The second expansion of The Lord of the Rings TCG drawn from The
Two Towers™, Battle of Helm's Deep, will add depth and excitement
to both open and Tower block formats, with wargs, Uruk berserkers, Knights
of Gondor, Ent companions, and more. The new Gollum culture presents the
option of using Gollum/Sméagol as a minion, companion, or both in
the same deck.
Two different playable 60-card starter decks, featuring Éowyn and
Legolas, contain a mix of cards from Battle of Helm's Deep and The Two Towers,
including 3 fixed alternate-image rares found only in starter decks. The
11-card booster packs are all Battle of Helm's Deep, 1 rare plus a mixture
of 10 commons and uncommons. A foil from the complete parallel diffraction
foil set will replace a common card in approximately one in six booster
packs. MSRP for the starter decks is only $9.99 each; for booster packs,
$3.29 per pack.
