One ring has been a problem since its release

[@Bounce-M4N]

Thanks nicol bolas

[@thesamuraiman]

Even before, really. As soon as we saw its ability.

[@greatbrandini3967]

I'm still waiting for it to get restricted to 1 of's, which it should've been printed as

[@tReNhEx100]

The one rings problem originated in design. Had the burden counters been placed on player and not on the one ring itself it wouldn't matter if you played a new copy as you wouldn't reset those counters which would make it a much more dangerous card to utilize.. because after 3 activations moving into the 4th you're looking at 6 life lost, add in a few fetch/shocks you're dangerously close to dead. I dunno that's my take anyways.

[@CFC6788-gs2rl]

Or if the card had a line of text on it saying it could only be played as one of in every deck would fix the rest problem and would be flavorful

[@Nexuxs]

Thats a pretty good solution

[@danthewafflelord3059]

​@CFC6788-gs2rl pokemon has interesting design choices in that regard. They have card types which you can only play one of per turn and other card types that there can only be 1-2 copies of in your deck (or even just 1-2 total)

[@deocharismostrales4142]

​@@CFC6788-gs2rloooh, yeah, i am not opposed to the player getting the counters idea but i love that this is also lore appropriate. It is the *One* ring after all

[@tReNhEx100]

@@CFC6788-gs2rl unfortunately though that would break the mechanics or the overall rules of constructed MTG .. where it says a card can have a max of 4 copies unless explicitly printed on the card, yes they could errata the card but then you would have hundreds of thousands of cards out there without the new rules of ONLY ONE. but yes I do totally agree with you. That's how it should've been printed. But then people would only want 1 copy and that's not good for wizards bottom line where they want everyone buying 4 of's.

[@skykur]

I think the one ring should have given the player itself the burden counters. Once you get corrupted by the ring, that never goes away.

[@TheBlackrider85]

That would've made it a terrible card, though. Is there no happy medium?

[@skykur]

@@TheBlackrider85 a colorless card shouldn’t be the strongest card in the format. Almost every deck playing it, kind of a problem

How would it make it a terrible card? You still get protection from everything and get to draw a metric ton of cards.

[@Starkipraggy]

@@TheBlackrider85 it keeps to the flavour of it as a risk you take when you use it. at the very least it would make drawing with the ring an actually meaningful decision since you can play it for the protection then choose not to draw cards with it.

wanna talk about regret. I saw Smothering Tithe during RNA spoliers and was like wow what a great commander card. Saw it was $2 on release but thought. I'll wait till it rotates out of standard only needed 8 but didn't want to spend $16 for them. It hurt the most when I saw they were selling for 50+ for a single copy... oh well.

Resetting burden counters is a failure in design. If a new ring is placed it should enter tapped whit the original burden counters on it.

[@FlawlessP401]

Players should have gotten the burden counter instead of the one ring

[@nickcarballo6039]

​@@FlawlessP401Literally fixes the problem. Flavor wise it makes sense as one person having the ring leads to their descent. Hence it's "burden" but apparently wizards thinks taking it off and on again fixes it's drawbacks.

[@josephhaas6373]

The One Ring should be limited to 1 per deck, both for better game play and for Flavor

[@Griever49]

I think that one is worst because drawing a one of at random that just wins you the duel would make it feel even worse if you lose to someone that just draws it by chance, it would also create an environment where people who win with it are told they won by pure chance

[@ullrich]

@@Griever49 You're always drawing it due to chance, even with 4. Yes, it's a higher chance, but people run single copies of cards, especially side board cards, in plenty of decks. Sometimes, you win because you get lucky and draw it. Look at that one famous match where Team USA was defeated by Team Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) because they top decked that Miracle card, Bonfire of the Damned. Sure, that felt bad, but at its core, the game is literally about probability and chance.

[@zachgray4767]

Restricting cards doesn't work. That's why they literally never do it outside of Vintage, and that's only because cards aren't banned in Vintage unless they're blatant design mistakes, like companions.

No worries, Wizards will ban The One Ring once they sell through the rest of their Lord of the Rings print run. We all know they care more about the sealed sales than the integrity of multiple formats.

[@SergioGarsiaSolano]

Wrong

[@JT-91]

Absolutely 💯 correct. Bow masters likely gets banned in legacy too after the print run

[@jeremysmith4620]

@@SergioGarsiaSolano What a well phrased argument with so much backing evidence. This has been Wizard's method since near the beginning of the Hasbro acquisition. There is a preponderance of evidence for Wizards being extremely slow to act while there is still product sitting in warehouses, distributors, or all print runs have not been completed or sold through. It doesn't take a genius to know why this is the case. Hasbro would be torn to pieces by investors if they banned the highest value cards before most of the sealed product holding those cards were sold through. It is literally a conflict of interest with investors and completely ignores the fiduciary responsibility to those very investors. Banning extremely high value cards destroys the EV of sealed boxes. In the case of Lord of the Rings, the top two cards in value, The One Ring and Orcish Bowmasters together are worth as much combined as the next roughly 30 highest value cards, and that's counting each version of Nazgul separately, if not it would appear even worse. The sealed value would immediately tank in an astronomical way. This would cause Wizards/Hasbro astronomical losses if they are still printing or selling through product, as all sales would immediately stop. This also financially wrecks Hasbro's business partners down their supply chain, namely LCS locations, but more importantly distributors. It would be a race to the bottom between them while Wizards/Hasbro is forced to dump the remaining product on Amazon steeply discounted and forsaking insane amounts of profit just per box. If you think contrary to this, you just don't understand how any of this works and that's ok. Plenty of people comment on things they know nothing about, your comment is evidence of that, which is also ok, because we all aren't well informed on all topics. The main issue here is knowing and recognizing that lack of knowledge on a topic. I don't refute cancer research or discoveries in microbiology because I don't have ample experience in that space. I may want to ask questions about said topics, and that's a great thing. That is how we learn. The main things I wouldn't do is refute a claim with one word, not back up my claim/stance, or offer nothing to the conversation overall. Now just reply with "wrong" again and we can go on with our days.

