Dropping collectibles and additional nostalgic moments into a second print run of MTG’s most popular 2023 set was WotC through a holiday wave of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth (LTR) products that are slated to drop on Nov. 3. Multiple new variants are slated to drop through LTR Holiday products and Secret Lair drops. New cards are only found through Jumpstart boosters, while collector boosters are packed with new foiling and treatments.

In addition to the booster packs, players can grab one of four Scene boxes or head over to their local game store and participate in LTR Jumpstart events. None of the holiday Lord of the Rings products will contain serialized Sol Ring cards.

Lord of the Rings Jumpstart holiday booster packs

Returning to local game stores on Nov. 3 is LTR Jumpstart. The holiday or second volume of Jumpstart packs will contain five additional themes, along with the five original themes. Each pack will also contain two Rare cards and two foil lands in every booster pack. 

There are a total of 20 cards in an LTR Jumpstart booster pack which includes all the lands players need to crack two packs, shuffle, and play. The price of a Jumpstart box at time of writing on Oct. 27 is around $87.

Lord of the Rings Special Edition collector booster packs

Available on Nov. 3 are LTR Special Edition collector booster packs. Sadly, these packs will not include any serialized Sol Rings. But players can collect cards with new alternative art and treatment frames, along with other serialized cards. At least five to six of the cards in each booster pack will have a new type of foil treatment. Treatments players can expect to find are the new Silver foil, rainbow foil, and Surge foil. Players can also pull borderless art Hildebrandt cards and cards with a Scrolls of Middle-earth Showcase Scroll treatment.

Players can look forward to cracking up to 20 cards within LTR Holiday collector booster packs of art by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt. All Hildebrandt cards have borderless frames and are MTG reprints.

Special collector booster packs can also contain an extended-art Surge foil version of The One Ring. Guaranteed pulls from an LTR Holiday booster pack included an extended-art Surge foil card, a Surge foil map land, Showcase Scroll LTR Holiday cards, and a Surge foil double-faced token.

Top pulls from the collector booster packs are likely Hildebrandt cards, serialized borderless poster cards, serialized Realms and Relics, and extended art cards with the Surge foil treatment.

Lord of the Rings holiday Scene boxes

There are four LTR Scene boxes that will go on sale starting on Nov. 3: Flight of the Witch-King, Aragorn at Helm’s Deep, The Might of Galadriel, and Gandalf in the Plennor Fields.

Much like the other holiday products, there are no serialized Sol Ring cards within the Scene boxes. But the box does come with set booster packs in addition to the borderless cards

  • Six foil borderless scene cards
  • Six art cards (typically found in set booster packs)
  • Three LTR set booster packs
  • One paper display easel

Set booster packs in the LTR holiday Scene box will contain its normal list of cards which includes an art card and a slot for The List card. Preorder prices for the MTG Lord of the Rings holiday scene boxes are around $41.
