Description

The Ring Tempts You shows the influence of the One Ring on those who possess it.

Being Tempted

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.

The Ring gains the following effects, in order:

• Your Ring-bearer is legendary and can't be blocked by creatures with greater power (invisibility granted by the ring).
• Whenever your Ring-bearer attacks, draw a card, then discard a card (desire to possess the ring).
• Whenever your Ring-bearer becomes blocked by a creature, that creature's controller sacrifices it at the end of combat (death of previous ring-bearers)
• Whenever your Ring-bearer deals combat damage to a player, each opponent loses 3 life (the lasting effects of the ring).

Rulings

• The Ring can tempt you even if you don't have a creature.
• The Ring Gains its abilities in order from top to bottom. Once it gains an ability, it has that ability for the rest of the game.
• Each time the Ring tempts you, you must choose a creature if you control one.
• Each player can have only one emblem named The Ring and only one Ring-bearer at a time.
