Here is my question.
Are Rings strategy cards.
Strategy cards are cards you play from your hand and then discard. A strategy usually has one or more abilities.
Rings by the last sentence says. You can also discard them from your hand for a one-shot effect.
For example. Can i play Ring of Earth, then Ring of Air, Void and then String of Victories. Pick up Void and play Void by its own text? All Rings played from hand. One-shot effects.
Thanks

The Elemental Rings are not Strategy cards. They are Ring cards.
In your example, you have only played one Strategy (String of Victories) towards putting Ring of the Void in to play by its own text.
