Episode 679 - The Lords of the...Cards?

The dorks dive into the first full Universes Beyond set, Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth. As usual we'll go over the mechanics before diving into the card image gallery to poke around and see what we can see. We'll be focusing on the flavor as it relates to the books, because we know them well and LOVE what the designers have done with some of these cards! How do you think they did?

 

There is a tangent where we have to talk about the backlash to Black Aragorn. Oh yeah, we're going full woke. If Aragorn being black on cards bothers you, just ask yourself why. And be honest.
