    Look, Aragon is described in the source material as of pale completion, dark hair with grey flecks, and green eyes. He is Dúnedain, descended from the numenorean (sp), which are also described as pale skinned, dark haired, and tall. To me, that suggests Tolkien wrote him white.

    But guess what: people can make whatever adaptions they want. He’s a fictitious character.

    If you don’t like it, just don’t consume it!

      Also, canonically Aragorn and the Numenoreans can’t grow beards, but no one is ever mad about that lol

      EDIT: Numenoreans can grow beards, but not the royal line, which is part elvish

        Thought it was that it took way longer for them to hit “beard age”

        Also the pictured Aragon has a beard to so that’s a moot point

      Maybe he’s just pale for a human, because all humans are black in LOTR. The elves are brown, and that’s pale from a human perspective.

      Yeah, they’re very much taking a dump on the source material there.

      Yeah, I think the art on Blaragorn’s card looks phenomenal. His dark complexion next to all the lighter colors around him creates a very nice visual.

            And they’re doing so through my commander’s art who leads my fictitious army where we pretend to be wizards.

    Blaragorn is a white card. They literally can’t be mad he is white according to MtG rules.

    The hobbits are going to Woke Mind Virus.

    Man just enjoy the interpretation. If not then just go away. Plenty of regular lotr stuff to be enjoyed.
