| '''Ring''' is an [[Item Class]], and thus a [[Loaded Keyword]]. All of the rings in this game are [[Artifact]]s of a previous age. Characters may only bear one '''ring''' at a time.

|
| [[The One Ring]], despite its name, is a special card type and is not considered a ring. Cards that affect rings in general do not affect the One Ring, and the [[Ring-bearer]] may also bear a '''ring''' artifact.
| | '''Ring''' is an item classes for Artifacts and should not confused with The One Ring. |
| | Though Rings are played and used much like possessions, they are a different card type. Rings are not affected by cards that affect possessions. |

| Rings were first introduced in [[Realms of the Elf-Lords]], where they were as useful for their +1 [[vitality]] for [[Elrond]], [[Galadriel]], or [[Gandalf]] as for their [[Game Text|game text]]. {{Card|Ring of Barahir}}, in [[Ents of Fangorn]], sees some occasional play as a healing tool in decks the use [[Culture Tokens]] and [[Aragorn]], especially decks using {{Card|Aragorn, Defender of Free Peoples}} or {{Card|Noble Leaders}}, or '''[[Knight]]''' decks using {{Card|Garrison of Osgiliath}}. | | ''Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, |
| | Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, |
| | Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, |
| | One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne |
| | In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. |
| | One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, |
| | One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them |
| | In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." |
| | '' |

| The bulk of the rings were released in [[Reflections]], and almost all of them are popular staples. {{C|Dwarven}} decks always liked stacking many cards on relatively few [[companion]]s, and both rings and {{Card|Durin III, Dwarven Lord}} are suited to that strategy. {{Card|Gimli, Bearer of Grudges}} appreciates '''[[Damage]]''' bonuses, especially from {{Card|Ring of Fury}}. {{Card|Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom}} benefits from spotting {{C|Elven}} artifacts. Both she and [[Mount Doom]]'s {{Card|Galadriel, Lady Redeemed}} are both ubiquitous in formats where they're available, making either version of Nenya much easier to play. The {{C|Wraith}} rings (except for {{Card|Ring of Ire}}, which is too often a [[dead draw]]) are all popular as cheap ways to [[recur]] [[Nazgul]]. Reflections also introduced {{Card|The One Ring, The Binding Ring}}, which can [[download]] [[Free Peoples]] rings, albeit at a high cost.

| Rings didn't appear again until [[Rise of Saruman]]. The three rings from that set are all similar to previous ones from Reflections. {{Card|Ring of Artifice}} can become very strong in {{C|Dwarven}} self-[[mill]] decks or decks with multiple copies of the other {{C|Dwarven}} rings. {{Card|Ring of Savagery}} and {{Card|Ring of Terror}} serve largely the same role as the previous {{C|Wraith}} rings.

| | |
| The only card that affect rings in particular is {{Card|The One Ring, The Binding Ring}}.
