Where it came from
The Black Breath was released in 2023 as part of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, an expansion for the Magic: The Gathering card game. This set was unique as a direct-to-modern crossover, marking the first time the game fully integrated J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into its mechanics. The card depicts the Nazgûl’s dread-inducing influence, a core element of the dark atmosphere pervasive in the Third Age of Middle-earth.
The artwork was created by illustrator Miranda Meeks, who sought to capture the ethereal and paralyzing terror associated with the Ringwraiths. By utilizing a muted color palette and focus on the psychological weight of the encounter, the design aims to translate the literary fear described in the source material into a visceral visual experience. Upon release, the set was widely received by players and fantasy enthusiasts for its attention to Tolkien's lore and high-quality artistic contributions.
