to 2 July, as a way to learn to play in a casual setting. More details will be shared closer to date.
Fans of The Lord of the Rings and MTG alike will be amazed by The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™’s reimagining of familiar characters with immersive gameplay. As part of this massive collaboration, new Legendary Creature cards featuring Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Saruman, Éowyn, Frodo, and many more will make their impact as powerful cards and potential Commanders for fans of the multiplayer format.
The 1 of 1 Ring Promotion is an extraordinarily rare promotion only for The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™. One copy of this premium foil card with a raised gold foil treatment will be inserted into an English language Collector Booster, printed with 1 of 1 numbering and Elvish script. The precious One Ring could fall into the hands of any player, presenting a unique opportunity for collectors.

- Borderless Scene Cards: several iconic scenes ranging from 2×2 to 6×3 cards
