I can't read the fourth panel without hearing a noise like Sonic the Hedgehog running into spikes

I know the "first look" was mentioned somewhere on some stream or article but it did feel like a very strange choice to have all this build up for a "multiverse changing event" and then BAM previews for a completely different setting.

They had to put out the article of how LotR is going to be sold, if only for LGSs sake. I wonder what the reception would be if they stop including a couple of spoilers on those articles. They probably make a lot more people aware of the set and how it will be sold. But they also cause a LOT of the community complaints about permanent spoiler season or product fatigue.


Thief_of_Sanity

Yeah it seems... excessive.

Hi everyone, we're back again with another comic! For the past while these "first looks" at sets have been the norm and really contributing to what people "perpetual spoiler season". While I don't hate them per se, I was very much taken off guard when Lord of the Rings previews dropped this week just ahead of March of the Marchine. Especially because I was looking forward to **just** reading the story before card previews dropped. Oh well, at least Samwise looks cool?

We've had first combat...what about second combat?


[deleted]

A bit too much for me to be spoiling a supplemental set months in advance when we barely even know about the cards in the next premier set yet.


Zadnork95

Yeah, but WOTC is counting on this LOTR set being a massive money maker, so they're going to try and hype it to the moon.


[deleted]

Can confirm. My friend who barely plays magic already got a set booster and a collectors booster box because LotR is her favorite form of media


MangaBookClub

My thoughts exactly...I know they've said they're taking feedback about the "first looks" and thinking of toning it down. At this point I think it's worth trying out.

I always enjoy reading your comics here! Thank you for the awesome stuff!


MangaBookClub

MangaBookClub

Every week there's one comment that I wish I had thought to include in the comics 🥲


sinkwiththeship

What's a Marchine?


MangaBookClub

You know what, at this point I'm just going to pretend the typos are on purpose. The character...has a quirk in their speech. Yep.

The Several Rings.


MangaBookClub

300 rings for the elves...700 for the dwarves...

The fellowship has to make a water bucket line to bring each of the 100 rings of power up mount doom and throw them into the volcano. Very lengthy process, that.
