Lord of the Nazgûl

Description

The Lord of the Nazgûl stands as a formidable presence within the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset. As a legendary Wraith Noble, this card brings significant strategic weight to decks built around the Wraith tribe. Its mana cost of three generic, one blue, and one black mana makes it accessible for mid-range strategies while maintaining its status as a high-impact play. The card's design emphasizes the terrifying nature of the Ringwraiths. It grants flying and provides protection from Ring-bearers to your other Wraiths, establishing board control early. More importantly, it triggers powerful effects whenever you cast instant or sorcery spells. Each trigger creates a 3/3 black Wraith creature token with menace, rapidly expanding your army. If you manage to control nine or more Wraiths, a game-ending effect activates, boosting the base power and toughness of your Wraiths to 9/9 until the end of turn. The card, numbered 467 in the Tales of Middle-earth set, is a rare addition to any collection. Its ability to generate tokens and empower your board state makes it a centerpiece for Wraith-focused Commander decks. Building a collection around this era of Magic: The Gathering offers a deep dive into the lore of Middle-earth through its card mechanics.
