I only recently got kinda back into magic after a few years off (I played some Arena, though), and I haven't really looked at spoilers for this set. I am considering going to a prerelease, but I'm not a huge fan of bringing in other universes into magic, so it's not really my first choice for acquiring new cards. I suppose it also goes against my tentative interest in leaving Modern as a competetive format and trying out Pioneer. We'll see.
Right now I'm thinking more of casual stuff like EDH and Wizard's Tower that I can play with my girlfriend and other people who have a more casual appreciation for the game or who don't have their own decks. I guess I could do a LOTR Wizard's Tower, now that I think of it. Is it a good set for that?
I can't speak to Wizard's Tower but I plan on making 4-5 low powered themed decks for people like my wife or brother-in-law that somewhat know how to play but just use my cards on occasion. They are both LotR fans so I think it will be fun to break out in kind of a game night box or whatever you want to call it.
I think LOTR is the perfect set for playing Wizard's Tower, haha. I think one of the in universe wizard's towers is called Orthanc.
