Where it came from
Pippin, Guard of the Citadel was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This expansion represented the first major release under the Universes Beyond label, which integrates iconic intellectual properties into the game's mechanics. The card depicts Peregrin Took during his service in Gondor, capturing his transition from a wandering hobbit to a defender of Minas Tirith.
The artwork was commissioned from Polish illustrator Bartłomiej Gaweł, who has contributed extensively to the visual language of modern Magic: The Gathering. His design approach sought to capture a sense of gravity and duty, contrasting the character's smaller stature with the imposing architecture of the Citadel. The card was well-received by fans of both the Tolkien legendarium and the card game for its thematic attention to character development within the constraints of the game's rules.
