Where it came from
Released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, this card was created under the Universes Beyond imprint, which integrates iconic intellectual properties into the long-standing trading card game. The set was designed to capture the epic scale and lore of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, offering players a way to engage with the characters and locations of Middle-earth through the strategic mechanics of the game.
The card features artwork by Dmitry Burmak, an illustrator known for his evocative character portraits. Burmak’s vision for the piece focuses on the gentle, protective nature of Gandalf during his time in the Shire. The design was received positively by the player base for its thematic accuracy, as the card’s mechanics reflect Gandalf's role as a guide and guardian, distinguishing it as a staple within the set’s collection of uncommon-rarity cards.
