Mirror of Galadriel, designated as card number 695, is a Legendary Artifact from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering expansion, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This card brings the mystical depth of Middle-earth into the strategic gameplay of the trading card game, offering collectors and players a tangible piece of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legacy. Printed by Kasia 'Kafis' Zielińska, the card carries the LTR set code and is classified as Uncommon, making it a sought-after addition for those building themed collections. As a Legendary Artifact with a mana cost of {2}, Mirror of Galadriel provides a powerful strategic advantage through its activated ability.

The flavor text, "Your Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while all the Company is true," captures the high stakes of the Fellowship’s journey. This narrative element adds depth to the card, connecting the mechanical advantage to the story of the Ring-bearers. For collectors, Mirror of Galadriel represents a key component of the Tales of Middle-earth set, appealing to fans of both Magic: The Gathering and the literary classic. Its unique interaction with legendary creatures makes it a distinctive artifact in any collection. Whether you are looking to complete a set or expand your library with thematic artifacts, Mirror of Galadriel stands out for its blend of strategic utility and narrative resonance.
