Provenance

Where it came from

Gollum, Patient Plotter (309) was released in 2023 as part of the 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth' set for Magic: The Gathering. This set marked a significant milestone as the first 'Universes Beyond' release to feature an entire card set dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, integrating the mechanics of the game with the lore of Middle-earth through a collaborative design process between Wizards of the Coast and Middle-earth Enterprises.

The card features artwork by illustrator Johannes Voss, who sought to capture the wretched yet calculating nature of the character during his descent into isolation. The design process focused on translating Gollum's obsessive personality into gameplay mechanics, specifically his ability to manipulate card advantage and board states to reflect his patient, parasitic nature. It was well-received by players for its thematic resonance and its utility in various Magic formats.
