Gimli's Fury

Gimli's Fury was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth'. This set marked the first major expansion under the Universes Beyond label, which integrates intellectual properties from outside the core Magic multiverse into the game's mechanics. The card was designed to represent the ferocity and combat prowess of the dwarf Gimli during the conflicts of the Third Age, serving as a thematic combat trick that emphasizes aggressive gameplay.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Livia Prima, who has contributed extensively to the Magic: The Gathering card pool. Her aesthetic approach for this piece focuses on a dynamic, high-impact depiction of Gimli in the heat of battle, capturing the raw intensity described in J.R.R. Tolkien’s source material. The card was received by the player community as a flavorful utility piece, noted for its ability to mirror the character's relentless nature in the context of the game's combat system.
