====== 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.

===== Strengths and Weaknesses =====

=== Strong Versus... ===

* Condition-based Free Peoples, including:
* Dauntless Hobbits (Escape, Fearing the Worst, A Talent for Not Being Seen)
* Trust Me As You Once Did
* [Gondor] Knights
* [Rohan] Army (We Left None Alive, Arrow-Slits, Thundering Host)
* [Dwarven] condition
* Shadowplay Hobbits
* Expanded Hobbits
* Saruman's Ambition can reduce the twilight cost of this event; however, the event will discard the condition
* Versatile splash event with splash minions like Grima or [[lotr04173|Saruman, Black Traitor]] as well as [Isengard] Uruk-Hai, Orc, or Man
* Best in decks that do not rely on many conditions, such as [Isengard] Wargs or Uruk beatdown

=== Weak Versus... ===

* Foul Creation
* Decks that do not rely upon conditions
* Condition shielding, such as Pippin, Friend to Frodo or Gimli, Feared Axeman

===== Rules and Clarifications =====

* This card affects active conditions only, so it won't affect your free peoples conditions or your opponent's Shadow conditions.
