The One Ring is dominating Magic: The Gathering’s<\/em> newest Modern-legal Universes Beyond <\/em>set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth<\/em>, as the community wrestles with the potential of one-of-one serialized cards being added to future sets.\u00a0<\/p>
Since the early launch of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth<\/em> (LTR<\/em>) set on June 16, collector booster boxes have soared in price, cresting $500 and more through some sellers<\/a> as of June 27. The flavor of a one-of-one The One Ring is spot-on and has surely boosted sales to unprecedented levels. For many, the chase is fun and exciting to watch. The MTG<\/em> community, however, appears divided when it comes to a future one-of-one serialized card.\u00a0<\/p>
A question was asked through game designer Mark Rosewaters Tumblr<\/a> on June 26, asking if Wizards of the Coast was considering running another one-of-one serialized Magic <\/em>card through a future set based on the success of The One Ring so far. Rosewater responded to the question with another question. “Is it something you all want to see?” And a majority of the responses were either an adamant yes or no.\u00a0<\/p>
