Provenance

Where it came from

Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver, was introduced as a mythic artifact card in the 2023 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth' expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed to integrate J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the trading card game, requiring careful thematic alignment with the source material. Orcrist was specifically selected for its historical significance as one of the legendary blades forged in Gondolin, rediscovered by Thorin Oakenshield in a troll-hoard.

Artist Erikas Perl was commissioned to illustrate the card, focusing on the blade’s Elvish craftsmanship and its iconic blue-glowing affinity for detecting nearby orcs. The design emphasizes the sword's lethal elegance, aiming to translate its narrative role as a weapon of precision into a mechanical tool that grants card advantage to the player. Upon release, the card was widely discussed by players for its efficiency and its thematic resonance within the equipment-focused archetypes of the set.
