Where it came from
Old Man Willow was released in 2023 as part of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, a collaborative expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast, representing the first time the Universes Beyond initiative integrated a major literary work into the game's core mechanics, aiming to translate J.R.R. Tolkien’s world into the strategic framework of modern fantasy gaming.
The card was illustrated by artist Donato Giancola, a renowned figure in the science fiction and fantasy art world known for his classical painting style. In depicting this ancient and malevolent tree from the Old Forest, Giancola sought to capture the character's eerie, sentient presence rather than a standard monster design. Upon release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike, noted for its thematic accuracy and the atmospheric depth provided by Giancola's painterly approach.
