But isn't MH3 LoTR themed? Am I going to have to worry about a Bilbo Baggins dashing into me every other match?

nah that would be ridiculous.

I've imagined it as equipment too, since that seems most obvious/least creative. It'd be cool if it was more abstracted, though.

Without statting it out fully, thinking something like "equipped creature's power is doubled and gains menace" but the equip cost is paid in life and scalable based on the creature's power, and any player could activate the ability. That's probably unworkable, just trying to marry theme with mechanics.

The One Ring {2}

Artifact - Equipment
Equip(2)
Equipped creature is unblockable and gets +3 / +3

At the end of your turn, put a -1 / -1 counter on equipped creature.

If Equipped creature is legendary it gets:
WUBRG, T: gain control of target unequipped ring of power or equipped ring of power and equipped creatures.

If I had to pick effects I'd say unblockable and rig up some drawback where when things go wrong the opponent can gain control of the creature somehow.

The one ring {1}
Indestructible.
Equipped creature gets +5/+5 and has shadow and is a ringbearer in addition to its other types.

While an opponent is choosing targets as part of casting a spell they control or activating an ability they control, that player must choose at least one Ringbearer on the battlefield if able.

When the one ring leaves the battlefield, you lose the game.
Equip 3

E: Fires of mt doom 2{R}{B}
Choose one or both
-fired of mt doom deals five damage to target creature or Planeswalker, if a creature or Planeswalker delt damage thus way would die this turn, exile it instead
-Exile target artifact.

The One Ring has the problem that, like Yawgmoth, you want the power level to be extremely high but don't want the mana cost to make it unplayable. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is a fantastic card because she's supposed to be incredibly powerful and she is, but some legendary characters have become rather unimpressive cards.

Might be fun to troll a Legacy event with a deck full of these crossover cards.

Edit: Seems they're not legal in Legacy yet, but will be soon. "I'll play Golf Sucks Now And Has Always Sucked", and I'll tap it to cast Hadoken targeting you."

Also, these minimalist Secret Lair checklands are gorgeous, holy poo poo.

Make the one Ring an Enchantment and if the creature dies it is attached to a creature owned by the person who killed the creature it was originally attached to.

this is a bit of an obscure request, but does anyone remember the ancient Inquest issue with the story of the inquest editors playing a game of magic using every single card ever made in each deck and have scans of it

I used to have a ton of inquest issues but lost them, might have been recycled decades ago, but I keep occasionally remembering that story and then forgetting it again before I remember to ask about someone maybe posting scans of it, since it was a funny article

Wasn't this the game that was ended by a camel?

The way they've throwing around unblockable in the past few years as well as the reintroduction of phasing makes me think that Shadow is never coming back, which is unfortunate because I loving love that mechanic narrow as it is.

How would you template a creature to use phasing as quasi Shadow? "when this creature attacks, it phases out. while phased out it can only be blocked by creatures with phasing. It phases in after blockers are declared" or something like that?

Yep. A Camel that was in his opening hand along with six lands that produced every color of mana except white. Presumably he kept that hand because it was better than taking a mulligan and having to reshuffle his whole deck.

Why would you do this? Maybe in an un-set it could happen but at that point you don't have to word anything since un-cards don't really work, you just pretend they do.

I'd probably just give it shadow, or horsemanship. Rather than do this, which i think doesnt even work without changing the rules of phasing iirc

He wrote a song for Twitter about getting to Mythic where he shouts out some absolutely insane cards that were in his deck, but I can't find it right now. He has an album called In League with Dragons which is apparently inspired by fantasy role playing games, and the last four lines of The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton are a reference to people who play Thoughtseize decks.

One of Explorer's primary goals is fidelity to the Pioneer experience, so we intend to maintain this ban for only as long as it proves necessary. When additional cards are introduced to the format, they will naturally change Winota's relative standing. As such, we currently plan to unban Winota and reevaluate her position shortly after the release of Dominaria United this fall.
