![]() This keeps him from being a blink target, but reanimating or bouncing him to your hand shouldn’t be an issue. Not only that, it gets you something back from your graveyard AFTER you mill five cards. Combined with his own stats, the 8 mana you use to cast Sauron gets you a 9/9 and a 5/5. His mana cost is quite high, but he does a lot of work.Īmass makes a return in this set as well, and he creates a 5/5 Orc token on cast. Last but not least of the face commanders we have Sauron himself. Again though I have to stress we don’t have the contents of the deck at time of writing, and it may go a complete other direction. Anything to do with one creature type like Heralds Horn is also an include. Some cards that seem great in here are Edric Spymaster of Trest and possibly both Ezuri, Claw of Progress and Ezuri Stalker of Spheres. Notably, she doesn’t care if they are tokens or not, lending some flexibility. Not only that, this card cares about Elves coming into play which shouldn’t be a problem with either blink effects or the sheer numbers an elf deck can usually put onto the table. While we don’t yet know the contents of the deck, we can assume political things are afoot. This Simic legend brings with it the Will of the Council. The mechanic really did need a third color, and Gyome Master Chief will be pleased with possible new tech. I am also glad to see food token expanded into White more readily. He also does it before Frodo attacks and as a master chief serves food up at a discount.Ībzan decks can be very resilient, so I wouldn’t be worried about them surviving in combat. He makes the food tokens, and therefore the lifegain, Frodo cares about. Sam has his roll nailed down here and I feel it’s a flavorful fit. Luckily for Frodo, he has vigilance so blocking the next turn isn’t out of the question. Depending on how many times you’ve been tempted, you then get to draw a card. The ability continues with “the Ring tempts you” a new mechanic for this set. The commander deck Food and Fellowship brings us a “Partners With” pairing of Frodo and Sam, and an Abzan life gain and food deck.įrodo himself has to attack to gain his trigger which depends on if you gained 3 or more life this turn. Sprinkle in more humans and combat survival like Boros Charm or Open Into Wonder, and you have some prime beatdowns for your opponents.įrodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant There isn’t much to say about this commander otherwise. I imagine this commander will be brutal if left alone for even a few turns. ![]() ![]() Importantly, these tokens are also human, helping you to trigger that last ability. The card is almost completely combat oriented, triggering at the beginning of combat and giving you TWO tokens with haste and trample to help put pressure on the board. This Jeskai legend shifts the Human centric color type away from GW and into URW for the deck she leads. Our first meeting in Middle-Earth comes from Eowyn, Shieldmaiden from the Commander deck Riders of Rohan. Each instance is triggered by various things and might get individual bonuses, but the outcomes are always the same for emblem when the Ring tempts you. The Ring itself doesn’t lose any of these abilities, even if the Ring-bearer leaves or you choose a new one.Ī number of cards in the set reference this mechanic, so keep it in mind as we go forward. Of course, you can also only have one Ring-bearer. The abilities of the Ring remain for the rest of the game, and while you may choose a new creature every time you’re tempted, you MUST choose at least one if able. The Ring is an emblem, and can trigger even if you have no creature to bear it. ![]() Only the Ring Bearer is affected by the Ring’s temptations Whenever you are tempted by the Ring, you get to move to the next mode down the list, and you may select a new Ring-bearer. You may also want to skip ahead to your favorite legend or legends.Ī new mechanic for this set is “the Ring tempts you” which gives you bonuses similar to going through a dungeon. But, before we set off on our journey we have to talk about something secret. Pack a lot of lembas bread, this will be a long one. As we get closer to release, I’ll expand to nonlegendary cards in the set. Among them of course had to be the four face Commanders for the deck we’re getting with Tales of Middle-Earth, and in today’s article I want to focus on the absolute deluge of legendary creatures spoiled at the time of writing. The spoilers for Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle-Earth started in earnest on Tuesday with a rather large batch of cards being previewed with excellent art, interesting designs, and some good reprints in the box toppers.
