This Is a Project that I have been working on and would love to see finished.
Originally I had started creating this set for PSP but recently I have switched to the Android version of Wagic.
I decided to go ahead and upload everything I have worked on so far.
So If anyone is interested in finishing this project please feel free to work away and maybe we'll see an Android/PC/PSP release yet!

Re: [8/8/12] The Lord of the Rings: Wagic Edition
Nice Set! Well done overall.
If I were to make a set based on LOTR I'd do the following:
The Balrog is too powerful as is. He could have wiped out the whole Fellowship on the main phase of his players turn after he comes into play as currently written. Maybe make it a limited power strike once a turn perhaps.
Gandalf should be White and have a Transform ability; possibly triggered by a return from the graveyard effect. He was a character that used his power for knowledge and defense. The spell he invokes against the Balrog should have a when target creature attacks it deals X damage to it maybe with a destroy a land effect (the bridge he wa defending).
Witch King of Agmar should have Infect instead of Deathtouch; otherwise Frodo would have been killed (after the combat phase in WTH) on Weathertop...
Frodo should have Regeneration and a TAP remove x -1/-1 counters from Frodo and he does not untap during the next two untap phases.
Kingsfoil - Choose one; Return target non-black creature from your graveyard to your battlefield or regenerate target non-black creature or remove X -1/-1 counters.
Arwen should grant protection from black for herself and a target creature ueot. She should have a seperate spell or ability that triggers if Rivendell is in play to destroy x target Attacking black creatures.
Elrond should have Regenerate target non-black creature and TAP COST remove X -1/-1 counters from target creature and perhaps a draw X cards effect. The way he is written doesn't fit his described persona. Yes he fought against Sauron and his armies but he healed Frodo and provided counsel/direction for the Fellowship to proceed.
Samwise should have a tap itself to Regenerate Frodo effect. I do like the multicolored mana flavor from him being a gardner.
The Shire should be an actual Land and not an enchantment. Perhaps like An-Hava Township or an add two WW/GG mana Land. The Shire should NOT be a legendary land; nobody heard of it until just before the War of the Ring.
Isengard should be a legendary land and have a sacrifice a forest/Orcish Lumberjack style mana effect and a sacrifice X forest to draw X card effect.
Rivendell Legendary Land tap to regenerate target creature or pay x remove x -1/-1 counters
Lothorien (G/W), Moria (U/R)and the Mordor(R/B) should be Legendary Lands, these places were spoken of in fear and awe respectively
Sting should provide vigilance as an ability if an opponent has a Goblin or an Orc on their battlefield.
King Elendil, Isuldir and the other pre-War of the Ring Legendary Characters not directly involved with the Fellowship should be removed as they represent back story and are not participants in the War of the Ring events.
I think that the Isengard Orcs should be red and the Mordor Orcs should be black.
Saruman might start off white AND Blue but transform to black if Mordor comes into play. The LOTR movies make me think he's an industrial revolution artificer(Blue)...
The books to me also suggested he was more Blue than WHITE.
Finally the nine walkers and nine riders should have an ALLY effect for each other.
I could go on but I applaud what you have attempted to do.

Re: [8/8/12] The Lord of the Rings: Wagic Edition
This was my first Wagic project and like I said I haven't been able to work on this set for a while and that is why I went ahead and uploaded the project, I tried to add every interesting Tolkien character I could think of.
Would you maybe want to have ago touching up my cards and releasing the set officially for me?
Your ideas sound really cool my knowledge on magic cards isn't just as vast but your suggestions would suit them very well.
Here is the original MSE File

You can open it up and edit away!

Re: [8/8/12] The Lord of the Rings: Wagic Edition
At this juncture, I have too much going on right now to do the project the justice it deserves.
I also don't have MSE and I don't know how to use it.
If I did I'd have a few other projects ahead of doing something like this. I'd do more of the old MTG sets in modern format and revisit Star Wars starting with SW: Republic Commando as THE base set (soldiers vs droids) and build off that. Again I think what SW sets has been done for WTH so far, tries to include WAY TOO MUCH. I have been thinking about treating the Jedi/Sith as Planeswalkers. Your LOTR lands have given me some ideas on how to treat planets...
What you have done with the LOTR cards overall looks amazing though.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Arwen shouldn't had to be a legendary creature? And a flavor text more related to herself or her role in the story rather to Aragorn? Just an opinion. I wolud do her (i mean, create the card... XD) as a multicolored legendary creature, maybe white/green. Again, it's just an opinion.
