mtg lotr elf commander deck Galadriel of Lothorien THE RING TEMPTS YOU Magic Custom Comma – CommanderComplete King Théoden STL FILE ONLY | Galadriel

There are a couple of things going on here to make this card so valuable

Pestermite 1.3 (C cube) Power 1.2 Support 1.4 Three mana is a lot to pay for a 2/1 even if it does have flash and flying

While players have certainly found ways to make powerful decks - with some popular meta decks becoming mainstays in tournaments - the community generally finds ways to combat these and develop counter-strategies, without the need for any cards to be banned from play yet

Certainly the deck does make a lot of Food but translating that into a win is an uphill battle, at least, in an environment full of the other LotR decks

Adding this to a collection doesn't come cheap, as it is currently sitting around $168.50 on TCGPlayer
