Creatures with power greater than the number of cards in your hand can't attack.
The way out lay across a slender bridge of stone. It was an ancient defense of the Dwarves that could only be traversed in single file.

Where it came from
Originally debuted in the 1997 Stronghold expansion, Ensnaring Bridge was designed by Mike Elliott as a powerful defensive tool for Magic: The Gathering. The card was conceived to curb aggressive playstyles by restricting attackers based on the number of cards in a player's hand, a mechanic that quickly became a hallmark of control decks across various competitive formats.
This specific version originates from the Tales of Middle-earth Commander set, released in 2023. The card features a unique art treatment that ties the classic functionality of the artifact to the lore of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, specifically depicting the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. This iteration was received as a sought-after aesthetic upgrade for fans blending the game’s deep mechanical history with the Middle-earth aesthetic.
