In the Darkness Bind Them Rulings
5 most recent
- 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 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 a creature targeted by In the Darkness Bind Them's final chapter ability changes controllers before the ability resolves, that creature is no longer a legal target.
- Jun 16, 2023 If the creature you choose as your Ring-bearer was already your Ring-bearer, that still counts as choosing that creature as your Ring-bearer for the purpose of abilities that trigger "whenever you choose a creature as your Ring-bearer" or abilities that care about which creature was chosen as your Ring-bearer.
