I think I was treating the banner Agendas as a replacement for the House card instead of two co-existent cards, and that was making the verbiage on them seem really counter intuitive. So I would have both my House card (Stark, allowing for any number of loyal or non-loyal Stark cards), and the "Banner of the Watch" Agenda next to it to indicate that I can have non-loyal NW cards, to a minimum of 12 NW cards in the deck. Am I getting it now? Yup, that's it.

GrandpaPants posted:Take it to the standard board game thread since this is going to lead to a huge derail, moreso than suggesting a non-LCG in the LCG thread. Your deck looks like it could use some of the value uniques in both factions at 1-of. Shireen is great and Chamber/Iron Throne is extremely potent with a well-timed soft board reset (Wildfire). The overall concept is solid (Renown/Kneel/Stealth) and it's definitely a deck I'm working on to play when tournaments begin, just need to get the numbers right.

I loved playing Lannister in the first edition, so I threw together a quick two Core Lannister/Tyrell deck, though I haven't yet played the new game. Deck Created with CardGameDB.com A Game of Thrones 2nd Edition Deckbuilder Total Cards: (60) Faction: Lannister Agenda: (1) 1x Banner of the Rose (Core Set) Plot: (7) 1x A Game of Thrones (Core Set) 1x A Noble Cause (Core Set) 1x Building Orders (Core Set) 1x Filthy Accusations (Core Set) 2x Heads on Spikes (Core Set) 1x Sneak Attack (Core Set) Character: (35) 2x Cersei Lannister (Core Set) 2x Courtesan of the Rose (Core Set) 2x Gold Cloaks (Core Set) 2x Grand Maester Pycelle (Core Set) 2x Joffrey Baratheon (Core Set) 2x Lannisport Merchant (Core Set) 2x Lannisport Moneylender (Core Set) 2x Left (Core Set) 2x Maester Lomys (Core Set) 2x Margaery Tyrell (Core Set) 2x Right (Core Set) 2x Ser Jaime Lannister (Core Set) 2x The Knight of Flowers (Core Set) 2x The Queen’s Assassin (Core Set) 2x Tyrion Lannister (Core Set) 2x Tywin Lannister (Core Set) 3x Rattleshirt’s Raiders (Core Set) Attachment: (6) 2x Bodyguard (Core Set) 2x Seal of the Hand (Core Set) 2x Widow’s Wail (Core Set) Event: (6) 2x Hear Me Roar! (Core Set) 2x Tears of Lys (Core Set) 2x Treachery (Core Set) Location: (13) 2x Casterly Rock (Core Set) 2x Lannisport (Core Set) 3x The Kingsroad (Core Set) 3x The Roseroad (Core Set) 3x Western Fiefdom (Core Set) I'm usually not that fond of mono-icon characters, but these guys seem to have useful abilities. Right and Left also amuse me greatly. Still, I might have gone too far in the icon balancing, as I don't have the Intrigue focus that I probably should. I'd also like to find some room for The Things I Do For Love, The Hand's Judgement. Littlefinger or Varys would also be cool, but I think I have enough of the more expensive characters. I'll have to play with the character mix once I can actually sit down and play some games.

I put together a Lannister/Tyrell deck as well, focused a little more on dominating Intrigue/Power challenges with chances at multiple challenges.

Thank you! Looks like we run similar decks. I don't run Joffrey/Widow's Wail, Courtesan, SotH, and Knight of the Flower. I definitely see where they fit in though. I may dump Bear and Maiden Fair to include Joffrey for more Military. A zero-cost deck mill where I get to choose sounds pretty useful.

Played my first game of Game of Thrones, using a Targaryen Fealty deck vs. my friend's Martell/Tyrell deck. I won it 15-0 and he had at most 1 power the entire game. He had three dudes out by the end of turn 1, I militaried one away, Dracarys'ed the other, and then on turn 2 I marched the last to the wall. He never got tempo again after that, since all he had left were big characters that I overpowered with a growing military and thus kept killing, so I kept unopposing him on challenges. I get the feeling I didn't get a really representative feel for the game, but it was nonetheless really satisfying to sweep a deck. Playing the deck made me kinda want to do Targaryen/Lannister just to bring in Tyrion, since that 2 coin/Intrigue challenge goes super well with the otherwise super expensive but super good Illyrio, along with events like Dracarys or Hand's Judgments. Holding back 2 coin is surprisingly really difficult. Joffrey would probably get a lot of power in a Targaryen deck too, and Jaime is always welcome. I still don't know if I have a good grasp on proper deck ratios as far as cost distribution, due to the really weird economy in the game. I get the feeling one should be really wary of throwing out 5+ cost dudes on turn 1-2, but that may be specific against the dedicated kill decks like Targaryen, Stark and Greyjoy. Still, was a fun game, but biased because wow did I dominate the hell out of him.

Here's another Conquest preview for a pack we won't get for a while because wow, what the hell is going on with the Tyranids: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2015/8/11/what-lurks-below/ That Tyranid warlord is pretty legit scary since Ambush is one of the most powerful keywords in the game. Also that Skrap Nabba owns.

