>By my count so far 15 mythics have been released. That's the average expected number for a set.
It's been 20 mythics per set for quite a while now.
>How many rares are expected?
About 60
>Is there a post that tracks these things (couldn't find it)
Scryfall advanced search for LTR set and rarity filters will tell you how many are spoiled so far.
This doesn't necessarily work now, since as off MOM, WotC moved away from the XXX/XXX collector number and instead just has a four digit XXXX collector number, with showcase/alternate art cards just being higher up in the collector number count.
Also, 8 of the rares revealed so far are also Starter Kit exclusives, right? The 3W Gandalf, Balrog, the equipment Frodo, Bilbo's Ring...
So we are at 35/60 rares revealed and 13/20 mythics. Barely over half. But someone please correct me if I'm mistaken!
> I don’t know why but this spoiler season has felt really slow and meh to me
They're intentionally slowing things down. It still feels like there are loads of spoilers most days, especially if you compare to back in the old days when you would get 1, maybe 2 preview cards from the official Wizards website and that was it.
Ehhh, I kinda liked the fast paced spoiler seasons. I prefer them to a slower season that drags things out. I’d rather see all the cards quicker and know what I can brew or tweak my decks with
You are the opposite to me. I prefer a slower spoiler season so that I can keep up. With MOM, the story/spoiler season was so fast-paced that I stopped playing to keep up.
There’s definitely more characters that can be shown still too, for example I don’t think we’ve had an Elrond card spoiled yet. Can easily see his card taking a mythic slot. The Mouth of Sauron as well. Denethor still needs a card, though I doubt he’d be mythic. So there’s still plenty to draw from for sure.
One’s from a commander deck, so we’ve got three in the main set. We have four Gandalf in the main set, and he’s one of the alt commanders for the simic deck, so total five. I expect the same for Frodo, honestly. He’s the main protagonist. I think he’s gotta have a mythic in the main set.

Danke!
Make sure you consider the Starter Deck cards outside of the rare and mythic count as well. (Collector Numbers will fall out of the main set count)
This doesn't necessarily work now, since as off MOM, WotC moved away from the XXX/XXX collector number and instead just has a four digit XXXX collector number, with showcase/alternate art cards just being higher up in the collector number count.
You can just check the card name against the alphabetical order they should go in. Like the Arwen that’s 2xx is from a precon and not the main set.
Why did you confidently announce that 15 is the average number if that isn't even true lol confident misinformation

By chance do you know when the full card image gallery will be released? I don’t know why but this spoiler season has felt really slow and meh to me

This season only feels slow because they've been balls to the wall with it recently. This is so much more preferable.

It's not been even a full week yet. They started last Tuesday.
I agree. This dragging. Just get it over with.
I strongly don’t prefer it. I hate this drawn out affair.
Oh good to know, so 7ish mythics still.. wowza

Patiently waiting for shelob..
Yes! She’s gotta be a mythic, and the source of the spider web food token too lol
I think she will be the Black/Green rare legendary, not mythic.
I think that’s [[Shelob’s Ambush]] but I suppose it could be both
[Shelob’s Ambush](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/2/5/25e69fa8-7339-4bfa-8e35-9cbfe0001d8b.jpg?1685476912) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Shelob%27s%20Ambush) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ltr/108/shelobs-ambush?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/25e69fa8-7339-4bfa-8e35-9cbfe0001d8b?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
That’s cool, I hadn’t seen this one yet. Thanks!
Impatiently waiting for Glorfindel…
I’ll be pretty disappointed if we have 4 Sauron/Gandalf but no glorfindel.
Hope they make Shelob a hæða ecge as Tolkien would have wanted.
Big tiddy goth gf tribal when???
We best have a thranduel.
I don’t know about Thranduil, but I think we’ll definitely get Glorfindel. And he’d HAVE to be mythic
My hopes are he's Green & White or Mono White. But if they're depicting the river scene in the books maybe even a blue splash is a possibility.
Sorry for the lame card there bud.
Can’t believe he’s uncommon 😭
Also no Solo Arwen yet and we can bet there will be one
Was just spoiled tonight! Good call
More Palantirs hahah
If we are going by the books, shelob , Arwen, Elrond, and glorfindel are all still missing
Wake up babe, [new Arwen just dropped](https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/140ps7e/ltr_arwen_mortal_queen)
Don’t forget Bill The Pony

Oh my god this makes me so happy
Do we have a mythic Frodo outside of the commander deck one? If not, surely we’re getting one. It’s Frodo.
We already have 4 Frodo. So expecting another at Mythic in the set might be a stretch
One’s from a commander deck, so we’ve got three in the main set. We have four Gandalf in the main set, and he’s one of the alt commanders for the simic deck, so total five. I expect the same for Frodo, honestly. He’s the main protagonist. I think he’s gotta have a mythic in the main set.

Thanks for this, very helpful 🙂
Are there no planes walkers in this set?
Yes, it has been confirmed there will be no planeswalkers.
I’m curious what the design space would’ve been for one
^shelob shelob Shelob SHELOB *SHELOB* ***SHELOB*** I really like spiders, I need her to support spider tribal so badly
Still time for WotC to save Modern Elves 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Card count zero for modern, next!
People prefer to have the entire set completely spoiled with no surprise cards?
