Guiding You to the Shadows
Introducing Smeagol, Helpful Guide, a cunning addition to your Magic: The Gathering arsenal. This legendary Halfling Horror brings a unique twist to your gameplay, reminding players that even the most unexpected allies can offer guidance. With a mana cost of {1}{B}{B}, Smeagol’s potency lies in his ability to tempt and manipulate.
