For the 2023 holiday season, Wizards of the Coast decided to release Magic: The Gathering Special Edition Collector Boosters for The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. Special Edition Collectors Boosters offer the chance to pull LOTR cards that are serialized, Surge Foil Realms and Relics, or with a treatment variant. Although most packs will not contain a high-value or serialized card, players can find budget-friendly Scroll Showcase versions of playable cards. 

My latest article, The 7 Best Budget Buys from LOTR: Holiday Release, I review seven cards players may want to add to their collection. Each highlighted card has a reprint version found in Special Edition Collectors Boosters for a considerable discount. Now may be an excellent time to grab one or more of these cards while prices are depressed with new copies entering the secondary market.

Black is one of Magic: The Gathering's main colors that is often associated with destruction, card search, and sacrificing creatures. In Commander, black is found in many different strategies and offers staple cards like Demonic Tutor, Phyrexian Arena, and Necropotence. Although not all black cards found in sets can rise to staple status, plenty of playable black cards are available for the 99 of Commander decks.

When paired with certain strategies, these cards can excel and help you achieve victory.

Commander is ​Magic: The Gathering's most popular format among players. Participating in a multiplayer game with friends and fellow players is an enjoyable experience full of fun and surprises. Ultimately, one player emerges victorious in a game of Commander by defeating their opponents. Utilizing format staples and potent, yet sometimes expensive, cards can help a player achieve victory.

In my latest article, 5 Budget Two-Card Combos for MTG Commander, I share five combos players can use to defeat opponents that won't break the bank. Game-winning decks do not always have to contain pricy cards. If building Commander decks on a budget resonates with you, this article is worth a read.
