Magic: The Gathering — The Hobbit

There and Back Again — In Every Pack.

Magic: The Gathering returns to Middle-earth with The Hobbit, a Universes Beyond expansion that traces Bilbo Baggins' unexpected journey from the comforts of the Shire to the depths of the Lonely Mountain. This is the second Tolkien-universe set for Magic following Tales of Middle-earth, and the first to be legal in Standard — making it as relevant at the tournament table as it is on the collector's shelf. Adventure returns as the primary mechanic, with each Adventure card capturing a multi-part moment straight from the pages of the novel. Every pack is a step further along the road: Trolls, riddles in the dark, spiders, barrels, and the glittering hoard of Smaug waiting at the end. Boreal Gaming has the full Hobbit product lineup available for Magic players, Tolkien fans, and collectors across the Niagara region and Canada.

Our MTG The Hobbit collection covers the complete sealed product range for this release. Play Booster boxes contain 30 packs plus a foil box topper and are the go-to for draft nights and set collection alike. Collector Boosters deliver the premium treatments — extended art, foils, and the chase Gleaming Gold Smaug the Magnificent headliner card. In place of traditional Commander preconstructed decks, The Hobbit introduces two Scene Boxes — Crack the Plates and Treasures of Smaug — each containing three Play Boosters and six borderless eternal-legal cards that join together into a displayable panorama. Prerelease kits give you early access to the set starting August 7, and a Gift Bundle arrives September 4 with a Collector Booster, seasonal Hobbit lands, and a foil storage box. Seasonal basic lands featuring the Shire across all four seasons round out one of the most collectible MTG product suites in recent memory.

Beyond sealed, The Hobbit singles will be available for players building around the set's Standard-legal staples, Commander additions, and collector chase cards. Protect your Middle-earth pulls with quality card sleeves and a dedicated deck box, or display your favourites in a binder or portfolio.
