On reveal, Gandalf the Grey felt like an oddly colored card, lacking white mana to represent the character's fondness for peace, protection and benevolence, with Izzet colors representing reckless, creative innovation and experimentation
Granting yourself protection from everything is a huge reason to play the card, especially if you can bounce and recur it multiple times, but the ability to draw cards (even if the life loss mounts each time you do) pushes The One Ring up to one of the best Artifacts printed in Magic's history
This card has protection against the effects of your opponent's Pokemon EX
Beyond that, future sets will need to learn from Final Fantasy 's shortcomings
There's no telling where it may land, but this Energy is likely to maintain the top spot among its direct peers in Guardians Rising
