Where it came from
Bard, King of Dale (280) was released as a mythic rarity creature card within the Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set for Magic: The Gathering. Published by Wizards of the Coast, this expansion aimed to integrate J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the game’s mechanics, capturing the heroic essence of characters from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings through thematic card design.
The card features artwork by illustrator James Bousema, who focused on portraying Bard as a regal yet battle-hardened figure. Bousema’s aesthetic direction emphasizes the character's nobility and his pivotal role in the defense of Laketown, utilizing a dramatic composition that highlights the mantle of kingship. The card was well-received by players for its strong tribal synergies and its faithful visual interpretation of the character's literary transition from bowman to monarch.
