Gaps mean no observation; guide estimates and asking prices are not completed sales.The Mirkwood Nurturer is a creature card from Magic: The Gathering, specifically appearing as card number 160 in the 2026 The Hobbit expansion. Illustrated by Irina Nordsol, this Common card features a two-color mana cost of {2}{G/U}, allowing it to be played using either green or blue mana sources. It is classified as a Creature — Elf Ranger with a power and toughness of 3/2, making it a versatile addition to decks seeking thematic consistency or specific color requirements. The card’s primary appeal lies in its unique triggered ability. When Mirkwood Nurturer enters the battlefield, it allows the controller to return up to one other target permanent they control to its owner's hand. If this effect resolves, a +1/+1 counter is placed on Mirkwood Nurturer. This mechanic provides a flexible way to manipulate the board state, either by temporarily removing a problematic permanent or by trading a resource for a larger, more resilient creature. The flavor text, attributed to Gandalf, reads: "Merry be the greenwood, while the world is yet young! And merry be all your folk!" This ties the card firmly into the lore of the Middle-earth setting. Collectors and players interested in The Hobbit set will find Mirkwood Nurturer to be a distinct piece of the checklist. Its dual-color identity and conditional power boost offer interesting decision points during gameplay. The card is part of the growing collection of Magic: The Gathering trading cards available for enthusiasts looking to complete their sets or expand their library with thematic elements from the popular franchise.
