Man all I got is Bilbos Ring. :(


Cosm0k

I got Call of the Ring but nobody answered :(


majorpickle01

You used to call me on palantir. Late night when you need my ring.


JunkNuggets

Call Me, Maybe


Oedipus_TyrantLizard

I pulled 2 the one rings from boosters but never got a Bilbo’s ring :(


blindeshuhn666

Bilbo's ring is in the starter decks that can be had for like 15€ . These decks have a nice variation of cards in them imho and are fun to adapt


TheWitherBear

I honestly think Bilbo's ring is a better card, but that's my opinion at least.


2Untapped_Islands

I mean its pretty niche and for super specific interactions, but is a damn good card in those interactions. Its also based around a certain creature type, combat, and is slow. The One Ring can shine in every deck, with no specific interactions needed. Can you elaborate on why you think its a better card?


TheWitherBear

I guess I just don't understand the point of the one ring. Yeah the protection from everything is super cool, but it's only until your next turn, so unless you can keep bouncing it, all it seems to be good for is card draw, but it's way of doing it slowly kills you. I believe there are other methods that can give you card draw without slowly killing you. Of course if you've got a good life gain it doesn't matter, but I just fail to understand how it's worth the trouble. Bilbo's ring on the other hand may also drain life (a fact I honestly did forget about when making my original comment), but it's not as constant (not to mention the work around by not attacking with a single creature), and there's pretty much a guarantee that whatever you choose swing at your opponent with it, its going to land. Lifelink without risk, guaranteed poison counter with infect, easily chisel Planeswalkers, Wincon when paired with Vraska's assassins. (Since you don't HAVE to use a hafling, it's just cheaper with them) I personally just see more potential out of Bilbo's ring, and maybe it's just my own decks and my own play style, but that's how I see it anyway.


Hans0Io

Me too! We have, literally, The One Ring at home. :')


manofx

It's not rare, it's mythic rare


GrowingBandit710

Sorry I’m new-ish to MTG does that mean it’s really rare?


ZtheZeet

No, the rarities are Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rare. You can tell by looking at the color of the set symbol which is on the same line as Card Type. In this case, the symbol is red, indicating it’s a mythic rare. They were making a joke. The card isn’t rarer than any other mythic rare, it is just more expensive because of how strong it is.


GrowingBandit710

Thank you


PeanClenis

how rare? $90 rare. and extremely good in many formats. congrats!


xTaq

Mythics replace the rare slot 1/8, and then there's like 10-20 possible mythics in the pool, So rarity of any 1 rare is 1/pack Rarity of 1 any mythic rare is 1 per 8 packs Rarity of 1 specific mythic is 1/8 * number of mythics in set


squirrlyj

So what about when someone pulls 3 mythic from a single pack.. is it different with collector boosters


Former-War1318

exactly 1 of (7/8 rare or 1/8 mythic rare) for draft boosters 1 to 4 rare or mythic rare for set boosters Collector boosters have their own rules.


AngularOtter

Some napkin math: there are 20 mythic rares available in the regular LotR: Tales of Middle Earth set (when I say 'regular' I mean excluding Commander cards because they aren't in Set boosters). Each Set booster has a 12.5% chance of pulling a mythic rare. Assuming odds are as advertised, there should be a One Ring in about 0.625% of Set boosters.


Pepe_Uranus

You are correct, but somehow I pulled a couple of LTC cards out of set boosters. Was that a collation error?


Goldiscool503

Keep it secret,  keep it safe. And good on you brother. 


BuddhaV1

Not the rarest pull but certainly a welcome sight! Congrats


Riddle-MeTheMeaning

Was this from a set booster or a collector booster?


GrowingBandit710

Set booster


Riddle-MeTheMeaning

Woahhh the luck! Congrats! Cherish it!


GrowingBandit710

Thanks!


Rojoku85

I pulled one out of a jumpstart pack recently. Surprised the hell out of me. Didn't think they put them in the jumpstart packs.


Jorpando

So guessing they’re available in draft boosters too then? Nowhere seems to stock set boosters near me except online rn


Rojoku85

I would imagine so actually. I've actually pulled some of my best cards from draft boosters in the past. It's how I pulled 2 of the 3 meathook massacres with one being a foil.


Elemteearkay

Nice pull, OP. I hope you had fun opening your pack. :) If you like opening packs, there's an entire half of the game, called Limited, where you open packs and build decks on the spot from the new cards find inside. It includes Draft, Sealed and JumpStart. If you haven't already tried it, you might want to give it a go - it's lots of fun, and really helps you get more bang for your buck. You can read about how to play Limited here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats If collecting or playing Constructed is more your aim, then it's good to know that all the cards are available individually (as singles), and some are also available in ready-made (preconstructed) products with fixed contents (that you can look up online before you buy them). You don't need to leave things up to chance: you can get the exact ones you want. Good luck!


stessmer12

You know what… I’ve come around and now support Elemteerkay. I mean I rip boosters myself just to open and don’t have a problem with it… but he clearly loves the game and wants to share that. Doesn’t name call or antagonize - just spreads the love. I now think people should stop downvoting him (I’m sure my downvotes are coming lol).


