Bringing epic battles to life, like the battle of the Pelennor Fields at Minas Tirith, the design team has divided a full-scale image into 18 borderless seem cards. The treatment is new to MTG and is getting used for several iconic LOTR trilogy battles and moments within the Universes Beyond set. New images were also released of Frodo and of Gandalf battling the Balrog Durin’s Bane.
