Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Slip On the Ring, newest first.
- 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.
- Once the exiled creature returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creatures will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creatures will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creatures will cease to exist.
- You can target a creature you own but don't control with Slip On the Ring.
- If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
- 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.
- 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 its abilities in order from top to bottom. Once it gains an ability, it has that ability for the rest of the game.
