Set Mechanics

The One Ring, forged by the Dark Lord Sauron, is both powerful and dangerous. The mechanic the Ring tempts you allows you to designate a creature as your Ring-bearer. Each time the Ring tempts you, it will gain a new ability that makes your Ring-bearer more powerful while attacking.

Amass is back, but this time, it's a little different. In The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, amass represents Sauron's ever-growing armies of Orcs, which he plans to use to conquer all of Middle-earth and gain control of the One Ring once more.

If an ability refers to casting a historic spell, like Serra Disciple above does, it means whenever you cast an artifact spell, cast a legendary spell, or cast a Saga. Playing a legendary land (or an artifact land) won't cause those abilities to trigger because lands are never spells.

Typecycling is a variant of the cycling ability. "[Type]cycling [cost]" means "[Cost], Discard this card: Search your library for a [type] card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle." This type is usually a subtype (as in "Mountaincycling") but can be any card type, subtype, supertype, or combination thereof (as in "basic landcycling").
