Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Versatile tutoring ability that works well in decks with legendary creatures.
  • Can fetch any card type as long as it shares a color with a legendary creature you control, providing excellent utility.
• Weaknesses:
  • Requires a legendary creature in play to function, limiting its utility in certain situations.
  • At 3 mana, it might be considered a little slow for some strategies.

Deck Utility:

• Legendary Matters Decks: Obviously, this card shines in a deck focused on legendary creatures, where it will almost always be active.

• Dimir Control or Midrange: Could fit into a control or midrange shell where you often have legendary creatures on board.

• Commander: In a singleton format like Commander, tutoring effects are usually very powerful, especially when they're as flexible as Ringsight.

Interactions and Combos:

• Thassa, Deep-Dwelling: If Thassa is in play, Ringsight can fetch any blue card from your deck.

• Narset, Parter of Veils: Being a legendary planeswalker, Narset enables Ringsight to fetch blue cards, and her ability also synergizes well with the card advantage Ringsight provides.

• Korvold, Fae-Cursed King: In a Jund-colored deck featuring Korvold, Ringsight could tutor for any black or red card.

Ringsight offers a flexible tutoring effect, but it does come with the requirement of controlling a legendary creature. In decks that can easily meet this condition, the card's utility is significant, allowing players to fetch key pieces or answers. Given its 3 mana cost, it's positioned to be impactful from the mid-game onwards.
