Destroy target creature that blocked or was blocked by a legendary creature this turn.
It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm.

Where it came from
Released in 2023 as part of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set for Magic: The Gathering, this card depicts the iconic confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. The card was designed to capture a definitive narrative moment from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, functioning within the game as a powerful reactive spell that removes a creature from the battlefield.
The artwork was commissioned from artist Campbell White, who utilized a dramatic, high-contrast style to emphasize the scale and intensity of the encounter. Within the trading card community, the card is recognized for its thematic accuracy and effectiveness in gameplay, and it was well-received by fans for its successful integration of the source material into the mechanics of the Universes Beyond expansion.
