MTG products for The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth
WotC didn’t hold back on the number of products players can purchase or pre-order for the MTG LotR Modern-legal Universes Beyond set. There are four preconstructed Commander decks, two bundles, Jumpstart boosters, Draft boosters, set boosters, collector booster packs, and a starter kit.
Product prices jumped following the global launch, especially any LTR product that contained an English collector booster pack as the search for The One Ring continued. The inquiry also significantly impacted the Gift Bundle price, driving it up to almost $200 because it contained one collector booster pack in its contents.
Prices of LTR products were still abnormally high as of June 30, following confirmation from WotC that The One Ring had been found and graded. As prices fall, updates will regularly take place.
