In a twinkling the table was laid. There was hot soup, cold meats, a blackberry tart, new loaves, slabs of butter, and half a ripe cheese: good plain food, as good as the Shire could show.

Where it came from
Mentor of the Meek was originally introduced in the Innistrad set in 2011, designed to provide white decks with a reliable method of card advantage by rewarding the player for casting smaller creatures. The card represents a recurring mechanical identity within Magic: The Gathering, specifically focusing on the synergy between low-power utility creatures and card draw, which helps mitigate the color's historical struggles with replenishing hand size.
This particular version, numbered 173, appeared in the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander release. It features updated art by Greg Staples, who was commissioned to reimagine the mentor figure through the lens of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium. The illustration leans into the scholarly and patient aesthetic appropriate for the setting, and the card was well-received by players for both its thematic integration and its functional utility in the Commander format.
