I think it’s pretty neat, at least from a commander perspective. Making non-legendary creatures into legendary creatures can add some cool synergies with cards like Ratadrabik of Urborg.

The opposite. As a LoTR themed set, they need to have the ring involved somehow.

“Tempts” is probably the wrong word. Maybe “You resonate with The Ring”, for example. Just choosing a random different word.

The problem I have with this is that the whole concept of the ring is that it’s fundamentally a corruptive force. Without the ring having some kind of outcome where you fall to its corruption, it’s not The One Ring, it’s just another gimmicky mechanic.

The One Ring should give you bonuses. That’s fine - its power is what tempts. But if the ring in the books worked like it does in the game, Frodo should have just power walked into Mordor, slam dunked the ring into Mount Doom, and moonwalked back to the shire, flipping Sauron the bird the whole way home.
