Card face

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.

Provenance

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 the first full expansion under the Universes Beyond label, which integrates intellectual properties from outside the Magic multiverse into the game's mechanics. The card was designed to represent the corrupting, mimetic nature of Sauron's influence, functioning as a sorcery that allows a player to exile a card from an opponent's graveyard and cast it, effectively turning an adversary's resources against them.

The artwork was provided by Shahab Alizadeh, who focused on capturing the dark, ethereal presence of the Nazgûl. Alizadeh’s illustration leans into a high-contrast, atmospheric style that emphasizes the ominous nature of the Lord of the Rings aesthetic. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its thematic resonance and utility in Commander formats, where the ability to utilize opponents' cards provides a strategic advantage that mirrors the psychological manipulation associated with the One Ring.
