'''The Ruling Ring''' is the most basic form of The One Ring and has been re-released in every block since the game's inception. Unlike its counterpart in [[Fellowship Block]], {{Card\|Isildur's Bane}}, The Ruling Ring can only be used to absorb wounds during the [[Skirmish]] phase, which leaves the [[Ring-bearer]] very vulnerable to Archery and Regroup wounding, as well as Maneuver and site wounding later on.

			Its main advantage is that it converts wounds to burdens at a lower cost of only 1 burden per wound; this beats all other versions of the One Ring except {{Card\|The Great Ring}} and {{Card\|The Ring of Rings}}. However it does so with the inflexibility of only converting burdens during the Skirmish phase, meaning that wounds from [[Maneuver]], [[Archery]] and [[Regroup]] actions go unchecked.

			The main utility of this One Ring is to act as the [[Common]]-rarity baseline against which all other Rings are judged. As it is included in all [[Starter Deck]]s, it also acts as the default option in most [[Sealed]] contexts. In almost all cases where you can do so, you are probably justified using a stronger Ring.

			The one exception is in [[Fellowship Block]] against a Nazgul-heavy [[Corruption]] meta, in which case the raw number of burdens is more important than the vitality and flexibility of {{Card\|Isildur's Bane}}, especially against {{Card\|The Witch-king, Lord of the Nazgul}}.
