Where it came from
In the Darkness Bind Them was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Tales of Middle-earth Commander set, a collaboration that integrated J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the game’s mechanics. The card was designed to mechanically represent the corrupting influence of the One Ring, functioning as an enchantment that scales in power based on the player's ability to amass resources, reflecting the mounting weight of Sauron's dominion over Middle-earth.
The artwork was commissioned from Daarken, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering franchise. In his depiction, the artist focused on the chilling, spectral aesthetic associated with the Nazgûl and the dark magic of Mordor. The design aimed to evoke a sense of inevitable dread, opting for a dark, atmospheric color palette that distinguishes it from the more heroic imagery found elsewhere in the set, a direction that was well-received by players for capturing the somber tone of the source material.
