I think this card looks very promising in Saruman decks, direct damage decks, but not only. For example, it is very useful in the Dread Realm quest where you are constantly overrun by reanimated dead, who have 2 hit points. You can also use this effect to soften up a beefier enemy, ready Saruman, and finish him off. It is a very cool toolbox card! Its value rises in multiplayer games, but it is perfectly fine in solo, too.
