You mean The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles?
Generally, ATAR is probably better, but IB isn’t useless in comparison. IB gives a strength boost even when not wearing the Ring, whereas ATAR requires it be worn to give the boost.
Also, ATAR requires you to add a burden to wear it, whereas IB does not.
IB also allows you to wear it ANY time the RB is about to take a wound, whereas ATAR makes you wait until the skirmish phase. That could be good or bad, depending on your strategy.
So, like I said, The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles is probably better most of the time, but The One Ring, Isildur’s Bane can be better in certain decks. |

| I dont think so, a burden to either get a plus 3 bonus or negate an opponents strength bonus. Could prevent an overwhelm but there are better cards for that. |

Anyone playing in TTT block format.  The Ring of Doom is almost a necessity in metas that don’t involve minion archery. |
In his eyes was the look of a hunted beast seeking some gap in the ring of his enemies.  |

| the ring of doom is OK, but against someone with a small hunters bonus not really worth it. |

I dont use the ring of doom for the simple reason it gets you a burden. I use any ring where you gets its bonus without putting it on. Try facing an  lurker deck with enemy upon enemy where you generate burdens. Ick. ATAR SaWtC and RoR are the way forward depending upon your RB. |
