Description
The Rise of the Witch-king (LTR #221) is a notable foil card from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering expansion, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. Designed by Andrea Piparo, this uncommon sorcery card bridges fantasy lore with strategic gameplay. The card costs {2}{B}{G} to cast and demands a significant tactical decision: each player sacrifices a creature of their choice. This effect allows you to potentially return a permanent card from your graveyard to the battlefield if you successfully sacrifice a creature. Collectors appreciate this card for its thematic relevance to the Nazgûl and its powerful board-sweeping capability. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic, making it a desirable addition to any Middle-earth-themed collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your lore-based collection, this card provides both narrative depth and mechanical utility.

Each player sacrifices a creature of their choice. If you sacrificed a creature this way, you may return another permanent card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.
