Initial notes:

My first game against Manuel was actually going better than I expected.  I had Strident Spawn in play and was ready to start raking in the Orcs and store the Vein of Arda, letting me return to the Deep Mines for 2 x Gems of Arda.

Manuel plays Call of Home, and I think "I've got 5 free GI, no problem."

Snake Eyes.

Lost Celeborn, couldn't replay him, and lost my Vein of Arda so couldn't even get the gems.

Resigned at this point.

Second Round was vs. Ringbearer, who was running a "Great Army of the Northeast" style deck with Grimburgoth and Hoarmurath handling the cancelling.

I used Witch-King to prevent his Great Army points on the last turn, which was fun.

My deck worked reasonably well, though I got lucky on the corruption rolls at the end.  Got two Iron-Shields, A Gem, and 3 Delver's Harvests at the Deep Mines.  Didn't draw any character points until late, and couldn't play my ally.

Ringbearer won, of course.  The final result was, adjusted, 29-22.  Not bad for Fallen Saruman.

 I leave the tournament with a rousing 2 TPs.

Got lucky....

- Saruman tapped killing 2 corsairs
- surviving cc of average 4, around 5 or 6
- 2 Call from Home at +5 and one at +6

And he made them all... not even a single roll under 5.
