| ===== 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.
