MTG Collector Offers $50,000 To Throw One Ring Card Into A Volcano

Magic: The Gathering and The Lord of the Rings fans have come together to marvel at the Tales of Middle-earth crossover. A collection that will bring iconic Tolkien characters to MTG, including various cards that will represent the tale's rings. There will also be a one-of-a-kind The One Ring card, and someone is offering $50,000 to whoever finds it providing they can scale a volcano together and toss the card in once they reach the summit.

The tantalizing offer has been made by someone called Dan Bock. Yes, for those who have been following this saga, that's the same Dan Bock who previously offered $100,000 for the card providing the seller not tell anyone they had it before the transaction was complete. It seems Bock has changed their mind as they now want to pay half as much to throw the card into a volcano.

“If you find the ring, I'll pay you $50k, and we throw it into a volcano,” Bock's new offer reads. An offer that appears to have tempted more people than the original one, presumably because even though it's half the cash, they get the attention that will come with finding a one-of-a-kind card.

Bock isn't the first to joke that The One Ring must be thrown into a volcano. In fact, so many people have suggested that's exactly what they'll do if they find it that MTG's Head Designer felt the need to issue a statement urging people not to do that due to how dangerous it would be. Some of you have also pointed out the card needs to be destroyed where it was created, as was the case for The One Ring, and no, it wasn't forged in the fires of Mount Doom.

If you do plan on seeking out The One Ring, know that there is technically more than one of them out there. The One Ring you need to be on the lookout for is a serialized foil version that will be placed inside just one booster pack. If you don't want to keep that piece of History in your collection forever, I'd consider selling it under a normal set of circumstances before you scale a volcano with a stranger.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when paired with the Hammer Time staple

Fired WoW Lead Says Blizzard Is Being "Torn Apart" By Bosses

A fired World of Warcraft lead engineer has spoken out after news of his termination was leaked last night. According to both the initial report and his own testimony, Brian Birmingham was fired after he failed to meet a quota on negative employee evaluations, with bosses requiring him to mark down five percent of the coworkers he assessed. Birmingham, who was the lead software engineer on Warcraft Classic, worked at Blizzard for 17 years prior to his dismissal. Now that the news is public, Birmingham is using the opportunity to shed some light on the working conditions within the company, suggesting that little has changed in some areas, even after allegations of abuse in the workplace were made public in 2021.
