Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit

Description

The Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit card from the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset stands as a cornerstone for fans of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. As card number 2 in the LTC set, this mythic rare features a striking foil treatment that enhances its presence in any collection. Designed by Axel Sauerwald, the card brings the legendary halfling scout to life with a mana value of two and a unique black-white color identity. Gameplay mechanics for Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit revolve around strategic life gain and ring temptation. The creature possesses the Partner ability, allowing it to pair with Sam, Loyal Attendant, or other compatible commanders. Its vigilance keyword ensures it can block effectively while still attacking. A key feature triggers whenever Frodo attacks if you have gained three or more life during the turn; this initiates the Ring's temptation. If Frodo is your designated Ring-bearer and the Ring has tempted you twice or more throughout the game, you gain the advantage of drawing a card. The Commander subset provides a dedicated format where unique interactions like the Partner ability shine. This foil version adds a layer of visual appeal to the mythic rare tier, making it a desirable item for those who appreciate both the lore of Middle-earth and the strategic complexity of Magic. The card’s design and rules text offer a distinct experience, blending narrative elements with functional gameplay. Whether for building a thematic deck or adding to a set collection, this card represents a significant piece of the 2023 expansion.
