If you're curious about what people are actually buying, Card Kingdom has rounded up Our Top 10 Best Selling Cards from The Hobbit So Far, highlighting hot reprints and gorgeous treatments like Smaug the Magnificent and The One Ring. Plus, Star City Games has put together a handy look at Each Drop Revealed (So Far) From Magic’s A Marvelous Mathoms™ Secret Lair Superdrop if you want to see all those upcoming Hobbit drops in one place.
If you like bending the rules in Commander, EDHREC has a fun Tolabow, Loch Rascal Deck Tech showing how you can sneak nonblue cards into a blue deck.
