Azog, Moria's Ruin

Description

Azog, Moria's Ruin is a distinctive legendary creature card from Magic: The Gathering's The Hobbit set, released in 2026. Identified as card number 258, this foil variant features a black mana cost of {2}{B} and serves as a Goblin Soldier with a power and toughness of 1/3. As a Rare rarity card, it appeals to collectors who appreciate the crossover between J.R.R. Tolkien's lore and the strategic depth of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card's unique gameplay mechanic allows it to impact the battlefield immediately upon entering play. When Azog enters the battlefield, players can destroy up to one other target creature. The controller of that destroyed creature then amasses Goblins equal to its power, adding +1/+1 counters to an Army they control or creating a new Goblin Army token if none exists. If the player controlling Azog also controlled the destroyed creature, they draw a card, creating a dynamic exchange of resources. Collectors often seek out foil versions of cards from The Hobbit set due to their aesthetic appeal and the nostalgic connection to the beloved fantasy series. The foil treatment enhances the card's visual presence, making it a standout addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Hobbit universe or simply expanding your roster of legendary creatures, Azog, Moria's Ruin offers both thematic intrigue and mechanical versatility. Its design by Dibujante Nocturno adds to its collector value, capturing the essence of the character within the game's artistic style. For those interested in the intersection of fantasy literature and tabletop gaming, this card represents a significant piece of the 2026 release.
