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 integration of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium into the trading card game through the Universes Beyond initiative, which adapts popular intellectual properties into the game's mechanics. The card depicts Peregrin Took in his formal armor during his service to Denethor II in Minas Tirith, capturing a pivotal transition in his character development from a lighthearted hobbit to a defender of the realm.
The card’s aesthetic was crafted by artist Martina Fačková, who utilized a traditional painterly style to evoke the gravitas of the Siege of Gondor. Her design emphasizes the contrast between Pippin's small stature and the monumental scale of his duties, reflecting the broader artistic goal of the set to provide a respectful, immersive interpretation of Middle-earth. The card received positive attention from collectors for its clean mechanical synergy within the game and its faithful visual representation of the source material.
