Grima is probably the best Secrecy hero in the game. His built-in resource acceleration takes care of Secrecy decks' inherent economic problems without relying on Keys of Orthanc or Resourceful to function. With either of those attached, he even puts a certain Steward of a certain city in shame.
Combine him with Nori and the first dwarf you play each turn is just -1 cost! Keys of Orthanc would make them -1 with a rebate!
Gondor is a country, not a city
Doomed effects stack, so Saruman would become cost 2 with Doomed 6.
Doomed affects all players right? So Grima is not great in multiplier games?
Great hero to venture alone into the wilds, terrible in multiplayer. I mean, look at his face: probably he suffers from bad breath. No one likes to hang around him, he's grown a solitary kid. After all, no wonder he's to become GrÃma Wormtongue in a couple of years...
Can be terrible in large multiplayer, but a fast start is very important in the game, usually more important than ramp speed, so he might still be viable in two-player.
In a single player deck with Lore Aragorn, you might use him every round, but in two-player, using him just 2-3 times at the start of the game can make a big difference, without being too much of a burden, and he might just make the cut.
