Strategy[edit]

The Binding Ring is probably the most obscure One Ring ever released. Unlike all other rings, it has the independent ability unrelated to the Ring-Bearer of playing Rings from your draw deck. This is useful in any deck that has a lot of rings, such as Dwarven, or rings that are required at a specific time, such as Narya (3R34) and Vilya (3R27) . As such, TBR is effective against several Shadow strategies, depending on which rings you play from deck.

In terms of its regular ability, the fact that it requires an exertion to equip is also unique, and quite dangerous, as an exhausted Ring-Bearer cannot use this ring to turn wounds into burdens. On the other hand, it has a good wound-to-burden ratio and gives extra strength and vitality.
