I got myself a jumpstart bootser box, excited to put together my first "battle box" to play with friends and introduce new players to the game. I only got a couple of true duplicate packs, but not a single green theme - which seems odd? I guess they don't color balance the boxes, and I just got unlucky, but it kinda sucks. I could use advice - to get some green packs, is it wiser to just buy singles, or trust the probability that some future box won't be missing all the green packs, as well?

I've got a rules question, because if this works, it's one heck of a flavor win: Can [[Doors of Durin]] bring out [[The Watcher in the Water]] tapped and attacking, or will The Watcher in the Water be unable to attack due to the stun counters?

What do you guys think about The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Commander precons?

    I'm planning on getting the Food and Fellowship deck, or getting the blue-green elf deck. I'm new to the format and I don't have any commander decks, so I guess one of these is going to be my first!

    You said you already tried to order yours - are pre-orders open at local game stores? I'm going to be at the pre-release tomorrow, so I guess I'll try to order mine then!

    Newbie question, but suppose more than one player has a copy of [[Long List of the Ents]] on the battlefield. Can you note a creature type that has already been noted by an opponent?
