Oracle Text

At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, the Ring tempts you.

Whenever the Ring tempts you, target opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card. Put that card onto the battlefield tapped under your control and the rest into their graveyard.

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.

Sméagol, Helpful Guide's first ability will trigger only once during your end step, no matter how many creatures died under your control this turn. However, if no creatures have died under your control so far this turn as your end step begins, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause a creature to die under your control during the end step in time to have the ability trigger.

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