Where it came from
Pippin, Guard of the Citadel was released in 2023 as part of the 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth' set, a collaborative expansion between Wizards of the Coast and Middle-earth Enterprises. The card depicts Peregrin Took in his formal Gondorian armor, capturing a pivotal moment where the character transitions from a wandering Hobbit into a seasoned soldier of Minas Tirith. This set was designed to integrate J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, aiming to balance thematic fidelity with the mechanical depth expected by veteran players.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Lie Setiawan, who utilized a cinematic lighting style to emphasize Pippin’s solemnity and the weight of his duty during the siege of the city. The artwork focuses on the contrast between the small, unassuming stature of a Hobbit and the grandeur of the Citadel’s architecture. Upon release, the set received significant attention for its high-production-value art and its successful marriage of high fantasy literature with collectible card game mechanics, becoming a sought-after staple for both fans of Tolkien and competitive players alike.
