Where it came from
Gollum, Patient Plotter is a card released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth'. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast as a flagship 'Universes Beyond' release, bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the mechanics of the game. The card was designed to reflect Gollum's signature duplicity and obsession, featuring mechanics that encourage careful resource management and strategic delay, consistent with the character's narrative role in the source material.
The card's art was created by illustrator Matt Stewart, who sought to capture the unsettling, singular focus of the character as he tracks his 'precious'. The visual direction emphasizes the shadowed, subterranean nature of Gollum’s existence, utilizing a muted color palette to contrast with the more heroic depictions of other Middle-earth figures. Upon release, the card was received as a flavorful addition to the set, praised by players for its thematic resonance with Gollum's desperate, enduring presence in the story.
