Small things from UltraPro Product Descriptions
* There will be a "Lisa Frank" themed secret lair in the February superdrop called Secret Lair: 90’s Binder Experience.
Relive the colorful school supplies of your youth with the Secret Lair: 90’s Binder Experience! These Magic: The Gathering playmats are inspired by the rainbow animal characters you remember so well from childhood, and pair perfectly with exclusive matching Secret Lair cards! The cute and colorful aesthetics bring your nineties nostalgia to a whole new level, with that same great soft fabric top and rubber backing you’ve come to expect from your favorite playmats. Gamers of every generation could always use a few more kittens and rainbows, so pick your favorite or collect them all!
* Lord of the Rings' Commanders are likely to be Frodo, Eowyn, Galadriel, and Sauron. They have A, B, C, and D slots in the deckbox product descriptions, and there should be four commander decks based on the 2021 announcement. The other deckboxes are Aragorn, Gandalf, and Sauron (again). This was noticed a while ago, but that thread might have been buried. - https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/y22vez/lord_of_the_rings_commanderprecon_decks_will/
* The playmats for LotR cover the trilogy but not *The Hobbit*. The list is the four likely commanders (A, B, C, and D) and additional standard-sized playmats after that-- Aragorn, Gandalf, Sauron, Mount Doom, The Balrog, Treebeard, Arwen, Shelob, Smeagol, Tom Bombadil, holofoil Frodo, and a "Borderless Scene" (possibly the Battle of Pelennor Fields art).
* Nothing too unexpected for ONE or MOM. If you are interested in playmats, it seems like ONE will have Phyrexia-themed playmats in the color wheel (they're given color descriptions instead of the letter/number indicating card art). And a double-sided AR one, possibly of Elesh Norn. MOM will have a ton of playmats (A-E, 1-5, and V-Z). Possibly due to overlap with Aftermath.
Spent a lot of time in Rivendell which would be RG and a lot of moving around the plains W of Middle Earth as well.
But whatever makes sense will probably not be the case.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Smaug, is that the dragon at the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring that torches Frodo's house and sends him on the journey with the One Ring, or is he the one that grabs Gandalf by the ankle while they're trying to escape the mountains of Moradin? Now it makes sense why Gandalf said "Fly you fool!" He was trying to tell the dragon to fly!
I guess you missed the part where it wasn't going to focus on The Hobbit but instead the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
How is Rivendel, the Last Homely House where most of the ancient lore and artifacts of Middle Earth are kept Red in any way? Elrond is one of the most Blue characters in LOTR, he's a master of lore retreated in his private secluded refuge where characters both in the Hobbit and LOTR go to decipher ancient maps and learn stuff.
I think I've learned to treat Magic cards like baseball cards: keep 'em in a binder in numerical order, don't play with 'em, try to finish the set and just keep my head down.

RG Rivendell? Can you explain that one? Rivendell is 100% Bant, with more of a blue focus. It is quite truly the least red place that existed in Middle-Earth at the time.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Rivendell is slammed right up to the Misty Mountains and concealed within a valley of the Misty Mountains. It is not on the coast, it is not an island. Review your Middle Earth geography. End of thread.

Also, Red for Aragorn is hard to sell. He never was particularly angry or impulsive, and I don't remember his emotions getting the best of him nor defining him. He always kept his cool and was well versed in lore and smart at tracking from being a ranger. Totally Bant in my book, which makes sense as he was raised in Rivendell.

Color identity can also be linked to physical location folks (As it should be). Remember Swamp doesn't always equal evil and plains doesn't always equal good. Aragorn was raised in and around the Misty Mountains (and forests) and will regain his throne in Minas Tirith which is literally built on the White Mountains in Middle Earth. Physical location indicates Naya, personal attributes may indicate something else.

Yavimaya is a mountainous region, Argoth was an island. Being near a certain feature does not always define a region. Similarly, Ajani Vengeant did not gain red due to proximity to a mountain, but because he was at that time ruled by his emotions.

He's a ranger bound by destiny and raised by elves, green seems most appropriate.

This whole product is smog and mirrors as far as I'm concerned
I used to be a demigod, but now I'm an omnimage
You could just have said that
Aragorn is totally Naya
