About Elrond, Moon-Reader
Elrond, Moon-Reader, Legendary creature — elf noble, designed by Christina Kraus first released in July 2026 in the set The Hobbit and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 2.77.
Elrond, Moon-Reader would fit best in a blue-based creature-ability or “tap/untap value” deck—especially Commander decks built around creatures with activated abilities such as mana dorks, utility creatures, creatures with tap abilities, or repeatable outlets—because he turns one creature activation each turn into a card draw, while his expensive blink ability can protect key permanents from removal or reuse enter-the-battlefield effects. However, at three mana for only one conditional draw per turn and a seven-mana blink activation, he is likely too slow for competitive formats and would mainly be a casual Commander inclusion, preferably in a deck that can reliably activate a creature ability on every player’s turn. Better card-draw engines often include **The One Ring**, **Rhystic Study**, **Mystic Remora**, **Faerie Mastermind**, or creature-focused options like **Beast Whisperer** and **Guardian Project** in green; for blinking, **Thassa, Deep-Dwelling**, **Teleportation Circle**,
Rules
06/29/2026
After each permanent returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the permanent that was exiled. It won't be in combat or have any additional abilities it may have had when it was exiled. Any counters on it cease to exist; Auras attached to it are put into their owner's graveyards; and any Equipment will become unattached.
06/29/2026
An activated ability of a creature that's also a mana ability (such as "{T}: Add {G}") can cause Elrond's first ability to trigger.
06/29/2026
If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and will not return to the battlefield.
