For instance, does this guy get discarded when a freeps player reconciles, along with the minion that bears him? That underpowers it way too much, since it’s a one use thing.
I believe that followers (of any sort) return to the support area when the Freeps reconciles.
I remember on Decipher forum when people may put proposition for cards what later had to be included in Rise of Saruman i proposed shadow followe called Crow of Dunland...and they erased my card saying it not fit into game...and now...look first shadow follower...
I think this Saruman is overpowered and wait for putting him on X-List.
ps. sorry for long inactivity i had car accident and was heavy injured...i hope now i can be with you more often..
Time in the universe may be eternal..our patience is not
