## Description

Released in 2023 as part of Magic: The Gathering's crossover with The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, Gothmog, Morgul Lieutenant (card number 429) brings a formidable presence to the Black mana color identity. This Legendary Creature — Human Soldier is designed for players who enjoy aggressive strategies, specifically those focusing on creating and empowering Orc Army tokens. Upon entering the battlefield, the card allows you to amass Orcs by placing +1/+1 counters on your armies, establishing immediate board control. Additionally, all creature tokens you control gain deathtouch, a crucial ability that ensures any damage dealt to opposing creatures is lethal. For collectors of the LTR set, this uncommon foil variant offers a distinct aesthetic finish that stands out among standard prints. The card serves as a functional piece for deck builders seeking to enhance their orc synergies while also acting as a recognizable character piece for fans of the Middle-earth universe.
