Where it came from
Pippin, Guard of the Citadel was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast as the first major release under the Universes Beyond brand, which integrates iconic intellectual properties into the established card game mechanics. The card depicts Peregrin Took in his Gondorian armor, reflecting his role during the Siege of Minas Tirith.
The card’s design reflects the set's aesthetic goal of balancing Tolkien's literary descriptions with the game's traditional fantasy art style. It features original artwork commissioned specifically for this set, emphasizing the character's transition from a carefree hobbit to a soldier of the White Tower. Upon release, the set was widely received by both long-term players and Tolkien enthusiasts for its deep integration of lore within the card text and art direction.
