User blog comment:GSFB/Saruman The White vs Dominarian Sorcerer (Magic the Gathering)/@comment-6288072-20130211032927

In the battles of Abilities, both are powerful wizards. Saruman went toe - to - toe with Gandalf and Sauron, and he's an Ishtari, which means he's more superhuman and has more magical prowess. The sorcerer is powerful as well, and might bring more magical spells in the battle. But in Abilities the Dominarian sorcerer wins. Saruman's physicality isn't as strong as the sorcerer, and not as magically adept. Dominarian may have more experience fighting other magic-users that Saruman. And Saruman still uses staffs to cast, while Dominarian is staffless in combat.

Dominarian's creatures would stampede against Saruman's. As orcs are powerless against ghost as seen in the movies. His spies won't work as Dominarian makes his own armies rather that recruit them.

In the x-factors, Saruman takes Experience and Intelligence. Being an Ishtari Saruman has fought numerous battles in many ages, as that is his sole job. Dominarian takes the other factors.

Winner: Dominarian
