Bilbo, Retired Burglar, triggers the Ring temptation mechanic upon entering or leaving the battlefield, which can be beneficial for decks that want to maximise Ring effects. Additionally, his ability to create Treasure tokens when he deals combat damage provides both mana ramp and resources for further plays. His low cost and synergy with Tempting the Ring mechanics make him suitable for blue-red strategies focusing on evasive creatures and resource generation. **As a Commander:** Bilbo's colour identity of Izzet (UR) allows for a focus on spell-slinging and resource manipulation, making him a viable choice for a Tempting the Ring deck. However, his 1/3 stats may limit his viability as a primary commander, as he may shine better in the 99 of a deck built around the Ring and Treasure synergies.
