Where it came from
Gollum, Patient Plotter is a card released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth'. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast, representing their first major 'Universes Beyond' release that fully integrated an external literary franchise into a tentpole card set. The card was designed to mechanically reflect Gollum's persistent, obsessive nature and his reliance on subterfuge within the narrative of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work.
The artwork for this specific iteration was created by the illustrator Igor Kieryluk. In designing the piece, Kieryluk aimed to capture the character's signature hunched, wary stance and his desperate fixation on the One Ring. The card was well-received by players for its thematic resonance with Gollum’s character arc, specifically how his ability to 'tempt the player' mirrors the corrupting influence the ring exerts on anyone who possesses it.
