Goblins and Orcs you control have ward {2}.
"Over all his works a dark smoke hung and wrapped itself about the sides of Orthanc."

Saruman, the White Hand Rulings
5 most recent
- Jun 16, 2023 A creature that is both a Goblin and an Orc still only gets one instance of ward {2} from Saruman, the White Hand's last ability.
- Jun 16, 2023 Amass Zombies works the same way, except you create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token if you don't control an Army. If the Army creature you chose isn't already a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types. By combining cards with amass Orcs and amass Zombies, you can end up with an Orc Zombie Army.
- Jun 16, 2023 Amass abilities are now written as "amass [subtype] N." Previous cards with amass have received errata to say "amass Zombies N."
- Jun 16, 2023 If Saruman, the White Hand is a Goblin or an Orc, it will have ward {2}.
- Jun 16, 2023 If you don't control an Army, the Orc Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.
