Where it came from
In the Darkness Bind Them was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth' Commander set. The card depicts the iconic moment of the One Ring's creation in the fires of Mount Doom. It was designed to capture the corrupting influence of Sauron’s ring, functioning mechanically as a powerful board wipe that thematicizes the dark power exerted over the inhabitants of Middle-earth.
The artwork was commissioned from artist Greg Staples, known for his atmospheric and gritty fantasy illustrations. Staples aimed to evoke a sense of impending doom and arcane weight, utilizing deep reds and blacks to emphasize the volcanic origins of the artifact. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for both its thematic integration into the lore of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium and its strategic utility within the Commander format.
