What it does
Exile all creature cards from target player's graveyard. You may cast spells from among those cards for as long as they remain exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast them.
As Frodo put on the Ring, Sauron was suddenly aware of the magnitude of his own folly. His wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like black smoke.

Where it came from
Shadow of the Enemy 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, representing the first time the Universes Beyond initiative integrated a major literary work into the primary Modern-legal format. The card depicts a pivotal thematic moment from the legendarium, focusing on the pervasive psychological and metaphysical influence of Sauron, designed to translate high-fantasy narrative tension into the mechanics of gameplay.
The card was illustrated by Shahab Alizadeh, whose visual approach emphasizes the dark, ethereal nature of the Shadow. Alizadeh utilized a brooding color palette to capture the ominous atmosphere inherent to Mordor and the corrupting power of the One Ring. Upon its release, the card was received as a flavorful, high-impact sorcery, noted for its ability to mimic an opponent's recent spell, effectively mirroring the manipulative and deceptive nature of its titular antagonist within the game's strategic environment.
