Carte Magic Slip On the Ring

Slip On the Ring is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Exile target creature you own, then return it to the battlefield under your control. The Ring tempts you.

How it works : Slip On the Ring

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You can target a creature you own but don't control with Slip On the Ring.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    The Ring can tempt you even if you don't control a creature. In this case, abilities that trigger "whenever the Ring tempts you" will still trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If the creature you choose as your Ring-bearer was already your Ring-bearer, that still counts as choosing that creature as your Ring-bearer for the purpose of abilities that trigger "whenever you choose a creature as your Ring-bearer" or abilities that care about which creature was chosen as your Ring-bearer.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  9. #9· Wizards of the Coast

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

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  10. #10· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
