Where it came from
Meriadoc Brandybuck, collector number 177, was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering 'Tales of Middle-earth' expansion. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast as the first major 'Universes Beyond' release, integrating J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the mechanics of a collectible card game. The card was designed to reflect the character's role as a loyal companion and eventual leader within the Shire, aligning his gameplay abilities with his resourcefulness in the narrative.
The illustration was crafted by artist Lie Setiawan, who utilized a warm, detailed aesthetic to capture Merry’s transition from a lighthearted hobbit to a stalwart warrior. The design process focused on balancing the character’s familiar iconography with the established visual language of the trading card game. Upon release, the set received widespread attention for its successful synthesis of fantasy literature and modern tabletop gaming, earning praise for its thematic depth and the high quality of its character portrayals.
