Thanks for the response! Actually, we've got a rather large amount of
disgruntled MtG players out there looking very forward to the
Middle-earth: The Lidless Eye (MELE) release. Something about MtG players
liking to play the bad guys or something, I guess. ;)

Remember, you don't have to have bought any cards previous to MELE to be
able to play MELE. It is a STAND ALONE expansion. Of course, if you do
have previous card sets, it couldn't hurt! All of the cards for MECCG are
interchangeable (with a few exceptions noted in the rules).

The next expansion, due out in August is called Middle-earth: Against The
Shadow (MEAS). This expansion set is boosters only and is specifically
designed to further integrate Middle-earth: The Wizards (METW) with MELE.

The real fun starts with the expansion after MEAS. Called, Middle-earth:
The White Hand (MEWH), this set allows a player to play a corrupted
Wizard. You're not playing for the Free People, you're not playing for
Sauron, you're out for yourself and everything you can conquer. I think
this set will be my personal favorite!

Keep me posted on what you think about ICE products. We love to hear from
our customers!
