Since Lord of Morthond doesn't work with Gandalf, here is a version with Saruman now. this time I included some Wardens of Healing and Gandalf in the allies. Once again you aim for around 4-5 enemies engaged.

overall, once you get this deck going, the Draw will be better than in the Gandalf version of the deck (if LoM would work there), because there's no Limit once per round of what Saruman can pay for.

Saruman gets Steward of Gondor, his Artifacts and Silver Lamp, Amarthiúl is Heir of Valandil and Faramir gets Elessar and Lord of Morthond.

You may notice there is no Feint included and the deck isn't particularly strong in defense. That is because I built a second deck to complement this one, that is also posted today.

i think its a bit clunky to go, and until you have everything going loosing a card per round seems not so great for me.

i think it could gain more stability include all 3 Word of Command and because you aim for Steward of Gondor you have money and could afford #Lórien's Wealth and/or (specially with the ton of threadreducing by the other deck) Deep Knowledge

i am not sure it needs the dunedain-engaged thing to be good. i would concentrate on pumping out as much allies as possible and at my opinoin the cheaper ones might be of beter use (and you could use the outlands so the circle to Lord of Morthond is closing)

if not using the dunedain-style, then the good old Denethor might fasten the whole thing. 1. more money 1. round and he can give to saruman as soon he get the Steward of Gondor so u have 4 res per round usable for all spheres (that could theoreticially result in 4 additional cards or even 5 if u include 0-cost allies)

i am not sure if there are enough artifacts for his greed. if going the way i peopose, then you could discard Outmatched

nevertheless if you want to change or nor the Lord of Isengard and Palantir seems a good addition to me.
