Description
Released in 2023 as part of the Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set, this Magic: The Gathering card identifies Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff as card number 781. As a legendary creature with the Halfling and Rogue subtypes, the card bridges the fantasy narrative of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth with strategic gameplay mechanics. Collectors appreciate this entry for its unique foil treatment and the character’s role within the broader lore of the Shire. Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff functions as a two-mana investment that generates resource acceleration through its triggered ability. When a player casts their second spell during a turn, the controller loses one life but creates a Treasure token, which can be sacrificed to produce mana of any color. This mechanic allows players to ramp their mana base quickly, making it a valuable asset in decks seeking early board presence. For fans of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card offers a tangible connection to the Lord of the Rings universe. The foil finish enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to collections focused on the Tales of Middle-earth expansion. Whether used in competitive play or kept as a piece of collectible memorabilia, this card represents a distinct moment in the intersection of tabletop gaming and literary fantasy.
