Saruman's Power (1U136) Wiki

General Strategy

The Shadow version of Sleep, Caradhras, Saruman's Power is the most powerful tool for condition removal available to Shadow players. For the cost of 2 and the exertion of an Isengard minion, Saruman's Power discards every active condition, including the Shadow player's own Shadow conditions as well as the Free Peoples player's Free Peoples conditions. With the double-edged effect of discarding the Shadow player's own Shadow conditions, playing this card in condition-heavy Shadow is not ideal. That said, Isengard condition Saruman's Ambition can reduce the cost of this event, making it even more potent for its cost. With such a powerful effect, Saruman's Power remains relevant in all formats, even ones where Isengard itself is not prominent.
