What it does
Whenever Gollum attacks, look at the top two cards of your library, put them back in any order, then choose land or nonland. An opponent guesses whether the top card of your library is the chosen kind. Reveal that card. If they guessed right, remove Gollum from combat. Otherwise, you draw a card and Gollum can't be blocked this turn.

Where it came from
Gollum, Scheming Guide was 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 as a 'Universes Beyond' release, integrating J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the game’s mechanics. The card was designed to capture Gollum's duplicitous nature, offering players a recurring way to manipulate their hand and graveyard to reflect his obsession with the One Ring.
The artwork for this piece was crafted by illustrator Wisnu Tan, who utilized a moody, shadow-heavy palette to emphasize the character's isolation and creeping movements within the caverns of the Misty Mountains. The design intent was to create a functional representation of the character's narrative arc, balancing his utility in the game with his psychological instability. It was generally well-received by the player community for its thematic resonance and its ability to fit effectively into black-aligned strategy decks.
