Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth - All Jumpstart Themes

The LOTR MTG crossover set, "Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth," is nearly here. And what a wild, adventurous ride it's been so far. I've covered the Most Valuable Cards, The Box-Toppers, the Two-Million-Dollar One Ring, and All Available Products for the set. One product I want to break down further as we get closer to release is Jumpstart packs—specifically, the LOTR Jumpstart themes.

Jumpstart packs allow you to play MTG without the deck-building step. Each Jumpstart booster contains 20 cards that share a theme, and when two are shuffled together, you have a playable 40-card deck to battle against another player. There are five mono-color themes, with two versions for each. Here are the Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth Jumpstart themes:

• White: Courageous - Creatures with power two or less, Haflings
• Blue: Tricksy - Scrying, Ring Tempting
• Black: Mordor - Ring Tempting
• Red: Marauders - Amass Orcs, Goblins, Burn
• Green: Journey - Food Tokens, Tree-folk, Ramp

Let's break down each theme and look at the cards included.

Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth Jumpstart Card Lists

Each Jumpstart Booster contains one rare that's printed the Jumpstart Boosters explicitly; most haven't been revealed yet. So, if you notice that some (or all) of the lists below are a card or two short of 20 cards, that's why.

Furthermore, the site automatically pulls each card's most recently added printing from our database, sometimes including printings not in this product. I just wanted readers to be aware that if the list shows a full-art or borderless card, that version isn't necessarily the one that will be in the packs.
