Where it came from
Dearly Departed is a card featured in the Magic: The Gathering 'Tales of Middle-earth' Commander set, released in 2023. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast as part of the 'Universes Beyond' line, which integrates established intellectual properties into the game's mechanics. The card draws its thematic inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary high-fantasy mythos, specifically capturing the somber atmosphere of honoring those who have passed within the narrative of Middle-earth.
The artistic direction for this card was helmed by illustrator Wisnu Tan, who aimed to evoke the ethereal and melancholic essence of the source material. By employing a distinct color palette and atmospheric lighting, the design emphasizes a sense of reverence and finality appropriate for the lore. The piece was well-received by players and collectors alike, particularly those who appreciate the intersection of classic tabletop mechanics and the iconic aesthetics of the Lord of the Rings universe.
