Is Taking the Black the first cycle pack or a later one? If it's the first, I think it makes sense that Bara/Lanni don't get much since Baratheon's already pretty strong and Lannister is the house everyone benefits from having them bannered.

I've only used OCTGN once for a game of Netrunner years ago, but I really want to be able to get in more games of GoT outside of the weekly meetup I go to. It's no fun making a deck and having to sit on it for a week to test it. I'd be up for it. There isn't really a local LCG scene and my friends are far too cool to play them with me. PM me

That spoiler doesn't include the already spoilered Lannister and Baratheon cards from the first chapter pack: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nwYUxdN9PRztV7frsDx5pj1pKBaFaMLUiKTw0eD1pbI/htmlview They would appear to be doing ok I think the Pleasure Barge will be pretty good. Maester tutor seems great. Luwin is interesting, Insight on Rob is obviously sweet as hell, but Voltron Jon is becoming interesting, too. The Martell plot is very interesting but I'm not sure what to do with it yet; it would be cool if you could use it prior to a reliable board reset. Lady seems interesting in terms of potential to fire off other card effects repeatedly.

Lady is pretty good. Switching 2STR around is nice and getting to stand Sansa an extra time is super good. Best case you can get an extra power out of her every other turn for 1 gold each turn, that's not a bad trade in my book. We played a Melee last night and Sansa scored 4 points for the eventual winner, almost a 1/3rd of his powerful came just from her. Starting her in a solo game that you can keep slow is a huge deal too.

Sansa's ability is still once per turn, so I guess that's only good for multiple challenges or dominance. I think this pack is going to make Stark fealty a real threat though.

Baratheon are getting Renly and Robert's Warhammer. Lannister are getting The Hound and Cersei's Wheelhouse. Edit: GJ is getting that previously spoiled Seastone Chair, too, which seems potentially really good (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nwYUxdN9PRztV7frsDx5pj1pKBaFaMLUiKTw0eD1pbI/htmlview).

Yeah, I don't like this Renly much at all right now. I feel like there has to be a Small Council agenda or plot coming though. Edit: Robert's Warhammer being non loyal and working on anyone is intriguing. Seems like it would be hilarious on Tywin or a roided up Tyrell Edit Dos: Someone raised a good question on cardgamedb, whether Jon's Stealth would work on attack or not. If it does, that seems like it would be pretty ridiculous with Ghost, although you need 3 cards in play to get it going. Actually, one of the guys who worked on the Rules Reference says it won't work with Jon's "participating in challenge" effect. So boo, although that would probably be bonkers if it worked fozzy fosbourne fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Oct 29, 2015 |

Seastone Chair is weird for me in that it's a great effect, but kinda counter to the fact that Greyjoy works really well with high claim plots, including its loyal plot. On the plus side, with its loyal plot, Greyjoy can now have 4 two claim plots in their deck!

Yeah. I think it pushes GJ into more of a midrange deck than pure aggro, perhaps, where you are going for the best cards in play rather than pure board wipe, but you can still put the pedal on the gas against slower decks if called for. One other observation, I think the

Had our first good game of AGoT2 tonight, mainly because our 2 previous games were with crappy decks I made ( only 2 cores) with poor plot card choices. I made Lannister/Tyrell and Stark/Greyjoy decks based on the samples on BGG posted a page or so back with a couple of tweaks and what a difference that made. I lost 15-12, in a close but nasty game. My wife's Lannisters were all in with early plays of Cersei, Tyrion and Casterly Rock and despite me starting with Sansa and Catelyn in play they just couldn't hold out against the Lions spy game. Judicious use of Wildfire wiped out the early military lead I had and I lost most of my good uniques from intrigue discards. She also won dominance every round with the Iron Throne and Tryions gold reaction to intrigue challenges. Then did well for me as he went 3 rounds unopposed on mil challenges but she then got Tywin in play which put a stop to that. Good fun, loads of theme.

Played a bunch of good games tonight at the weekly meetup. Tweaked my Martell/Tyrell deck a bit and it seems to be a bit more consistent, but I lost both games to a Tyrell/Targaryen deck. Second game I would have gotten 15 power with The Viper's ability, but he Highgardened one of my dudes out of the challenge, so I only got to 14 and then he got to 15 the next turn. The only game I won was with my newly constructed Targaryen/Lannister deck against a Greyjoy/Martell deck and that was a pretty decisive win for me. It was my first time using that deck, so we'll see how far it takes me.

In LOTR, if a player does something to look at the top of the encounter deck, do all players get to see it or only the player who used an action to look at it? (And in the latter situation he wouldn't be able to do more than warn "welp bad poo poo's coming" or whatever you think doesn't go against the spirit of the game)

PaybackJack posted:Greyjoy definitely seems like a hit or miss faction, however they seem ridiculously hard to dislodge if you get run over by them early. I really think Targ Fealty is able to handle not getting danny early. You should be running Varysx2 at least, and if you arent' drawing danny you're probably still getting dragons and jorah and some other low cost dudes to hang around in the game, wipe them with varys and then play danny late game to close?

