Lore

Why it matters

This card depicts a pivotal moment from *The Fellowship of the Ring* where Frodo is struck by the Witch-king of Angmar, an injury that leaves him physically and spiritually scarred. As a common enchantment in the *Tales of Middle-earth* set, it serves as a thematic representation of the lingering, corrupting influence of the Nazgûl on those they wound.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Morgul-Knife Wound was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. This set, developed by Wizards of the Coast under a licensing agreement, aimed to integrate the lore of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium into the mechanics of the collectible card game. The enchantment card depicts the lingering, debilitating injury inflicted upon Frodo Baggins by the Witch-king of Angmar, serving as a flavorful representation of the corruption caused by dark magic in Middle-earth.

Artist Axel Sauerwald illustrated the piece, focusing on the atmospheric and ominous nature of the Nazgûl’s weaponry. The design emphasizes the spectral, creeping decay associated with the Morgul-blade, utilizing a dark, shadowed color palette to contrast with the card's mechanical function of weakening a targeted creature. As a common rarity card, it was widely distributed across the set's products, gaining recognition among players for its thematic resonance and utility in Limited play formats.
