Saruman's Trickery is an instant blue spell with a casting cost of {1}{U}{U}. This card serves two purposes:

• Counter target spell: A straightforward but powerful ability. It allows you to counter any spell your opponent casts, providing a valuable form of disruption.

• Amass Orcs 1: Similar to other cards with amass, this ability lets you either create a new 0/0 black Orc Army creature token or add a +1/+1 counter to an existing Army you control, turning it into an Orc as well. This creates board presence while also offering synergy with other Army or Orc-centric cards.

The flavour text and artwork by Yongjae Choi provide a glimpse into Saruman's manipulative and self-serving nature, consistent with his character in the source material.
