Each player can have only one emblem named The Ring and only one Ring-bearer at a time.

6/16/2023·wotc

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.

6/16/2023·wotc

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.
