I don't think any of the rings are very good. Black is the best one, imo. Giving a small blocker regenerate while it's growing to an unkillable monster sounds nice.

I think the rings are cute. They are weak, but they're very fun. I remember when I first started playing, cards like this could eventually make a creature too big to do anything about and it would then wreak havoc. I can see them being relevant in multiplayer, especially the red ring (red sometimes has a dearth of long-term viable cards, depending on the format you're playing).
And I think their applications with multi-colored creatures are super cute, if you decide you want to "break the rings". I don't think they'll ever be awesome, but I think they look fun.

I think he's underestimating Ring of Xathrid , especially in limited. As far as I can tell there's not a single piece of removal in the set that can effectively stop an X/2+ regenerater. Murder , Day of Judgment , and Searing Spear all fail. Actually, I lied. Pacifism and Oblivion Ring can both deal with the creature, but the 1 mana to move thing means that it doesn't matter. I could see Ring of Xathrid on a Tormented Soul quickly becoming a serious problem for your opponent.

I only wish they had flavor text. Something cool could have been to use one sentence that mentioned all of them and split it up among the five. Scince Stf vanished, there don't seem to be any vorthoses anymore...

I think all 5 rings will wreak havoc on the lattest formats when equipped on the right creature. They empower creatures turn by turn, and give them combat-relevant abilities that can't (and will not) be ignored. They problably won't see much play but they are a huge advantage for little mana. I also have to agree with gruulsmash, they should have some flavor text.

Most importantly, it seems that an uncommon cycle of artifacts that are color specific means the end of the dumbest cycle ever.
Glad somebody mentioned this.
This is a fine article for Steve. They don't give him a card not relevant to limited, but they don't toss him a single uncommon, either. I still say he deserves more, but this is way more fair than the preview articles last time. Steve also doesn't make the mistake of talking about irrelevant limited formats (except for Righteous Blow , but I'll let that slide). So overall, really satisfied with this upgrade. Obviously it shows promise, there's actually responses to the thread this time!

Yes, but on the other hand, this year has brought back bloothirst, ninjutsu, cascade, exalted, colored artifact creatures, devour, and totem armor in one form or another, all before even touching on the return to Ravnica. I think it's safe to say that such a popular mechanic as proliferate won't be gone for long.
to bad that the block rotates out soon. That just sunk in, no... more... proliferate....[/quote]Yes, but on the other hand, this year has brought back bloothirst, ninjutsu, cascade, exalted, colored artifact creatures, devour, and totem armor in one

I was realy hoping to madness in m13 instead of exalted though....

Screw limited and thoes rings give us something cool for artifacts again instead of jank sideboard fodder rares like torpor orb or or something more failboat that my trade binder is chock full of.
LOL MTG lord of the rings edition, one(exalted) to rule them all(delver).

Heres the thing..The rings give +1 bonuses based on the creatures colors...now if maybe the next set (Return to Ravnica) had many multicolored creatures one could guess these rings could come in handy...hmm.. I hope there's enough Simic in the next set so i can equip them on blue/green things and mess with them like only the simic can.