Need opinions on a melee deck:quote:Deck Created with CardGameDB.com A Game of Thrones 2nd Edition Deckbuilder Haven't tested a single thing yet. Questionable cards are Olenna's Informant and Queen's Assassin. I'd replace the former with Courtesan of the Rose and the latter with, uh, Gold Cloaks? The issue is that I don't know how useful they actually are and they sorta clog up setup. The entire deck is also very unique heavy, which makes for an interesting challenge, since I think I'm pretty boned against an actual aggro deck, especially Greyjoy aggression since all my big dudes will just get stealthed through. But with the defensive plots, I can build up something resembling a complement of dudes and then lay waste etc. But I noticed that renown characters kinda own bones in melee, so having 4 is some good. Intrigue also makes for some surprisingly easy points to be scored, and getting Master of Whispers also makes me supported by the Master of Ships, so that's some good. Speaking of Master of Whispers, if I choose the Master of Whispers when someone plays Calm Over Westeros and claims Intrigue, if I attack another player with Intrigue and win, that Calm doesn't reduce the claim right? Like I would still discard the full claim value since I wasn't doing the Intrigue challenge against them? Also, if I Widow's Wail Randyll, does he stand?

It seems like Kith are the favorites for Conquest, NEH/Kate for Netrunner, Bara/Something for AGoT 2nd. I have a shot, but I'm not taking it - I don't think FFG has handled the GenCon cheating scandal well and I'm not willing to invest significant time/money in flying to out of state game tournaments if they're not going to be reliably well-run tournaments. My sense is that Kith is weaker than people think. She's "the meta", but people have forgotten that she only became the meta to counter Eldorath and that Eldorath is likely going to be much less prevalent now, so you won't be getting as many free rides as in the past. (Kith vs. Eldorath is probably like a 75-25 matchup in Kith's favor with standard decks - this may have shifted somewhat with Autarch Celachia, but she doesn't seem to have made a huge impact.) With most good Eldorath players switching over to Ragnar or Zarathur, the situation looks a lot worse for Kith - so broadly speaking I think she will succeed or fail based on whether or not the meta has adapted. Were I attending I would be playing.Zarathur/Ork, which is favored against Kith in my testing. Warpstorm and Gleeful Plague Beast wreck Kith's low-HP swarms, Ork Kannon and Rotten Plaguebearers can pick off her efficient cappers (the exception being Sslyth Mercenary, which is a marginal card against Chaos in general thanks to the resource stress from Slaanesh's Temptation and Promise of Glory/Splintered Path Acolyte), and Ammo Depot powers through choke very effectively.

I've played a bunch of a somewhat aggro Stark (fealty) and just don't see how I could afford ambush 4 for Olenna's easily, and it seems it will often pan out like a way more expensive version of Winter is coming. Also I prefer Knight of flowers to Randall, do you not run him at all? Can you share a decklist? I've considered Tyrell banner instead of fealty, so would be good to see how different yours is to my mockup.

Putting Brutal on everything is really harsh, plus general masochistic cards like Ork Kannon, Weirdboy Maniaks, Dakka3, Warpstorm and Flash Gitz helps to enable that and soften the enemy. It helps that most orks have a ton of HP also, especially for their price. Poor Urien, though. I wonder if he was just a victim of conservative design, adding a drawback for fear of his actual advantage being potentially degenerative. Somehow?

Urien's main downside in my view is that you have to be running a deck that focuses on both choke and hunt for his signature event (the most common card in your deck) to be relevant. Unfortunately, having a preset gameplan in Conquest is pretty dangerous - in general, more adaptive decks tend to do better. Further, it's hard to squish choke cards, hunt cards, Torture synergy cards, and basic command units into a working deck. It's conceivable that Urien will be better in the future, but right now I think he's overcrowded and there's really little reason to pick "you get to use a different and sometimes better set of events more efficiently, but your normal events are less efficient" over "free 2/1 unit every turn". The extra card in your opening hand makes up for it a bit, but not enough.

Can someone post an Eldorath deck? I've been meaning to try it, but every time I try I just look at the Eldar cards and think that it's too finesse-y for my tastes, but I figure I'd rather make Eldar/Dark Eldar than have a completely predictable Kith/DE deck. I tried to make one, but I have no idea how some of the units are. Like, Silvered Blade Avengers sounds good on paper to further the lockdown-ness, but they only have 1 attack..., which seems...eh. And how many opportunities do you get to play Nullify? Tapping a Warlord is always super risky, and I find that it's rarely worth it (I'm fairly certain I use Dakka3 for shields more than for making GBS threads damage everywhere).
