Galadriel, Elrond, Gandalf, and Radagast are each strength +2 and resistance +1. While you can spot Saruman, Galadriel, Elrond, Gandalf, and Radagast are each strength -1 and resistance -2.

I just thought of this off the top of my head.

I mean technically (excuse me while I put my nerd glasses on), Celeborn, Cirdan, Glorfindel, and even Erestor were probably there. Even Gil-Galad was part of the first White Council. And since Saruman was still a good guy, I'd say each of the listed characters are strength +1 and resistance +1, but while you can spot Saruman, they're strength +2 and resistance -2.
If we're gonna play games, I'm gonna need a cup of coffee.

I'm pretty sure Gil-galad was not a member of the white council.
"Do you ever wonder why we are here?  Maybe you're here because it is the only place you fit in.  Maybe you're here because you have nowhere else to go.  Maybe you're here because deep down, you want to be here.  It doesn't matter why you're here.  All that matters is that you are here!"

That is something I hadn't thought of. Had the Wizards even arrived in Middle-Earth yet?

"Little is known about the First White Council, the members of which were mostly the same as the Second, but led by Gil-galad and not including the Istari (wizards). It was formed after Sauron's defeat in Eriador in S.A. 1701. Its main decision was that Eregion was to be abandoned in favour of Imladris."

Well if the Istari were there then wouldent you have to add pallando and alatar too?

Decipher took extreme liberties with Alatar and Pallando. The moths they used for the cards weren't even meant to symbolize the (let alone be the actual) Blue Wizards in the movies. I'm sure if you want, you can create the Blue Wizards as more of your dream cards, ANGRY.

Yeah, it would be nice having the actual wizards as cards.

Aside from the movies, I don't think there's anything at all in the core literature that would point to the fact that the two other wizards just turned into moths.

They were probably somewhere around Middle-Earth. The elves probably wouldn't have let them go home to Valinor, yet.
