Wizards of the Coast went all in on The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Modern-legal Magic: The Gathering set, designing over 30 staple characters from the lore as legendary creatures.
Containing 281 regular cards, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth (LTR) set is Modern-legal and will have its own Limited Draft and Sealed format. WotC designed a full set around the popular IP, with a focus on recognizing a wide variety of characters from movies and books.
Over 30 legendary creatures were revealed during the LTR spoilers preview stream on May 30, showcasing a variety of characters with a rarity from Uncommon to Mythic Rare. Only legendary creatures from the main set are featured in this compilation list.

As of May 30, official LTR spoilers have begun. As more cards get previewed over the coming week, the list of legendary Lord of the Rings creatures will likely grow. I’ve laid out the list in three different ways: A visual card gallery at the top of the article, a Moxfield list, and an alphabetical list—because I like alphabetical. The Moxfield list will become available shortly.
