What do you all think about "The Ring Tempts You" mechanic? (self.mtg)

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.

I think it should be something like this: As the ring tempts you, draw a card and you should choose a creature as ring bearer, else, lose 2 life; On the first turn the ring bearer has shroud and can't be blocked; the next turn the ring bearer still has those abilitties, but it takes -1/-1 , the next turn it has the ring -2/-2 and so on.

This way the player would have to try get as many "the ring tempts you" to draw cards and to choose another creature or lose that creature as the turns pass.

I like this a lot. Very on point with the lore too.
