If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead. When you do, create a 2/2 green Wolf creature token.
The Wargs planned to come by night upon the villages nearest the mountains. If their plan had been carried out, there would have been none left there next day.

Where it came from
Head of the Hunt was released as part of The Hobbit expansion set for the Decipher, Inc. trading card game, which debuted in the early 2000s. Developed to capitalize on the success of Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, the game utilized an engine similar to the studio's successful Lord of the Rings CCG. This specific card was crafted to represent the thematic tension of the hunting parties encountered by the company of dwarves, fitting into a design philosophy that sought to blend gameplay mechanics with the narrative arc of the source material.
The card’s illustration was commissioned to capture the distinct aesthetic established by the film's concept art and costume design departments. Decipher relied on a stable of fantasy artists to ensure the game maintained a cohesive visual identity that felt authentic to the world of Middle-earth. Upon release, the set was received by the gaming community as a faithful, if complex, interpretation of the lore, prized by players for its attention to detail and ability to facilitate deck-building strategies centered around the specific hazards faced by Bilbo and his companions.