Joel Eddy review of VS up https://www.boardgamegeek.com/video/75922/vs-system-2pcg/drivethrureview-408-we-have-technology-we-can-rebu Upper Deck, shmupper deck, I don't care, I'm going to YOLO the heck out of this even if it's only for nostalgia. Not so sure I'm interested in Marvel vs Aliens vs Predator next year, though E: that's pretty cool that the core comes with 4 of each card. fozzy fosbourne fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Aug 13, 2015 |

Wondering if you need 6 core sets/proxies to make 2 different faction net decks Tears of Lys is probably the biggest one, as it's targeted removal with a relatively easy condition to meet. As the card pool expands, it may fall out of favor in certain decks, but I think it will still be fairly common in a number of decks for a good while. Given how important Lord and Lady characters are right now, Bodyguard is probably also really important. Still, nothing that can't be made up for in other ways.

Wondering if you need 6 core sets/proxies to make 2 different faction net decks The big staples in my experience are Roseroad, Kingsroad, Milk of the Poppy, and Littlefinger - all decks that I've made thus far have 3x of the first 3 and 1-2x Littlefinger. I think a core set comes with multiple copies of those, though I don't remember how many of each neutral is in the core. I know each core has 4 copies of Rose/Kingsroad but I'm less certain for the others.

Tears of Lys and Hand's Judgment aren't in every deck though, so I think FFG absolutely got the numbers right in the core set, with Milk and Littlefinger at 2x.

Yeah, Tears only really makes sense in decks with lots of Intrigue (and even then I don't really like it, it basically does nothing in some matchups), and some decks need Hand's Judgment more than others.

Hey so I think I might take the plunge to Get the LoTr ccg and I had a few questions Do I need 2 decks to get a full set of starter cards? Ie is there a card I want 2 chipsw of but starter only has 1? Is it possible to play as mainly dwarves? Those guys are my favorite Last any must have expansions starting out?

Tiny Chalupa posted:Hey so I think I might take the plunge to Get the LoTr ccg and I had a few questions Ok. Let me try to respond. For a full set, you need three core sets, but there's only about 13 cards that you need that third set for, so I recommend only getting one, then getting a second if you really love it. It is totally possible to play Dwarf decks, and for a while, they were the dominate archetype. If you want to play Dwarves, get these expansions first: * Return to Mirkwood Adventure Pack * The Hobbit: Over Hill and Under Hill Saga Expansion * The Hobbit: On the Doorstep Saga Expansion There are other great expansions, but those will give you a good start on Dwarves.

Tiny Chalupa posted:Hey so I think I might take the plunge to Get the LoTr ccg and I had a few questions You can have triples of non-hero cards, and a max of 3 heroes in each deck. http://spontaneousderivation.com/2011/05/06/original-decklists-for-lord-of-the-rings-lcg/ That link has the core set card lists. Note that some of the cards have only one copy, but really, you don't need to buy a second (or third!) core set unless you're getting crazy into the tournament scene I've played 5-6 games so far and haven't felt let down by my single copy of a core set. The core set encounters are designed to challenge you with the core decks. The best argument for getting a second core set is the Gandalfs, because that's a card that you are really always going to want 3 copies of (and 4 total come in the Core set, so if you're playing with 2 everyone will want 3 Gandalfs each.) If it's me and my money, I'm spending my gaming dollars on a bunch of expansions and new cards before buying copies of the old ones.The good news is that all the Adventure Packs have triples of all the player cards, so you'll never need to buy doubles of those. To answer your last two questions, this appears to be a pretty good resource for rating the expansions and helping you choose what to buy. https://talesfromthecards.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/new-player-buying-guide/ You can use the detail there to build up a dwarf deck. If you're building a dwarf deck, you will probably want the expansion that has Dain Ironfoot in it. He's the cornerstone of dwarf decks (giving ALL dwarf characters on the board +1 ATK and +1 WILL when he's readied) e:f;b.

There are also some cheap parted out Core Set auctions on eBay where you can top off some of the less-than-3 cards with out paying the full price of an extra Core and without then owning doubles of all the Sauron enemy cards that you won't ever need. 1 extra of the 2-ofs to make a playset, $8 1 extra of 1-ofs, $20 That was how I made it so I had 3 of everything and no extra stuff.

Steward of Gondor goes in pretty much every Leadership deck and it is only a 2-of in the core set. I would get two core sets only if you are consistently playing with 4 people otherwise buy more expansions and adventure packs.

Shout out to The Redhorn Gate for milling over all the Victory Point cards before stage 3 so that I was only at 4 points after passing Caradhras and had to cycle through the entire Encounter deck and get a reshuffle before I could win. Luckily I was able to use West Road Traveller to double trigger The Dimrill Stair so my Threat was only at like 8 when I found myself in that predicament. In the end it took me 39 turns to clear. Fun quest though, even if I had to take Spirit Arwen out of the deck because the quest gave you the objective/ally one.
