Shadow of the Enemy

Description

The Shadow of the Enemy card from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Tales of Middle-earth Promos set stands as a potent addition for any TCG enthusiast. Carrying the card number 107s and marked with the PLTR set code, this foil Mythic Rare release is designed for collectors who appreciate high-tier rarity within the franchise's expanding lore. The card features artwork by Shahab Alizadeh, adding visual appeal to this black sorcery that commands a mana value of six. In gameplay terms, Shadow of the Enemy offers a sweeping effect that exiles all creature cards from a target player's graveyard. This powerful removal option allows the caster to potentially cast spells from among those exiled cards, provided they remain in exile, and permits the use of mana of any type to cast them. This flexibility makes the card a significant tool for graveyard disruption and resource recursion in casual or competitive formats alike. Collectors often seek out this promo for its thematic connection to Middle-earth, drawing from the narrative moment when Frodo puts on the Ring and Sauron’s wrath and fear become palpable. The flavor text captures this tension, highlighting the magnitude of Sauron’s folly as his wrath blazes in consuming flame while his fear rises like black smoke. As a foil finish, the card’s reflective surface enhances its presentation, making it a desirable piece for completing the Tales of Middle-earth Promos subset or for those building a themed collection. Whether used to dominate the board or displayed as a premium collectible, this Magic: The Gathering card bridges the gap between strategic depth and aesthetic beauty.
