Where it came from
Gollum's Bite was released as part of the 2023 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth' expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set marked the first time the game utilized its 'Universes Beyond' branding to fully integrate a major literary franchise into its ruleset, aiming to capture the essence of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work while adhering to the strategic mechanics of the collectible card game.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Lie Setiawan, who focused on capturing the predatory and desperate nature of the character Gollum within the dark aesthetic of the series. The design emphasizes the card's mechanical function as a 'removal' spell, visually representing Gollum’s lethal intervention in the narrative. Upon release, the set was noted for its success in balancing iconic lore with modern competitive play, with this specific card being recognized for its thematic resonance with the character's role in the trilogy.
