So, in another thread, someone put up the Ring of the Phoenix, and I wondered where it came from, so enquired on Ring cards in the Oracle.

THERE ARE NINETEEN

• Obviously, there's Air, Earth, Fire, Void, Water.
• After that there are Dark versions of those 5, which are Shadowlands tainted Rings. Easier to get into play and with useful abilities but not actually enlightening.
• Then there's the Ring of the Phoenix, which appears to be an alternate Fire ring for Phoenix.
• The Ring of Flame is another alternate Fire, which I think is from an introductory set that didn't include duelling.
• Next is another whole set - the False rings, kind of like the Dark rings, but not tainted.
• The Hidden Heart of Iuchiban looks like it's a ring-equivalent for the Shadowlands, which doesn't do normal rings.
• And finally, the Akasha is the same for the new Naga.

Who'd have thought it?

Ring of Flame was a special ring for boxed War of Honor path of victory, becasue there could be hard to achieve standard requirements of original Celestial Edition Ring of Fire.

And Akasha exp. was incoming in Onyx.

Don't forget the various updates on the ring. Each edition updated the rings. The imperial rings a very different from their modern counterparts. Also Ring of Fire basically updated every edition because they never got it right... See the Ring of Flame mentioned above.

You've missed the One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne.

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie...

The False Rings were a semi-win condition when combined with the Fudo's Assurance.

The Akasha and Hidden Heart of Iuchiban were pseudo-rings for Enemy deck in the two "many vs 1" Siege sets.

Ring of Flame was a alternate Fire for the Celestial edition multiplayer War of Honor which excluded dueling from the Ring focused Dragon deck to make things easier.

Well, I wasn't really counting MRP, because there was no reasonable way to have more than one printing of the Ring in a deck.

Well plus Narya, Nenya, and Vilya. And the 9. The 7 Dwarf-rings, however many of them haven't been destroyed by Dragons yet.

I figured those were the 19! The three elven rings are Air, Water, and Fire, and so on and so forth.

I think you guys are looking for this image. That's 41 Rings if my math is right.

Man, I want the Laser Ring to be a thing now .

Don't forget the 5 Olympic rings.

Shh, they aren't Mana. That way also lies lawsuits. We must walk the razor edge of trademark infringement.
