Not the One Ring but we'll take these gorgeous Lord of the Rings-inspired MtG land cards.

I shouldn't have bought a single Magic: The Gathering booster pack for over £30 but I did it anyways because I'm a sucker for anything related to Lord of the Rings.Basking in the glory of the One Ring card I pulled.

I could make an actual mountain out of all the Mountain land cards I have. And while some land cards are nicer than others, I've become quite numb to the whole lot. For that reason, I've laid off buying MtG boosters for a while now, preferring instead a quiet life in the Shire away from it all.

Yet in my infinite wisdom I found the allure of MtG's new The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth too great for my puny human mind, and in the foolish hopes I might stumble acrossThat's a single pack of 15 cards, not the £400 booster box that my partner thought I had ordered. Though they received that news rather well, which does open the door a little to a future purchase if I say so myself.One Ring , I did find my very own precious: these absolutely gorgeous land cards.

My first pull from the pack was a Mountain card I didn't mind having around. It's a shiny Mountain depicting The Misty Mountains in all their estranged, loosely-mapped out beauty. It's a card so lovely, and importantly shiny, that it genuinely makes me reconsider ignoring red cards my entire MtG playing career.
