While ''Lord of the Rings'' aficionados might note that the wizards are actually Maiar in the guise of men, in this game "wizard" is considered as a separate race from [[Maia]]. The only character with the race of Maia in this game is Sauron himself. Cards which affect wizards do not affect Sauron, and no card mentions Maia by name. | While ''Lord of the Rings'' aficionados might note that the wizards are actually Maiar in the guise of men, in this game "wizard" is considered as a separate race from [[Maia]].
