Along with a fixed component (which is made up of different cards for the two different decks), 3 random rare cards are added to each starter. This kept the product useful for new players and veterans alike, as well as being a means of keeping [[Sealed]] formats more interesting. | |||
Also included is a [[Rulebooks#Starter_Rulebooks|Starter Rulebook]], which acts as a reference and a guide teaching new players how to play the game. The rules included in the Starter Rulebook are altered from standard play, such as: the site path is shortened to use only 7 [[Site]]s, and players flip a coin to choose turn order instead of [[bidding]] [[Burdens|burdens]].

While [[Starter Decks]] were introduced to both act as a low-cost trial product and a reliable source of rares, the [[Deluxe Starter Sets]] acted as an all-in-one entry point that would provide not only the various tokens that gameplay would require, but also an introduction into [[Booster Packs]], which were the primary way of finding new cards. The storage box shouldn't be overlooked either, and as it came in 3 different varieties, there was still a reason for the diehard collector to purchase more than one. Notably, the Deluxe set came with neither of the [[Premium]] cards that ''were'' included in the two basic Starter Decks. | While [[Starter Decks]] were introduced to both act as a low-cost trial product and a reliable source of rares, the [[Deluxe Starter Sets]] acted as an all-in-one entry point that would provide not only the various tokens that gameplay would require, but also an introduction into [[Booster Packs]], which were the primary way of finding new cards.

These foils are diffraction foils. The foil cards have differing rarities, and they appear approximately as follows: | |||
* 1 Common foil every 13 packs | * 1 Common foil every 13 packs | ||
* 1 Uncommon foil every 18 packs | * 1 Uncommon foil every 18 packs | ||

|text=Players can also get these foil cards by playing in sanctioned The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game tournaments. Every sanctioned tournament will have three foils to give out. A random Rare foil will go to the winner, a random Uncommon foil will go to second place, and a random Common foil will be given out to a random participant. The foils for tournament prizes will be taken from the parallel foil set and are not different from the ones that are in booster packs. | |||
Completing the foil set will not be simple, but it will be an attainable goal. Being a tournament player increases your chances of completing a foil set of these cards. | |||
