Faramir, Field Commander

Description

Faramir, Field Commander (Card Number 14) is an Uncommon Legendary Creature — Human Soldier card from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set. This card brings the lore of Gondor into the strategic gameplay of Magic: The Gathering, offering a unique mechanical identity for players building decks around the Ring tempts mechanic. As a white mana card with a mana value of 4, Faramir provides a solid 3/3 body for the early to mid-game. The card’s primary ability triggers at the beginning of your end step: if a creature died under your control that turn, you draw a card. This creates a steady source of card advantage tied to combat and sacrifice strategies. The second ability activates whenever the Ring tempts you. If you choose a creature other than Faramir as your Ring-bearer, the card creates a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token. This synergy rewards players for managing the Ring tempts decision tree, allowing Faramir to contribute to board presence even when he is not the Ring-bearer. The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set captures the epic scope of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world, and Faramir represents the disciplined military aspect of Gondor. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards, this release offers a distinct blend of narrative fidelity and mechanical depth. The card is illustrated by Sidharth Chaturvedi, adding to the visual appeal of the set. Whether you are building a Commander deck focused on the Ring tempts theme or simply collecting iconic characters from Middle-earth, this card serves as a versatile and flavorful addition to any collection.
