Where it came from
Gimli, Mournful Avenger, numbered 436 in the set, was released as part of the 2023 Magic: The Gathering expansion The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This set marked a significant milestone as the first full-scale integration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the game, developed under the Universes Beyond label to bridge the gap between fantasy tabletop gaming and high-fantasy literature.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Lie Setiawan, who focused on capturing the gravitas of a grieving warrior rather than his typical battle-hardened ferocity. The design intent was to reflect a specific, somber narrative beat from the source material, balancing the requirements of game mechanics with the emotional weight of Middle-earth’s history. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its thematic resonance and its utility in specific deck archetypes.
