“The One Ring in Tales of Middle-Earth reflects the ring’s unique role within The Lord of the Rings,” Wizards of the Coast said in a statement to Polygon. The promotion caused the price of Collector Booster Boxes to climb past $518 - nearly twice what similar products normally cost at launch. When Tales of Middle-earth launched at retail stores on June 23, The One Ring was said to be included inside Collector Boosters, high-end packs with 15 cards inside each one. But publisher Wizards of the Coast also created a singular copy, covered in gold foil and etched with the original Elvish Black Speech inscription.
The set includes many copies of The One Ring, including perforated versions meant to be torn apart at the table. Magic’s latest set of cards, titled The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, was created in coordination with Middle-earth Enterprises (MEE) to celebrate the original novels by J.R.R.
