The Ring Goes South 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 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 Some spells and abilities that cause the Ring to tempt you may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Ring won't tempt you.
