This is the set where the war stops being distant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Return of the King is Set 7 of the LOTR TCG, the third and last of the base sets, released on 5 November 2003 — a month ahead of the film. It runs to 365 cards, split evenly at 121 commons, 121 uncommons and 121 rares, with two premium cards that appeared only in starter decks. Every card in the set has a diffraction foil counterpart, and seven of the rares were also printed in Tengwar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was the first base set that added no new culture. Instead it went deeper into the ones already in play, and brought in two mechanics that reshaped how decks were built: Threats and Initiative. Longtime players tend to rate it among the strongest designs Decipher produced for the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery box holds 36 booster packs of 11 cards each: 1 rare, 3 uncommon and 7 common.\u003c\/strong\u003e Roughly one pack in six carries a diffraction foil in place of a common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSealed Return of the King boxes have grown genuinely scarce. The set sat in the middle of the game's run — old enough that most of the print was opened long ago, popular enough that what survived rarely stays on a shelf. Dealers pay real money to get these back into stock, which tells you more about the supply than any listing can. This one has never been opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are hunting a foil Aragorn, drafting the King block as it was meant to be played, or keeping an unopened piece of the trilogy era intact, this is the set at the centre of the story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decipher, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52822261858586,"sku":"LOTR-ROTK-BOX","price":1699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/3134\/9786\/files\/LordoftheRingsTCGTheReturnoftheKing1.jpg?v=1788832039","url":"https:\/\/notjustcollectibles.com\/products\/the-lord-of-the-rings-tcg-the-return-of-the-king-booster-box-36-packs-factory-sealed","provider":"Not Just Collectibles, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
