Galadriel, Elven-Queen is a unique legendary creature card that captures the essence of Galadriel, one of the most powerful and enigmatic Elves in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. This card has a "Will of the council" ability, which involves a voting process and reflects the influence and choices of the players.

Here's how the ability works:

• At the beginning of combat on your turn, if another Elf entered the battlefield under your control this turn, the voting process begins.

• Starting with you, each player (including you) votes for one of two options: dominion or guidance.

  • If "dominion" gets more votes, the Ring tempts you. This reflects the Ring's corrupting influence, and you put a +1/+1 counter on your Ring-bearer. This signifies that the Ring-bearer is being affected by the Ring's power.

  • If "guidance" gets more votes or the vote is tied, you draw a card. This represents the wisdom and guidance that Galadriel offers to those who seek her counsel.

This ability is not only flavorful but also interactive, as it involves all players in the game and their decisions can have different outcomes, reflecting the choices and consequences found in Tolkien's world.

The card's artwork by Axel Sauerwald beautifully portrays Galadriel, the Elven-Queen, in all her regal and mystical glory.
