MTG's Lord Of The Rings Secret Lair Bonus Is A Misprint Of An 8¢ Uncommon Card

Magic: The Gathering just had one of its most popular crossover sets yet, as The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth brought with it a whole bunch of new fans as the well as the game's most expensive card to date in The One Ring. Clearly expecting a success, Wizards of the Coast decided to double dip with Lord of the Rings by releasing the More Adventures in Middle Earth Secret Lair, a set of cards based on the 1978 animated film.
Unfortunately for Wizards, the reception to this Secret Lair hasn't gone down as well as they probably hoped, as MTG fans have been calling it the worst Secret Lair in the game's history. With fans incredibly unimpressed with the set itself, Wizards had an opportunity to salvage the set at least a little bit with the bonus card. Instead, it somehow managed to make the situation even worse by making the bonus card a misprinted uncommon Grima Wormtongue worth a grand total of 8¢.

You can see the card for yourself embedded down below, first shared by VeggieWagonYee on Twitter. Not only is this card's art kind of strange, with the character its based on not even being the most prominent figure in frame, but it's power and toughness are also incorrect. Compare it to the Tales of Middle-Earth Grima Wormtongue, and you'll see that the card should be 1/4 instead of 2/4.
Combine all of this with the fact that this misprint probably makes the card unplayable in tournaments, and Wizards has somehow managed to take one of the least popular Secret Lairs in a good long while and still find a way to disappoint fans even more. You'll even find them in the replies of VeggieWagonYee's tweet completely flabbergasted as to why Wizards made the Secret Lairs's bonus card an uncommon, and how it managed to misprint it.
Thankfully, we can just sweep this whole debacle under the rug and pretend it never happened, as MTG's Secret Lair Fall Superdrop is right around the corner, which will reprint some of the game's older cards and give them spiffy new designs. There's a pretty wild amount of variety too, as you'll find themes based on heavy metal album covers, baseball card collections, and even VHS tapes. If you want to grab some sets, you have until October before the Superdrop ends, with the majority of the sets launching on September 15.
