Chaotic Flame posted:Quick question about Arianne Martell in AGoT: There's no way her ability can cause people already on board to stand. I checked cardgamedb to see if there was a convo about it but just found one about being able to throw dupes onto people for free without having to pay her cost of returning to hand.

Necrons are out in Conquest, and they're looking really good. Both warlords are strong and lend themselves to quite diverse and unusual deck shapes. It remains to be seen how well they'll fare in tournaments, but I have a good feeling about this.

How do Necrons and Tyranids work for the purposes of deck building?

Literally The Worst posted:How do Necrons and Tyranids work for the purposes of deck building? Tyranids are outside the alignment wheel. No allies. Necrons are in the center of the alignment wheel, and you can put common units from any factions in your deck, but you choose at the start of your turn which faction you are allowed to play in addition to Necron units by selecting that faction on your "enslavement dial."

That new 7-cost Cersei is really good. Good strength, the best icons, very relevant ability. New Tyrion not so much due to restrictive deckbuilding and comparing poorly against old Tyrion.

It's sorta understandable since they seem to want to do things in vaguely chronological order, and the first book or so is where Lannister gets all their power plays and we're introduced to all their notable characters. I definitely would have preferred Night's Watch though because oh boy let me tell you how boring it is to sit on The Wall.

Literally The Worst posted:baller Yeah, it's interesting. Several people in my area have used this as a way to get into the game more easily - a Nids player can buy the Nids box and a core set and basically be good to go as long as they stick to Tyranids decks, and can actually skip the entire first cycle of packs.

The Thing in the Depths is out! If it wasn't enough that Tactics is getting a 4 willpower hero, Spirit's getting a 3 atk ranged. Plus the Raiment of War counting as 2 restricted attachments is another cool new bit of design space explored.

I almost used the one about how trying to discredit the poster is what someone does when they know a post is right but are too insecure to admit it, but you're spot on. That one felt more natural. Things we like can have flaws. It can be interesting to discuss them. Or poke fun. You don't have to be so defensive on this safe internet space for people with $10.

Yeah I do disagree. To me, power creep means that newer cards are better in every meaningful way and that you're better off using them instead of older cards in nearly every situation. I don't think that's true. There are still a number of cards in the core sets and early cycles that are broadly viable in many decks (and the duds from older sets were pretty much all duds to begin with). Then again "power creep" shouldn't matter in a single player / co-op game, because there's no competitive meta to keep up with. If you think that power creep in new sets is ruining the game balance and making it un fun, you can just not play with the cards you consider overpowered. No need to powergame it.

I don't think I've suggested it ruins the game, just that it exists. But I guess I do feel that Spirit getting a Tactics-level fighter, and Tactics literally getting a Spirit quester ruins things a little bit. Be interesting to see if mono-sphere becomes more popular when the "boat arrives".

Oh, turns out the entirety of The Thing in the Depths is on cardgamedb The previously unspoiled player cards are a bit meh? Don't see myself exhausting a hero for 2 resources in Leadership of all spheres, Guarded Ceaselessly I guess makes Snowbourn Scouts a little more useful but is really only good for quests with locations you never want to travel to (or explore) and Master Ironsmith is basically a safety switch for quests with forced discarding? I mean the statline is ok and he's Gondor but...

Oh, I like that. You'd want it to be tri-sphere then I suppose since Naith Guide is presumably the best option for that. Lórien Guide and Mirkwood Runner could be used in a pinch but I don't think you'd want to be using them repeatedly, and that's the only way Guarded Ceaselessly is really worth it.

Rumil and Orophin are also scouts. Haldir (ally) isn't, annoyingly, but his Hero is Ranger and Scout and you'll want him ready during questing to use his ability anyway.

I was basically dismissing them out of hand because they both have 2 willpower anyway, so you could just commit them to the quest. Plus they're both 2 atk ranged so in multi you'd probably rather leave them up for fighting. Obviously they could be used.

In a Galadriel/silvan spam deck they don't exhaust to quest on their first turn, so they can do both. And there's plenty of cards that let you pick them back up to play again next turn (especially if the deck is quad-sphere like my current one). Creating things for in-exhausted questers to do if no enemies appear is very useful to those decks.
