Belladonna Took

Description

As a rare Legendary Creature with the Halfling Citizen types, this card offers collectors and players a unique entry point into the Middle-earth-themed set, blending narrative flavor with functional gameplay. The card’s mana cost of one generic mana and one white mana makes it accessible early in the game, allowing for quick deployment alongside other white-aligned strategies. The card’s rules text provides a progressive reward system tied to token creation. Whenever a token you control enters the battlefield, Belladonna Took triggers a sequence of effects based on how many times this ability has resolved that turn. On the first resolution, the controller gains one life, providing immediate board stability. The second resolution rewards the player with a card draw, helping to maintain resource advantage. If the ability resolves a third time, the effect escalates to placing a +1/+1 counter on each creature the player controls, significantly boosting the board presence for a low initial investment. This scaling mechanic encourages players to build token-heavy decks, making Belladonna Took a valuable asset in synergistic strategies. Illustrated by Kristina Carroll, the card features a power and toughness of 2/2, reflecting its role as a supportive commander rather than a direct combat threat. Its white color identity allows it to fit seamlessly into various white-based archetypes, particularly those focused on life gain and token production. For collectors, this card represents a key piece of the The Hobbit set, offering both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth. The combination of its legendary status, unique progressive abilities, and connection to the beloved fantasy universe makes Belladonna Took a standout addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
