The short version
- Anticipation for the set was already staggering, but the mix of legendary characters, iconic locations, and premium treatments inspired by J.R.R.
- Tolkien's beloved novel has fans frothing for more.
- The showcase featured legendary creatures like Thorin Oakenshield; Bard the Bowman; Thranduil, the Elvenking; and Gollum, Riddle Master, alongside spells recreating some of the book's most memorable moments.
What happened
Wizards also unveiled several collectible treatments, including borderless Dwarvish-language cards, alternate "Book Cover" frames (my personal favorite), and new Scene Boxes centered around Smaug and the Lonely Mountain. Wizards also gave another member of Thorin's Company the legendary treatment with Bifur, Melodic Rider.
Why it matters
He carries the same Storied ability, but Bifur’s version doubles triggered abilities from Dwarves while steadily growing your board with +1/+1 counters.
