Description
The Champions of Minas Tirith card (LTC #412) from the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset stands as a pivotal white mana creature for Magic: The Gathering collectors. This six-mana Human Soldier card introduces a strategic monarch mechanic that shifts game dynamics by forcing opponents to pay mana costs based on their hand size to declare attackers. Designed by Tatiana Kirgetova, the foil finish enhances its visual appeal for investors and set builders alike. Collectors often target this release to complete the LTC Commander subset, which expands the Middle-earth theme into limited formats. The card’s ability to protect against aggressive strategies makes it a notable addition for players exploring Commander deck construction. As part of the broader Tales of Middle-earth series, this piece connects with the rich lore of J.R.R. Tolkien’s universe. The combination of its unique rules text and the high-quality foil treatment makes it a sought-after item for enthusiasts of both the game and the source material.
