Peregrin Took

Description

The 2023 release of Magic: The Gathering: The Lord of the Rings — Tales of Middle-earth introduced collectors to a rich array of legendary creatures, including the highly playable Peregrin Took. Identified by card number 807 in the LTR set, this uncommon foil card captures the essence of the beloved Hobbit character within the strategic framework of the trading card game. Designed by artist Anato Finnstark, the card serves as a key addition for fans of the Tolkien universe who also appreciate intricate gameplay mechanics. Peregrin Took is classified as a Legendary Creature — Halfling Citizen with a mana cost of two generic mana and one green mana. His abilities revolve around resource generation and card advantage, making him a versatile piece for green-based decks. The card’s primary effect triggers when tokens are created under the player’s control, causing those tokens plus an additional Food artifact token to be generated. This Food token can be sacrificed to gain life, providing a steady stream of life total management. Furthermore, the card offers a powerful late-game payoff. By sacrificing three Food tokens, the controller can draw a card, turning accumulated resources into immediate card advantage. This mechanic encourages players to build boards filled with token creators, synergizing well with other cards in the Lord of the Rings theme. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing it from the non-foil versions while maintaining the set’s cohesive aesthetic. Whether building a thematic Lord of the Rings deck or completing the LTR set, this card offers both mechanical depth and collectible value.
