Where it came from
Gollum, Patient Plotter is a card released in 2023 as part of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, a collaborative expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, this set represented the first 'Universes Beyond' release to integrate an entire literary universe into the game's core format, allowing players to draft and play with iconic characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium.
The card was designed by the Wizards of the Coast internal creative team to mechanically represent Gollum’s obsessive nature and his role as a schemer. The illustration was created by artist Alexander Mokhov, who utilized a moody, cinematic style to capture the character's descent into shadow. The card was well-received by fans for its thematic accuracy, particularly the way its abilities mirror Gollum's reluctant cooperation and eventual betrayal.
