"Releasing on August 14, The Hobbit is the next Universes Beyond set in line after Marvel Super Heroes. After the success of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth, the first Universes Beyond set to be legal in the Modern format, the prequel book is getting its own Magic treatment. You can expect plenty of cards that are faithful to J.R.R. Tolkien's expansive world building, including multiple versions of iconic characters, locations, and story moments."
"Each card is carefully designed to both work mechanically in a game of Magic, but also to stay true to the original works. So far, it looks as through the entire product suite is available to preorder at both Amazon and Best Buy at the time or writing this guide. A notable omission compared to previous Magic expansions is a preconstructed Commander decks."
"Most sets come with at least one 100-card deck ready to play outside of the box, but it seems The Hobbit is bucking this trend. This is likely due to the amount of Legendary Creatures that are sure to be in packs, as Wizards of the Coast has confirmed some characters will be getting multiple different cards in the set."
"Below is a full list of sealed products you can get your hands on with The Hobbit. Some of them are sold out, but with the expansion dropping in August there's plenty of time to check back in for restocks."
The Hobbit is scheduled to release on August 14 as the next Universes Beyond product after Marvel Super Heroes. The set brings Magic gameplay to Tolkien’s Middle-earth, building on the success of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth as a Modern-legal Universes Beyond release. Cards are designed to match the source material while functioning mechanically in Magic, including multiple versions of iconic characters, locations, and story moments. Preorders are available through major retailers, but no preconstructed Commander decks are included, unlike many other expansions. The absence is likely tied to the number of Legendary Creatures and Wizards of the Coast confirmation that some characters will receive multiple different cards. Sealed product options are listed, with some currently sold out and restocks expected around the August release.
