The June 2023 release of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth comes with 10 Jumpstart Boosters, which are booster packs targeted at players that prefer to skip the deckbuilding phase of a game and prefer to play a quick round of Magic: The Gathering with randomized decks.[1] In addition, the set features a holiday release on November 3, 2023 with Jumpstart Volume 2.[2]
Description[]
Jumpstart packs let players new and returning alike mix, match, and enjoy the mayhem of unique themes with each latest release. Jumpstart packs in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth continue the set Jumpstart trend where each pack is a hidden theme to discover when you open, and shuffling any two packs together is all you need to be ready to play.
Each Jumpstart booster includes a half deck (20 cards). All 20 cards fit one of five themes, and all themes have two variations. The packs feature cards from the main set, including a random rare or mythic rare, two foil basic lands, and a mechanically unique rare especially designed for the Jumpstart pack.[2]
