This Magic: The Gathering card, Palantír of Orthanc, holds the distinguished number 749 within the 2023 The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth expansion. As a Mythic Rare legendary artifact, it serves as a pivotal piece for collectors seeking depth in this thematic set. The card features a premium foil treatment that enhances its visual appeal, making it a standout addition to any organized play or collection archive. In gameplay, Palantír of Orthanc functions as a powerful engine for influence. At the beginning of your end step, you place an influence counter on this legendary artifact and scry 2. This effect allows you to look at the top cards of your library and arrange them as you wish, providing strategic foresight. The card’s secondary ability introduces a risk-reward dynamic: you may target an opponent, offering them the choice to let you draw a card. If they decline, you mill a number of cards equal to the influence counters on Palantír of Orthanc, and that opponent loses life equal to the total mana value of those cards. Designed by Marlene Yui, this card captures the essence of the Middle-earth narrative through its mechanical depth. The combination of card advantage, life loss, and milling makes it a versatile tool for various deck archetypes. Collectors value this Mythic Rare not only for its gameplay utility but also for its representation of the rich lore embedded in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set of foil cards, Palantír of Orthanc offers both aesthetic and functional merit for dedicated Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts.
