GOT TO PICK UP THE PACE oh hey, this card rules, this card is one of the best cards ever for sticking cheap modifications on
Now, I am going to put up my hands, and admit that I initially did not think The One Ring will be such a powerful card
The saving grace for all these cards is that they can always be cast for 1 mana to secure your next land drop, making them great early on without being embarrassing later
If you cast it regularly its a slightly pricey way of making a copy of a target creature, but kicking it to make five copies instead for nine mana is incredibly explosive
