Saruman, the White Hand Rules Text & Legality

Saruman, the White Hand

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, amass Orcs X, where X is that spell's mana value. (Put X +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also an Orc. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token first.)

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 is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Saruman, the White Hand Rulings

  • 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.
