General Strategy
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings is one of the most popular rings in Expanded format, along with The Great Ring. It's also usable in the earlier post-movie formats, being from set 11, and is often the best One Ring for Alternate Ring-bearers.
This Ring could be described as the safest One Ring to use; it turns every wound into a single burden, can be triggered at any time, and provides extra resistance for the ring-bearer. Its only shortcoming is the lack of any other beneficial stats or ability. Ring-bearers that benefit a lot from this ring need the extra resistance for their abilities, such as Gandalf, Bearer of Obligation; Boromir, Bearer of Council and possibly Smeagol, Bearer of Great Secrets as he often adds burdens to trigger his effects. However, most alternate Ring-bearers can safely fall back on this ring, with the exception of ring-bearers that desperately need the strength and vitality bonuses of other rings, such as possibly Sam, Bearer of Great Need; Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled; and Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom.
