Description
The Shelob, Child of Ungoliant foil card from Magic: The Gathering's 2023 Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set is a striking addition for fantasy enthusiasts and competitive players alike. Identified as card number 785 in the LTR expansion, this Legendary Creature — Spider Demon commands attention with its bold red and black foil treatment. Designed by Lorenzo Mastroianni, the card captures the essence of Tolkien's terrifying arachnid, making it a centerpiece for themed collections. In gameplay, Shelob serves as a formidable presence on the battlefield. With a mana value of six and colors of black and green, this 8/8 powerhouse brings both power and utility to any deck. The card features deathtouch and ward {2}, ensuring it can eliminate threats while protecting itself from removal spells. Additionally, other Spiders you control gain these same abilities, allowing for synergistic strategies that overwhelm opponents. A unique ability triggers whenever another creature dealt damage by your Spider dies, creating a Food artifact token that provides life gain. This mechanic encourages aggressive play and resource management, rewarding players who build around the Spider tribal archetype. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes this card within the set. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your Lord of the Rings collection, this card offers both strategic depth and aesthetic value.
