Where it came from
The Barrow-Blade card was released in 2023 as part of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, an expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed under a partnership between Wizards of the Coast and Middle-earth Enterprises, the set reimagines the iconic events and artifacts of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium within the mechanics of the game. This specific card represents the enchanted daggers recovered by the hobbits from the barrow-wights, which are famously used later in the narrative to confront the Witch-king of Angmar.
The artwork was created by illustrator Antonio José Manzanedo, who aimed to capture the ancient, weathered aesthetic of the weaponry found in the burial mounds. His design focuses on the subtle, glowing runes inscribed on the blades, reflecting their magical purpose as bane-weapons specifically forged to combat the undead. The card was well-received by players for its thematic utility, as its mechanics allow it to be equipped efficiently to small creatures, mirroring how the hobbits wielded these items in the source material.
