Game breaking exploit combination between Mycosynth Gardens and The One Ring causing PERMANENT INVULNERABILITY.
I am aware that this idea is COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF and OUTRAGEOUS. However I am about to share with you the humble opinion of a dude who has been playing MTG since Shrines of Kamigawa.
There should be NO card combos in the ranked scene of any card game that GUARANTEE PERMANENT INVULNERABILITY TO DAMAGE. This to my knowledge is unheard of, I have heard of every kind of 2 turn win/4 turn win/infinite combo deck. I understand that sometimes you just have to concede.
But at a certain point, even the staunchest defenders of Wizards of the Coast cannot argue that certain combos and cards are acceptable in a ranked environment. A ranked environment needs to be indicative of skill levels to be worth anything. I understand that you can just pick up someones decklist and win with decent consistency. But I have never seen a combination in a ranked game before today that was so egregiously anti-fun. It effectively makes it a game for one person to toy with the other. It is the same as going into ranked lobbies and griefing in any other game.
You can call this a me problem, but if this hits the meta in a big way, we will ALL feel the anger. This is a petition, please put these cards on the ranked ban list or at least put a restriction on the usage of legendary artifacts being copied into non legendary tokens for infinite invulnerability.
As a LOTR fan as well, I understand that you had to add SOME crazy power to the One Ring. But even the dullest LOTR fans at your company must understand that nobody was invulnerable due to the Ring. Isildur died with it, Gollum lived longer with it but a sword would still do the trick, Sauron's soul was kept alive by it's existence but it NEVER stopped Isildur from lobbing his finger off with it. Cool set, awesome arts, fun gimmicks. But the One Ring doesnt make you God. Change this ****.

@rezzahan you are correct. note that I did in fact say I would not include the full 5 card combo. It would do the opposite of what I want to do. However, there is IN FACT, a way to use this for infinite invulnerability. I hope you do not run into it, but I am not going to be the guy to tell these clowns how to make the game more unbearable.

Nothing here makes the player invulnerable. In fact, copying the Ring does nothing, since it has to be cast to get the protection ETB trigger. They can get a lot of cards and can lose a lot of life, but protection from Everything for every turn this does not grant.
