Description
Gollum, Obsessed Stalker is a legendary Halfling Horror featured as card number 109 in the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset of Magic: The Gathering. This creature card, illustrated by John Di Giovanni, brings the complex duality of Tolkien’s character to the tabletop battlefield. With a mana cost of one black mana and a mana value of two, it offers an accessible entry point for decks built around the black color identity. The card’s primary mechanical identity revolves around the Skulk keyword, allowing this 1/1 creature to evade blocking by creatures with greater power. This defensive trait is particularly valuable in Commander formats where board presence is crucial. Beyond its evasion capabilities, Gollum, Obsessed Stalker features a potent end-step trigger. When activated, it forces opponents who dealt combat damage to the player’s Gollum this game to lose life equal to the life the controller gained that turn. This ability rewards aggressive play and life gain strategies, making it a versatile piece for collectors building thematic decks. For fans of the Tales of Middle-earth set, acquiring this commander adds a narrative layer to any collection focused on literary crossover themes in trading card games.
