"At the end of the day

My father once told me that
The world has no borders"

LOTR ccgs just arent the same, without the 80/90s art:



Now that is a nice Gandalf.

Haha is this border part of this specific art or are all the apt art cards going to be in a Looney tunes hole?

Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.

If Gandalf the White isn't a Suspend card with no casting cost, what the gently caress will even be the point.

I HIGHLY disagree with this gorgeous art, if you're going to show Gandalf in Moria, fine. Why not do an alt treatment of him fighting the Balrog on Durin's Tower or if you're having him fall have him do the heavy metal poo poo like mounting the Balrog and fighting it as they're falling. Like what the gently caress this feels like art for a counterspell or something. :argh:

Hey! He mounts that fucker we've all seen it! As God intended, missionary style, and stabs that thing in the chest whilst falling into some unknown underground lake.

It was the most sexual the entire movie trilogy got this side of Frodo and Sam staring longingly at one another.

For sure. It's really cool for superfans to get to play with cards that tie-in with their favorite IP, but it's also cool if those of us who hate that poo poo don't have to play against Gandalf in every Modern deck until the end of time.

What’s the appeal there? Those lands look like an intern cropped a map from a book club printing of LOTR as the set was going to press.

This is an extremely cool frame.

I have very little interest in the set from a purchasing or playing perspective, but I'm glad they seem to be doing things well so far.

I'm also on Team Hobbits Should Be Kithkin If Not Mechanically Then Stylistically.

I thought the triangle and frame were Warhammer things. Good they're consistent but they really clash with the LotR theme.

Roman Reigns fights CM Punk in fantasy warld. Lotsa violins, so littl kids cant red it.


As a Critical Role fan, I'm also a big fan of Deven Rue's maps, so I'm stoked to see them as the full art lands for LotR. There's also some personal nostalgia there as my dad was a big LotR dork and read them to me as a kid, so I'm 100% the target for this kind of set.

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

I'm stoked. I loved LotR as a kid because my dad loved it and I was fantasy-obsessed, then the movies came out when I was in high school - absolute perfect timing. I need to develop a buy strategy for when it drops. I want a full collection of singles, I want the commander precons, and I will probably want to make some extra commander decks at similar power levels to the precons. It would be so cool to have a battle box of like 20 decks with the fellowship and other major characters/antagonists represented as commanders. I can finally live my dream of Shelob going 1v1 against Bill the pony

E: but all this poo poo is going to cost more than I can spend on my dumb hobby so I need a plan!

They're not discussing what "The Ring tempts you" actually means. Annoying!

Although from context it just seems like Poison Counters / Corrupted with variable numbers for different effects unlike Corrupted which is just at 3+.

I don't know why that is something they would want to print. Nothing reasonable is going to come from that card.
