Decipher has announced that it will produce two new foil subsets for its Lord of the Rings TCG, to be included in the new Black Rider expansion that will be released on March 18th.  The two subsets will include different foil treatments of some of the best rare cards from the expansion.  The Legends foil subset will feature 18 cards reproduced in diffraction foil, at a ratio of one every nine booster packs.  The Legends Masterworks foil subset will feature nine of the cards from the Legends foil subset with alternate art templates similar to the card treatment that Decipher used for its 2003 Countdown to the King retail promotion, at a ratio of one every 35 booster packs. 

 

Decipher will implement a rotation schedule for the Lord of the Rings TCG one week after the release of Black Rider (see 'Decipher's 2005 LOTR TCG Schedule').
