MTG Hobbit reignites the "no pumpkins allowed in Middle-earth" debate, and yes, it's as wild as it sounds
A debate has resurfaced within the Magic: The Gathering community regarding the inclusion of pumpkins in the upcoming The Hobbit set, specifically on basic land cards depicting the Shire. This has reignited discussions about lore accuracy, as pumpkins are not native to Middle-earth according to Tolkien's established world-building, leading to past content restrictions in other Lord of the Rings projects.
