Sméagol, Helpful Guide Rulings
- Jun 16, 2023

- 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 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.
