conform to the original setting.

In mid-March, Magic officially announced that it would launch a series of new cards themed on the Lord of the Rings in conjunction with the famous IP"Lord of the Rings." According to what has been revealed, the card content covers the main characters in the original book such as Gandalf, Gollum, Frodo and classic scenes.

Gandalf: You shall not pass! "It has also been made into a card. Of course, as an important item that runs through the whole novel-the Lord Ring, this time it has also been naturally made into a card. It has the powerful effect of obtaining" anti-all protection ability "after casting (in layman's terms, it is almost immune to all damage and negative effects), which is very consistent with the original setting.

Perhaps in order to add more gimmicks to the linkage, the official announced that a unique collector's edition card would be released in addition to the release of regular, illustrated and wide-drawn versions of the "Supreme Ring" with different rarities.

This card not only changed the illustration, but also replaced the description of the card with the evil language created by Soran in the original book-Black Language. In addition, there was a special number "001/001" in the middle of the card.

Yes, the previous description of "unique" is not exaggerated at all. According to the official introduction, this different style of "supreme ring" will only appear one in the world, and the only way to get it is to buy the English version of Juzhen supplement package.

In the card market, where things are rare and expensive, it can be assumed that this "one-only" ultra-rare card is bound to become the object of competition among collectors. Since the announcement, a collector named Dan Bock has offered $100,000 for the card, provided the seller does not reveal that he owns the card until the transaction is completed.

But now Dan has come up with a more "original" approach to the card-dropping the unique "Supreme Ring" into the volcano, just like in the book.

The idea came from a fan who asked Magic mastermind Mark Rosewater on Tumblr how he would react if someone threw the card into a real volcano, and the mastermind quipped,"This must be great Short Video. "

Dan noticed the joke, and he adjusted the terms of the offer-he would now pay the seller $50,000, but the seller would be able to throw the card into a volcano with him.

The plan seemed like a lose-lose situation. After all, the seller made $50,000 less, and Dan couldn't keep the card. But in today's card trading market, which gradually relies on speculation to raise prices, no one can be sure whether the act of "destroying unique cards" will be more valuable than the cards themselves.

There's just one detail that might not fit. In the original book, the Ring had to be destroyed at Mount Doom, where it had been forged; but the card with the words "The Ring" written on it was not made from a printing press at the foot of a volcano.
