Call of the Ring Rulings

  • Jun 16, 2023

    As the Ring tempts you, you get an emblem named The Ring if you don't have one. Then your emblem gains its next ability and you choose a creature you control to become (or remain) your Ring-bearer.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    Call of the Ring's last ability will trigger any time you choose a creature as your Ring-bearer, even if that creature was already your Ring-bearer.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    Each player can have only one emblem named The Ring and only one Ring-bearer at a time.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    Each time the Ring tempts you, you must choose a creature if you control one.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    If the Ring tempts you but you can't choose a creature as your Ring-bearer (probably because you control no creatures), Call of the Ring's last ability won't trigger.
