Pretty powerful. I’d definately limit it to the start of each of his skirmishes, lest you do it multiple times in the same skirmish.

Perhaps discard a pipeweed instead of exerting. Not necessary, but it would be a nice touch.

Neat.
As for the next three, some possessions/artifacts would always be nice. or perhaps some cards focused around guiding the fellowship through the Misty Mountains/Moria. |

Like Dain said, I’d move this to start of each skirmish. But pretty cool. Reminds me of Ents with Roused.

Drop his strength to 6 and give him hunter 1. Cool skirmish text!

While you can spot no other minions, Saruman is enduring.
Each time an spell is played during a skirmish involving Saruman, you may make a companion skirmishing him strength -1 until the regroup phase.

I would consider allowing it to work whenever an spell is played, and be able to reduce the strength of any companion.

Spell. Weather. To play, exert an minion (or spot Saruman). Bearer must be an unbound companion. Limit one per bearer.
Each time an spell is played during a skirmish involving bearer, each Wizard involved in that skirmish is strength +1 until the regroup phase.
"’It’s Saruman!’"
Nice.

Weather.
If a companion bearing an condition loses a skirmish involving an Wizard, discard an spell from hand to exert that companion. Then, if the fellowship is at a mountain site, you may draw a card.
"’There is a fell voice on the air!’"
Seems a bit underpowered; you have to drop this event plus another spell only to get an exertion and maybe an extra card. And that’s only if the companion bears an condition and loses a skirmish involving an Wizard.
I suggest something like this:
Bring Down the Mountain
Event • Response
Weather.
If a companion bearing an condition loses a skirmish involving an Wizard, discard an spell from hand to exert that companion (or discard that companion if he or she is exhausted). Then, if the fellowship is at a mountain site, you may draw a card.
"’There is a fell voice on the air!’"

Exert an Wizard twice to exert a companion he is skirmishing (or wound that companion if that Wizard bears a staff).
Good.

Make an Wizard strength +2 (and damage +1 if that Wizard is bearing a staff).

I like it a lot. Don’t take anyone else’s suggestions! 
Seriously, the limit applies to the entire skirmish, so if you exert him multiple times you can still only get a max bonus of +4. And this Gandalf definitely doesn’t seem like the type that would be a hunter, with that subtitle.

Wow, thanks for the huge review AnxiosChieftain!
I’ve thought about Gandalf, Friend of Old and decided to leave him as is. Hunter doesn’t really fit this version of Gandalf, since he is supposed to be  friendly. I did make a small adjustment to Love of the Halfling’s Leaf as per suggestions from DáinIronfoot! Thanks for the reviews everyone; I’m going to try to give everyone a before signing off for the night.
As for the voting process, I don’t think those who did vote quite got what I had in mind. I wanted you to choose three cards from the spoiler list (very first post) and vote for those. But it’s my fault; I should have explained myself more.
So, for today, we’ll continue the - synergy cards, and those who review and vote will now know what’s going on.

Quite good. So good, in fact, that I think it needs a twilight cost, especially since it’s not unique. Perhaps .

Very interesting. It’s certainly very costly when it’s only -2, but perfect when you consider it can go as low as -5. Nice job.
for an especially neat batch. |

Very nice title! Cool text, too; maybe make it exert that Hobbit twice, though, or else this with Servant of the Secret Fire would run rampant.  |