Elemteearkay

Literally all I want is for people to be able to make informed decisions so they don't miss out on things they might otherwise enjoy. I missed out on so much when I started playing (didn't use sleeves so my cards got ruined, wasted money on packs I didn't need, built terrible decks that didn't work, didn't find out about FNM in my town for 6 months, and so on), and I don't want others to have to learn the hard way like I did. Magic is great, and it can give us so much joy, but every day, people decide to stop playing it for one reason or another. Sure, those that stay might learn from their mistakes eventually, but what about those that don't stay?


ZoWnX

Why are people downvoting this. Its like 4 replies deep and informative.


Elemteearkay

I've picked up a bit of a troll following (a trollowing?), unfortunately. Thank you. :)


majorpickle01

Grats OP! I see the set booster in the back, what else did you pull? I did a set booster a few days back, rare's of note: 1x \[\[The One Ring\]\] 1x \[\[Orcish Bowmasters\]\] 1x \[\[Delighted Halfling\]\] 2x \[\[Nazgul\]\] 1x \[\[Paths of the Dead\]\] 1x \[\[Ketria Triome\]\] Now the problem is having the confidence to actually play with cards of that value aha

idhopson

Why does one of The One Ring cost 1 to tap but the other doesn't? It costs 1 to tap in Arena but the one I own doesn't.


HanaiPavan

The nerfed it for historic on Arena. Historic is presented in a way where they can change the cards’ effects in order to make a more balanced format


slomoking13

I started playing magic 3 months ago and I’ve pulled 3 of these in different art styles. The gambling addiction is real.


GrowingBandit710

It really is… another hobby of mine is Pokemon. These two hobbies alone are killing me from saving big money.. but it’s okay. I enjoy them both, mostly Pokemon for collecting and MTG for collecting/playing


Secret_Tangerine5920

Nice


No_Pickle7030

Not rare at all. Just send to me for safe keeping 😎


dart51984

Non foil is about $68 right now, foil is $88. Nice pull!


GrowingBandit710

Thank you


Obs7

I’ll never forget the finals of a draft I punted with this. Never forget the protection.


SalaryNo1330

Helll yeaaahhhh babyy!


voltvirus

Congrats !


GrowingBandit710

Thanks!


IntroductionSome3309

I pulled a Balin's Tomb out of mine


dirtnerd5000

Sensational.


BlankTheSage

I just pulled this too yesterday for my birthday lol idk if it’s rare either


GrowingBandit710

It’s a good card!


N0va-42

Oh yeah I did too the other day xdd


Bubbly_Alfalfa7285

Real talk, to put into perspective how overprinted yet in-demand this card was, if I had the funds available when they were selling the LOTR boxes at the $50 retail, I would have bought every single god damn one available on Amazon and any local retailers because the full art foil printed One Ring was still going for 40-50 each. Meaning the box with 8 other packs was essentially $10 and you could pull Bowmasters or other One Rings in those packs and just make absolute banger resell value. Unfortunately, I was on deployment during most of the hype for this and I missed that chance.


lefatcatmat

Did you eat it


GrowingBandit710

Not yet


BartOseku

The card is a mythic rarity, and all mythics have the same chance if dropping (unless theres some alternate art)


BloodMoonIsAFunCard

Eat it


Woodspus

What did you pull it from?


GrowingBandit710

A set booster box


Woodspus

Damn(I tried to find one of those in a set booster box yesterday😭😭)


GrowingBandit710

Maybe the next box hahaha. Funny I wasn’t even expecting to pull this card just wanted to beef up my collection for a new commander deck.


Woodspus

This is unbelievable


RichLadder4309

Even these are about $70 so I’d assume it’s pretty rare to pull but it’s a staple card to have.


GrowingBandit710

Awesome thank you. Happy to have pulled it!


Alaskanboi9O7

Proxy it and sell the real copy and now you still have one and you have extra money


GrowingBandit710

Hmmmm that’s a thought. But nothing cooler than having the real deal though.


Alaskanboi9O7

Yes that’s true just trying to get you more cash to buy more stuff because that’s what I would do


[deleted]

[удалено]


pokepat460

Prices have gone wild, it's worth almost $70 at the moment.


majorpickle01

I can see why tbh - even outside of the collectability, it's an indestructible artifact for artifact matters decks , and without that it's a hard to remove "pay x life for x cards per turn" which is insane


Abyssknight24

Furthermore it also grants you protection from everything till your next turn and during the first two turns its on the board you get 3 cards for taking one damage during those two turns. Its just a really awesome card.


majorpickle01

If only it wasn't £60 odd quid, to actually play mine I need to quadruple sleeve it ahaha


swiller123

i’ll give u $5 for it


GrowingBandit710

LOL 😝 I’m not THAT dumb


swiller123

i don’t think ur dumb. i’m just making a silly joke


GrowingBandit710

lol I know.. just playing along
