Where it came from
Sting, card number 471 from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, was released by Wizards of the Coast in 2023 as part of a landmark 'Universes Beyond' set. The card depicts the iconic elven blade forged in Gondolin, which famously glows blue when orcs are near. This equipment card was designed to mechanically represent the weapon's utility for hobbits within the game, granting bonuses to creatures that have recently entered the battlefield or specifically referencing the lore of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Xavier Ribeiro, who aimed to capture the ethereal, shimmering quality of the blade as described in J.R.R. Tolkien’s original manuscripts. The visual language of the set was developed to bridge the gap between traditional fantasy aesthetics and the established style of Magic: The Gathering, receiving broad acclaim for its evocative world-building. Upon release, the set was noted for its integration of high-fantasy literary motifs into a complex, competitive card game format, with items like Sting becoming staples for players looking to theme their decks around Middle-earth artifacts.
