Where it came from
Sting, the Glinting Dagger was released as part of the 2023 Magic: The Gathering set 'The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth.' This card was issued as a special promotional variant, appearing with a unique borderless art style that captures the iconic elven blade from J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium. The set represented the inaugural release for the 'Universes Beyond' initiative, which integrates non-Magic intellectual properties into the game's established mechanics, allowing fans to incorporate Middle-earth elements into their deck-building strategies.
The artwork for this specific promotional printing was handled by the artist Lius Lasahido, who sought to emphasize the blade’s ethereal nature and its signature ability to glow in the presence of orcs. By utilizing a minimalist, cinematic approach to the design, the card aims to evoke the atmosphere of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’ journeys through the Misty Mountains and beyond. The card was well received by the community for its thematic resonance and its ability to mechanically mirror the lore-accurate utility of the dagger within the game's combat system.
