Elrond, Lord of Rivendell (Card #500) is a key legendary creature from the Magic: The Gathering 2023 expansion, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This uncommon foil card brings the steward of Rivendell to life as a 3/2 Elf Noble, offering collectors a tangible connection to the beloved fantasy universe through Ryan Yee’s artwork. The gameplay mechanics of Elrond, Lord of Rivendell are centered around card selection and decision-making. Whenever Elrond or another creature you control enters the battlefield, you scry one.
