Dude, don’t patronize me, the simple fact is that this ring is broken and no amount of explaining or testing can prove otherwise. |

I think that this card, although OP with  RB, really isn’t broken,
Yes it is a great combo with frodo, think of how this would help the  fighting ringbearer strategy, but the card is rather limited in scope.
It doesn’t really benefit ARBs since most other cultures don’t have great burden removal. |

Doesn’t the fact that it is overpowered with Ring Bearers make it broken? |

Lots of decks STILL use frodo, the fact is, regardless of why they designed The Great Ring this way, it cannot and will not change the fact that it is still, and will remain, broken. I find my self making redundant points over and over to try and prove my point, but if some of the members here can’t see the simple fact that it is broken, this is the last I will say on the matter.

| Also Home and Hearth with pippin, hobbit of some intelligence if there was a way to keep that going. I’m sure there is in expanded with some of the discarding hobbit stuff. |

Personally, I don’t find a card broken unless A: It creates a loop/combo, or B: I can easily be splashed into in any deck.
Now, this ALMOST fits into the second catagory, BUT, since it’s semi-useless with ARBs which are hugely popular, it’s NOT going into every deck.
Now, it’s fully possible that after seeing play, this may turn out to be OP, but until then, I don’t think it’s a problem. |

| I would never use this with any of the Alternate Ringbearers. And it’s powerful but nowhere near broken. |
