So Syrio is incredible in my Lannister fealty deck, holy crap. Really plugs the hole in the deck (military) and also plays to the strengths by letting someone like Cersei have stealth. Soooo good. Three games in a row I've managed to just shut down the other player by taking 2 or more cards every turn with intrigue. I even had a powerplay first round with Wardens of the West that completely stopped a Targaryen deck in it's tracks. It feels like the most control-style deck in 2nd edition.quote:Control & Economy The idea is an intrigue heavy deck that has a ton of bonuses to winning intrigue and econ to pay for the strong characters. Cersei, Queens Assassin, Tears of Lys, Wardens of the West, Casterly Rock, A Game of Thrones, and Heads on Spikes all completely demolish their hands and control the board each turn. Brothel Madame and Tyrio pay for events and buff Tywin. Tears, Milk, Filthy Accusations, The Things I do for Love all handle any threats I need to target. It's a blast.

Pretty much smash two of the factions together and split up the neutrals pretty equally and go at it. With one core set a lot of games will come down to who draws the big guys, since there's not enough consistency to build any real synergy.

I remember reading that Star Wars is one of their best selling LCGs, surprisingly enough. I think a lot of people must buy it just because of the property but not actually play it.

Yeah, I would totally be down for a 2.0 of the Star Wars LCG. AGoT proves they can do it well, and Star Wars is too good a license to let the card game ever die.

CaptainRightful posted:When you guys say "kill" do you mean "stop producing" or "stop producing new content"? Because if it's the latter, I wouldn't be too upset. Now that they're up to the Grey Havens, there isn't a whole lot of untouched material left to cover. They don't continue printing games they are no longer making content for. See the Invasion liquidation this past Christmas sale. frgildan posted:

tijag posted:I don't think Conquest is currently in any danger of dying. Unless it drastically fell off GenCon and Worlds attendance for Conquest was fantastic. That's not really an indication of the overall success though. Of course the biggest two tournaments are going to attract big numbers of all the die-hard fans. Hell, GoT 2.0 had huge numbers despite not even being out yet.

Fetterkey posted:Conquest rules, I certainly hope they don't cancel it anytime soon. The Planetfall cycle has been really exciting (I think Boundless Hate was the best pack ever) and has shaken up the meta a lot, so I'm excited to see where things will go from here. No we're just speculating what would be next. As pointed out, they already canned two to make room for Conquest and Lot5R.

PaybackJack posted:I'm on mobile too and it ain't that hard to grab a pic or link. Imgur doesn't work for me and I don't have the app. What I really like about Lannister now is the ability to build heavy military or intrigue (or a mix) with the bankroll to support either really well, along with the accompanying events, etc. So many big threats and unique effects.

Taran_Wanderer posted:I thought it had been said that Valar Morghulis itself wouldn't be coming back, but similar effects. Things like Varys, from my understanding. That was the original statement, but this week one of the devs specifically mentioned VM being brought in to 2.0. I think as long as it stays 2/0/0/4 then it would be a great addition to the game, as it's already really hard to recover from a behind position and more removal and board wipe options are usually healthy in card games. My friends and I are going to proxy it this weekend and see how it plays out.

Reminder that David Sirlin is a loving hack of a designer. Here's the chip design someone made on BGG for Dominion well before Puzzle Strike was made, he just literally ripped the layout and design 100%. This was uploaded in 2008.

I've played the pnp Codex set. It is basically streamlined Mage Wars and if done by any other company and it didn't cost $200 dollars it would be alright. But since I've never shook the mans hand I guess I have no room to criticize his laziness or lovely business practices right?

That looks like a blast, thank you for the idea. I've been loving my Tyrell Stark Knight power rush deck, even pulled off a turn two win with it yesterday. It's pretty retarded fast if you draw right. I'll post the list when I wake up.

They've done well with high faction counts in every other game, so I don't see them cutting it here. I never played L5R though.

That is a sick card. I'm loving Martell/Crossing and those new cards will only make it better. That 6 drop will be killer too, as I don't run Red Viper in mine.

I'm generally gaining 3-4 power every turn thanks to icon removal for unopposed and crossing boosted power challenges. The Boneway and Doran's are just way's to seal the deal in the end. Also, The Long Plan into Counting Coppers + In Doran's Name is an incredible late game combo. Tons of gold and card draw to seal the deal or rebuild if I face a board wipe or something.

Don't forget that list that went 9-0 at a store champ and got popular over the past few weeks. It's super slow, defense oriented and kind of boring to play, but they are viable.

No, it's a fealty deck. Fealty is pretty important for helping their econ problems. It's the deck on the homepage on thronesdb.com, but the site seems to be down at the moment.

I don't know how I feel about the summer/winter theme being tied to plot card traits. That's such a crap shoot way to build a deck that depending on your opponent's to have ornnot have specific things. The reserve stuff is cool though, I want to see more of that kind of design.

PaybackJack posted:I don't mind the summer/winter them as long as it remains neutral. Right now Star Wars is doing and Endor theme and the Scum faction is completely ignored which is making their stuff very insular and not able to cross pollenate with the other new decks that are built around the Endor theme. It's extremely frustrating, and if the Summer/Winter thing ends up with one side being strong and the other side just being meta to it, it's going to be really bad if certain factions are able to take advantage of that more than others. Well they balance each other out, which is actually really smart in terms of game design. And different factions will obviously lean more towards one or the other as well, which will also encourage diversity in deck building. Deviant posted:But it's not like the cards are bad on their own. Both of those plots seem perfectly playable, if Summer is a bit better. This is a good point, they're pretty solid plots on their own and the agendas are probably worth it even if they only trigger the bonus effect ~50% of the time. Also, that art on the plot cards looks out of place in this game (but still good). Are there any other cards with that style?

 Some stuff from the Stark box. That 7 gold plot looks really good. Sacrifice a character when revealed, but that will have a lot of synergy with some of the new Stark cards.

The only deck it affects for me is Tyrell/Stark Knights/Ladies, but as mentioned, it usually affects the opponent a lot as well. I think it's more of an alternate Wildfire than anything.

Yeah, the guy ended up losing 3-15 against Lannister Crossing ( ) but the pieces are starting to appear for a lot of cool decks. I don't think Blackfish is really worth it quite yet, there are better options in the 6 drop spot for Stark right now and he's hurt more by milk than any of the others. I'm having success with Tyrell Crossing Knights/Ladies power rush right now, but it's very much feast or famine. I honestly haven't touched any other board games in 4 months because my wife and I love this game so much.

Yeah, Leaping Lions is the first deck I could see being an issue. Not to mention Lannister make up 38% of tournament wins since NMG release. I believe that's much higher than Baratheon ever had during the first few months. I'm still having a ton of success with my discard control Lannister.

I don't get the purpose of 1 of's in LCGs. They seem to be the only card games where people frequently run them. I get that unique cards can be dead draws and I understand going for 2s, but singletons are just so unreliable in a 60 card deck. I play all 2s or 3s. Bronn is definitely just straight up good. Lannisters usually have econ advantage anyways, and like you said, being in control of playing him or not skews it even more in your favor. People also underestimated Gregor, and we've seen how that turned out
