On 9 November 2005, World's Apart announced a Design-a-Card Contest in conjunction with Decipher<ref>Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20090206125613/http://lotrtcg.decipher.com:80/notes/HuntersCardDesign.shtml</ref>. Players would have one week to design and submit cards for a chance to have their card included in a future set, contingent on playtesting and design feedback from Decipher (and World's Apart). Eventually 6 cards were selected and ultimately printed in the [[Rise of Saruman]] and [[Treachery & Deceit]] sets. | On 9 November 2005, World's Apart announced a Design-a-Card Contest in conjunction with Decipher<ref>Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20090206125613/http://lotrtcg.decipher.com:80/notes/HuntersCardDesign.shtml</ref>.

In addition to the above versions, the game text attached to the cards within the LOTRO game client suggests that at least one more version existed of Saruman (Version D?), which seems consistent with the blog post's observation that his skirmish restriction was a minor point of contention.
