What's your favorite scene from the Lord of the Rings books or movies? I love the encounter with the Balrog in the movie and the books. I’m not “a servant of the Secret Fire,” but I can help to give you a preview of the wonderful scene cards from the new Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set.

The scene cards are multiple individual borderless cards that can be put together in a specific order to make a bigger picture of one of the famous scenes from LotR, much like wallpaper. These are regular cards that also add a collection aspect for fans.

So let's take a look!

How Many Scene Cards Are There?

How Do You Get Scene Cards?

You can get scene cards in many different types of packs and boxes. Prerelease packs include one scene card from Bilbo’s Birthday party. The bundle and Bundle: Gift Edition include a scene card from Mount Doom. All the scene cards that aren’t a part of the scene boxes are found randomly in set, draft, and collector boosters. The scene boxes include all six scene cards of the specific scene advertised on the box.

Are Scene Cards Valuable?

It mostly depends on the rarity of the scene card. A lot of the commons and uncommons are going to be less than 1$, even with the borderless scene background. Some of the mythic scene cards like Gandalf the White will fetch around double the price of the non-scene version of the card.

With initial prices I’ve seen you can expect less than or around 1$ for commons and uncommons, somewhere between 5$ and 30$ for rares, and somewhere between 15$ and 40$ for mythics.

Can You Use Your Promo Scene Card at Prerelease?

The promo scene cards aren’t intended for use at prerelease. They’re for building excitement for the new set. They won’t be allowed in Sealed prerelease events.

Are Scene Cards on MTGA?

Yes, the scene cards will be on MTGA! It was mentioned in the MTG: Arena Discord is that the Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set will be released on MTGA in its entirety. If it’s printed on the cards, it’ll also be on MTGA.

What Are Scene Boxes?

Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth scene box bundle

Scene boxes are a special holiday collectible release coming in November. There are four different collectible boxes that each include a specific 2×3 card scene. These scenes and cards aren’t a part of the main set, so you need to buy the collectible scene boxes if you want more or even all the scenes.

Wrap Up

I think that bringing the iconic scenes of LotR was a smart move by WotC. It gives fans another adaptation of some of their favorite memories from the books or movies, and it adds even more to collect. Time will tell if these collectible scenes are worth the hype, but I can tell you that I’m excited to get the entire Bridge of Khazad-dûm scene in my collection.
