Previews for the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set have begun. Rather than focusing on what feels like a never ending season of previews, today is all about a card that will become a much sought after, perhaps the most sought after, Magic card in a very long time.
At the heart of Lord of the Rings is the One Ring, the embodiment of Sauron’s power. Unsurprisingly, the ring will make an appearance in the set but can it really be the One Ring To Rule Them All if we all have one? This conundrum occurred to Wizards of the Coast and they solved it.
As Wizards puts it, “And so, as part of an extraordinarily rare and exciting promotion only for The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, we made one such card.” Lurking in a single English-language The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Collector Booster will be a single (yes, just one) serialized version of The One Ring in a traditional foil design printed in the Black Speech of Sauron using Tengwar letterforms.
On the left below, the single serialized One Ring and on the right, the regular version:


The set will also feature the Rings of Power that were crafted for the Elves, Dwarves, and mortal men of Middle-earth. These will be themed versions of the venerable Sol Ring, available again only in Collector Booster packs. These will be written in the language of the High Elves, Quenya, in Tengwar letterforms. Serialized versions will also be available but in more significant quantities:
- 300 Serialized double rainbow foil Sol Ring (Elven)
- 700 Serialized double rainbow foil Sol Ring (Dwarven)
- 900 Serialized double rainbow foil Sol Ring (Human)
- 3,000 Non-foil Sol Ring (Elven)
- 7,000 Non-foil Sol Ring (Dwarven)
- 9,000 Non-foil Sol Ring (Human)



The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth will be released this summer with Prerelease events taking place June 16th to 22nd.
So, who wants that ring? And can you resist its power if you find it?
