Trample

"Twenty-one!" cried Gimli. He hewed a two- handed stroke and laid the last Orc before his feet. "Now my count passes Master Legolas."

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 depicts the iconic dwarf Gimli from J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium. The card was designed as part of a crossover 'Universes Beyond' product, aiming to translate the narrative beats of The Two Towers into mechanical gameplay. Its ability, which triggers based on the number of creatures dying, reflects the competitive kill count tallying between Gimli and Legolas during the Battle of Helm’s Deep.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by John Howe, a renowned conceptual artist who served as a chief designer for Peter Jackson’s film trilogy. Howe’s aesthetic approach sought to bridge the gap between classic literary descriptions and the visual language established by the films. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its thematic resonance, functioning as an engine for aggressive red-color decks while honoring a memorable character dynamic from the source material.
