The third of the LotR precons is the UBR The Hosts of Mordor precon. It's an amass/Orc and Goblin tribal deck with reanimator and casting from graveyard subthemes. Joining Sauron, Lord of the Rings in his conquest is the ambitious Saruman. Decklist is here.
Seeing these decklists now, and I'm realizing that it would have been fun to see the Archenemy game reprinted with a LotR theme to it; Sauron in place of Bolas.
Would hope there's some amazing reprints tbf, the precons are like 30% more expensive than normal so can't really compare with previous offerings. Just goes to show how ludicrous it is that WotC says they don't consider the secondary market when designing these decks, they know exactly what to include to build hype for a particular price point. Will be pushed even more for Commander Masters I don't doubt!

It also shows how much more focus these UB precons are getting compared to normal precons. They're pushing the reprints, value, and power on purpose while leaving the others to just be okay nowadays.
