General Strategy

The One Ring, SaWtC is a reasonably popular and versatile One Ring. It doesn't give any extra vitality, unlike ATAR and Isildur's Bane, but it does provide a built-in 2 extra strength, which is usually the most important requirement for a ring-bearer (Particularly Frodo). It can be equipped in the maneuver phase, which takes some forward-thinking, but the advantage of this is that you can take archery wounds as burdens (Which is not the case with ATAR). It also doesn't need to be put on that often, since its strength bonus applies all the time. Note that it is still not as versatile as Isildur's Bane, which can always be put on in response to a wound; SaWtC is vulnerable to Regroup wounds and pre-maneuver wounds.

This One Ring is specially strong when used by Bilbo Bearer of Things Burgled, in addition to Consorting With Wizards (and Pippin Friend to Frodo to protect that card). That way Bilbo can only take wounds during the archery phase, which erases the risk of Regroup, Skirmish and pre-!Maneuver wounding.
