Back in March, Magic: The Gathering players got their first look at cards from the upcoming The Lord Of The Rings: Tales Of Middle-Earth expansion. Along with familiar faces like Frodo, Gandalf, and more, some of the cards revealed featured a phrase alluding to a new and unique mechanic: "The Ring Tempts You."
With Magic-Con Minneapolis beginning today, we have the exclusive reveal of this new mechanic, as well as two brand-new card reveals centered around the mechanic and how it can provide even more benefits outside of its core uses.
The Ring emblem, the focus of the mechanic.
How The Ring Tempts You
One thing to note, before we begin, is that this is not pertaining the card called "The One Ring." That's a standalone Legendary Artifact card with its own abilities--and an one-of-a-kind serialized version coming out with the set. This mechanic revolves around an emblem that boosts a creature's abilities, and it is triggered with specific card text.
