Jump Into Middle-earth Lands

When you play Jump Into Middle-earth events, you automatically receive a mix of basic lands based on the packets you choose, balanced for the costs and activated abilities on the spells in your packets.

You'll also receive nonbasic lands for play! Packets you choose will add dual lands in the colors appropriate to your deck.

Dismal Backwater Swiftwater Cliffs Thornwood Falls

If you haven't acquired these lands before, they'll be added to your collection. They’ll be factored in before basic lands are determined for your deck.

How Packet Selection Works

Jump Into Middle-earth will present you with three options for your first packet. At least one option will be a packet you've never selected in a previous run of the event (unless you've selected them all). There will always be at least one monocolor option and one multicolor option, and no options will have exactly the same color identity as another.

You will also be presented with three options for your second packet. The options for the second packet are based on the colors of your first packet selection:

  • If your first packet selection has one color, there will always be at least one monocolor option and at least one multicolor option. All multicolor options will contain the color of the first packet selection.
  • If your first packet selection has two colors, there will always be at least two monocolor options and at least one of each color. No monocolor option will be outside of the first packet selection's colors. If there is a multicolor option, its colors will be the same as the first packet selected.
