Gameplay

Sorcery

Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. The Ring tempts you.

"By all the signs, there's a large warrior loose, with an Elf-sword, and an axe as well maybe." Gorbag spat. Sam smiled grimly at this description of himself.

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.

2023-06-16wotc

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.

Each time the Ring tempts you, you must choose a creature if you control one.