[@jeremysmith4620]

@@JT-91 Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! The other reply I just posted, to the one word bandit earlier that just said "wrong" and wandered back off to the internet at large, I calculated the values of the top cards and compared. The ring and bowmasters together are worth more than the next over 30 highest value cards. There is simply no way they they ban either while product is still on shelves. I also do believe Wizards/Hasbro has said they are going to print this set into oblivion until the license runs out and that simply must be maintained through high value cards to boost the EV. If what I have read/heard is true, the licensing cost for Lord of the Rings was insanely expensive, hence why Wizards/Hasbro had to crazy marketing like the 1/1 Ring hypefest. I'm sure they have recouped that cost by now due to the overwhelmingly massive sales of the product, that doesn't mean Wizards would give up millions upon millions of dollars still possibly on the table from their largest outlaying of cash in the companies history. If there is still product in a Wizard's warehouse or print time already payed for the next phase of stock and there was a ban of this nature investors would literally show up at Hasbro headquarters with real pitchforks, and by real pitchforks I mean something far, far worse. Lawyers. Lots and lots of lawyers. So, so many lawyers.

[@autofigure00]

When karlov manor released I was dumbfounded by how cheap the surveil lands were. I wasn't really back into playing magic again so I didn't end up buying them (classic fill a tcgplayer cart then decide I don't need the cards / haven't been playing much), but now I'm playing more again and definitely wish I would've gotten more of them.

[@Gwinnmusic]

The issue is coming from this being a Universes Beyond set, which really showcases how problematic the design space of such sets is. They literally gonna milk out the standard licensing deal they made, which is 2 years, so there is a very high chance that no bans or changes will be made until June, 2025 due to that. So yeah, stick to those Orcish Bowmasters and The One Rings for a bit longer.

The best way to deal with the one ring is to Restrict it. What's more flavorful than having only 1 The One Ring?

[@chromark7552]

Could you imagine if we banned every single cards based off play rate? I get the ring is powerful but it's not the cornerstone of the problem in modern. Nadu is playing it as a way to fight control, eldrazi/tron was an actual joke before it was printed, control uses it to stay relevant in an ever faster field. And literally no other relevant decks plays it. Banning the ring for nadus sin would make very little sense, nerfing tron and control wouldn't make sense either. The card is pricey, but they didn't ban goyf when it was around 200$ and in the best deck lol

[@Psychonautical89]

I wish they just had a 1-of list for Modern like they do in eternal formats. You could even bring back a lot of banned stuff by limiting it to a single copy, and if anything, The ONE Ring seems like the prime candidate for such a thing. You still have some strong tutor options but that adds a whole other layer of steps, cost, and potential for sabotage. Modern needs a 1-of list, BAD.

[@kylecabrera142]

Naw i think well see a slight dip in the one ring but it's price is kinda gonna be evergreen since it'll be a commander / legacy staple. If it gets banned in modern i think we might see a dip to like 50. I doubt we'll get back tonthe 25 - 35 again.

[@alexanderolson4990]

Frankly, i dont think the one ring needs a ban in any format, i think it needs an errata to add 1 line of text. "You may only have one vard named 'the one ring' in your deck." Doesnt bother singleton formats at all, makes it so instead of being a 4 of in all decks its more likely a 1 of or a sideboard piece. Doesnt make the money some people spent on it a waste as it likely wont cause it to drop in price by much. Then again, i also know wotc isnt big on eratas and since we'll likely never get a reprint that makes it even harder to erata but we shall see.

[@ToxicSentinelTTV]

Even with that bundle version being a bit cheaper, the card is still one of the most expensive modern cards excluding some of the more rare variants of cards that have cheaper base versions.

One ring just now becoming a problem? Nah, it's always been a problem

[@KBergs]

The One Ring should be restricted to one

[@jo4ogameplays]

One ring is the most obnoxious card I have seen being played since I started playing mtg in 2013. Never should've been printed

[@posisteve]

$$$$ can't ban the ring it'd lose reprint equity

[@JMSginoclave]

Card's a huge colorless colorpie break and broken af. No damn wonder.

[@Lornext]

People talk about Nadu ban... This shit should have been banned a while back already

[@SpitefulAZ]

I thought Nadu was a problem too?

[@gzzuss]

It should be restricted 😂😂😂 just a flavor win IMO😅

[@Gatewatch_007]

Hot take, one ring is fine

[@DonJuanDecepticon]
