Description
The Scroll of Isildur is card number 69 from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering set, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This rare enchantment operates as a Saga, a distinct card type that unfolds its effects over several turns through the accumulation of lore counters. Introduced by artist Audrey Benjaminsen, the card features a blue mana cost of {2}{U} and serves as a strategic tool for players engaging with the rich lore of Middle-earth. As a Saga, the Scroll of Isildur enters the battlefield with its first chapter active and gains a new chapter at the start of each turn. The first chapter allows the controller to gain control of an artifact, introducing a temptation mechanic that reflects the corrupting influence of the Ring. The second chapter enables the tapping of opposing creatures with stun counters, disrupting opponent strategies. Finally, the third chapter rewards the player with card draw based on the number of tapped creatures their opponents control, providing a significant resource advantage. Collectors and players alike appreciate this card for its thematic integration of J.R.R. Tolkien's narrative into gameplay. Whether for competitive play or casual enjoyment, the Scroll of Isildur represents a key component of the set's magical ecosystem.
