The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth key art

The Lord of the Rings has come to Magic: The Gathering, and it's time to take familiar favorites on a whole new journey there and back again. In the upcoming set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, you'll have the chance to join the Fellowship in adventures filled with valor, courage, and second breakfast. Play your favorite moments of the third age, or turn Middle-earth on its head and surrender to the temptation of the Precious. Either way; Middle-earth is in your hands.
