Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Gollum, Riddle Master is a compact, menacing value engine that fits best in tempo or attrition-based black decks, where every opposing spell can become a small dilemma for the table. Choosing odd or even lets you tailor the trigger to the most common mana values in your meta, so this card rewards careful deck construction and table reading rather than raw aggression alone. In play, Gollum can snowball quickly: a 3/1 body for two mana already pressures life totals, and the first few triggers let you grow it, drain the table, or refill your hand depending on what your deck needs. It pairs especially well with cheap disruption, since forcing opponents to cast on your terms makes its ability fire more often, and with sacrifice or recursion shells that appreciate incidental life gain and card draw. The lore feel is spot-on too: sly, obsessive, and always turning another’s action into his advantage.
