Where it came from
Pippin, Guard of the Citadel was released in 2023 as part of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, an expansion set for Magic: The Gathering that integrated J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the game’s mechanics. The card depicts Peregrin Took in his formal Gondorian armor, reflecting his enlistment into the Citadel Guard during the events of The Return of the King. Its inclusion serves as a bridge between the narrative arc of the character and the strategic gameplay of the set, emphasizing his growth from a reluctant traveler to a dedicated defender of Minas Tirith.
The artwork for the card was created by illustrator Anna Steinbauer, who utilized a realistic, cinematic style to capture the somber gravity of the siege of Gondor. Designed to function within the set’s mechanics, the card focuses on Pippin’s role as an advisor and scout, mirroring his literary contributions to the defense of the city. Upon its release, the set was widely received by both long-time fans of Middle-earth and tabletop players, with the artistic direction praised for its respectful and evocative interpretation of the source material.
