{B}, Sacrifice a creature: Return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Activate only as a sorcery.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Gollum, Patient Plotter is a sneaky value engine that fits best in sacrifice-oriented midrange or grindy control shells, where repeated recursion matters more than raw combat stats. A 3/1 for two mana can apply early pressure, but the real strength is the loop: {B}, sacrifice a creature, then return Gollum to hand at sorcery speed. That means every redeploy can retrigger “The Ring tempts you” when he leaves the battlefield, turning chump blocks, removal, or your own sacrifice outlet into incremental advantage. In practice, he pairs well with token makers, disposable creatures, and cards that reward death triggers, since he turns spare bodies into recurring card flow and temptation triggers. He also likes discard outlets or self-mill setups that can put him in the graveyard early, making his buyback-style ability matter less. In lore terms, he feels perfectly slippery: hard to pin down, always slipping away, and constantly scheming from the margins.
