Where it came from
Sauron, the Dark Lord (card 675) was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This set marked a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast as part of their Universes Beyond series, which integrates external intellectual properties into the established trading card game framework. The card represents the titular antagonist at the height of his power, designed to emphasize his influence over his army and his connection to the One Ring.
The artwork, illustrated by Ralph Horsley, portrays Sauron in his armored form, commanding the forces of Mordor. The design team focused on creating a card with high mechanical complexity to reflect the character's strategic nature, utilizing a trigger-heavy ability set that punishes opponents for casting spells. Upon its release, the card was widely received by both players and collectors for its evocative depiction of the character and its synergy within the Commander format.
