http://lotrtcg.fanhq.com/TCG/Card.aspx?gameID=7&cardID=6089 and http://lotrtcg.fanhq.com/TCG/Card.aspx?gameID=7&cardID=6087 note something similar? Read the subtitle of the cards...

that's it! Saruman, Captain of the Nine

i learnt to read the tengwar characters, and there is another misprint in saruman: "when you play Saruman, name a culture. Each companion of the named culture is strenght plus 1."    weird huh?

it's easy, that thing that it's like a "y" upside down is an "e" the thing that its like a "T" is an "l" and so on. it was just pure association...

LOL I play saruman captain of the nine, and to counter his adding text, saruman, of many colours!

just by looking you can tell they have the same subtitle.

Wow, that's actually really sad.  There weren't many Tengwar cards... you'd think it wouldn't take TOO much time to get it right.  And unfortunately as Lemon already pointed out, it doesn't surprise anyone.

There actually another error in tengwar i dont know if anyone is aware of. If you compare the cave trolls strength or vitality i cant remember to something else with a tengwar number it shows he actually has the wrong number. He's either ridiculously weak or strong. Someone can find out im sure. Anyway lol point is the Cave Troll is errored as well.

Darn, and there was me thinking they at least respected Tolkien's Tengwar (if not balance) in the last few sets. O_o

D obviously thought that they could throw in some pseudo-random tengwar characters and hope that none would be the wiser, and that no one would find out.  I just resent this.

Appendix of LOTR.

Furthermore, that's an atrocious Tengwar transliteration. It reads more like..."Cwptiwn of the nen(e)". (That's a long "i" and a short "e", with a silent "e" at the end, by the way)

well, the silent "e" at the end is correct, but it's obvious it's incorrect english, the single presence of three letters where there should be 4 (nen)... they dont care even about the text of the card (PLUS 1)

Actually..."Nine" could be done with two "n" Tengwar, with two dots above and one dot below the second one. (Yeah...I like to optimize my Tengwar writing)
