Sméagol, Helpful Guide 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

    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.

  • Jun 16, 2023

    Sméagol, Helpful Guide doesn't need to have been on the battlefield when the creature died. For example, if a creature dies under your control during combat on your turn and you cast Sméagol, Helpful Guide during your second main phase, its first ability will trigger at the beginning of your end step.
