Why is that? Well, I believe it comes down to two cards in particular: Tyrion and the Moneylender. So, since events cost gold, you have to carry gold into the Challenges or later phases to make good use of something like Die by the Sword, which costs two gold and lets you choose and kill a character controlled by the losing opponent if you have won a Military challenge by five or more strength. This is where Tyrion Lannister enters the picture. Limit twice per round. Many players consider Tyrion to be the best character in the entire game for this reason. So, since Tyrion is arguably the best character in the game, it begins to make sense why someone would run Banner of the Lion. In a deck like Targaryen Fealty, one of the main benefits of the Fealty agenda is that you can kneel your House card to reduce the cost of a loyal event like Dracarys! Which, if you spend a gold and kneel a Stormborn or a Dragon, lets you choose a participating character to become minus four strength and for them to be killed if their strength is zero. Since Dracarys! However, if you splash in Tyrion, he gives you the benefits of the Banner access to Lannister cards, no limit on neutral cardswithout taking away the ease-of-use events. The second card that makes Banner of the Lion so popular is the Lannisport Moneylender, a two gold, two strength intrigue character that give you an extra gold per turn. One of the most difficult parts of building a Banner deck is determining the right curve of A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack income. When the time comes to build a Banner deck, players will stick to three Kingsroad, three Roseroads, and two Littlefingers, A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack the ratio of the remaining income cards can be more difficult, as the cards that kneel to reduce the cost of an in-House card have less value than in a single faction deck. Enter the Lannisport Moneylender. By running three copies of the Lannisport Moneylender, a player can run nine Limited cards while still providing income useable by all their characters. As such, the presence of the Moneylender creates a smoother play experience for anyone looking to dabble in multiple Houses. There are obviously other Lannister cards that might draw a player to Banner of the Lion. That being said, none of them have the universal appeal or limit the opportunity cost of running a Banner agenda like Tyrion and the Moneylender do. However, with hundreds of copies being sold at GenCon — with many having gone to some of the top Thrones players in the world who attended the National Championship in Indianapolis—and the release of the OCTGN module for the game, the first signs of a burgeoning meta have emerged. If I had to pick a theme for the Core Set, it would be that characters matter. This means that FFG have put a lot of effort into creating a Core Set where the most iconic characters from A Song of Ice and Fire are represented, so that even as other, future versions of those characters may be released and then subsequently rotated out there will still always be a powerful version of Tyrion or Daenerys available to players of House Lannister or House Targaryen, etc. I cannot emphasize how welcome of a change this is. The Core Set features cards for every faction that will never be rotated out of the game, and will be followed by two kinds of releases: Deluxe Boxes and Chapter Pack cycles. Deluxe Boxes provide a large number of cards at once, likely for two Factions at a time, and are released sporadically. Chapter Packs are released once a month, adding twenty cards to the card pool each month players can use to modify their decks. These will be rotated out of the card pool every four or five years in order to keep the buy-in for the game at a reasonable price. Deluxe Boxes do not rotate. Every purchase contains a complete set of cards—three copies of each card—except the Core Set, which contains one copy of each card, aside from a few key neutral cards. In the first edition Core Set, with the exception of a few characters Jaime LannisterRobert Baratheonand Khal Drogo standing out as suchmany of the major characters from the series were merely adequate at best, with later versions almost always trumping the iconic characters from the Core. It was disappointing to rather play an Enemy Informer than Tyrion Lannister every turn in the early phases of our playgroup. Take House Lannister, for instance. Their three most expensive characters at seven, six, and five gold, respectively, are Tywin LannisterJaime Lannisterand Tyrion Lannister. Tywin plays into the gold matters theme, earning an additional strength for every gold in your pool, while also providing two gold per turn. Of course, it can be said that A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack a character with that much potential strength during an intrigue challenge certainly helps that theme, too! Jaime Lannister, perhaps surprisingly, reinforces the intrigue theme, despite his card ability relating to military challenges. By not having to kneel during military, Jaime can allow a Lannister player to do a military challenge, but then still have Jaime standing to participate in any necessary intrigue challenges that turn. And finally, Tyrion perhaps the best character in the Core Set is the key to it all, providing two extra gold every time you win an intrigue challenge. This allows the Lannister player to trigger additional events The Things I Do For Loveperhaps or any of their numerous ambush characters Burned Men following intrigue challenges. Another major element to the success of unique characters in second edition compared to the first is the simple lack of automatic character removal in the forms of Valar Morghulis or Westeros Bleeds. More powerful characters will come to the table faster and they will stay on the table longer. This brings me to the card that has so far defined the first several weeks of the Thrones meta-game: Milk of the Poppy. Now, Milk of the Poppy existed in first edition, and it was a good card, but it was never as potent as it is in second edition for the simple fact that characters are now more expensive. In fact, Milk of the Poppy could probably have cost two gold and still be a must-have card. When you get your third Core Set, you and your opponent will both be running three copies of Milk of the Poppy. Thus, the Dance of the Poppies. If the abundance of powerful effects on major players from A Song of Ice and Fire is the best part of the Core Set, the constant fear A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack those same characters becoming useless, drug-addled nitwits is undoubtedly the worst part. The easiest solution, available to all Houses, is Confiscation. Of course, if your opponents are having to use their Confiscation on Milk of the Poppy, it opens up room for attachments like Heartsbane or Lightbringer to win games, putting even more pressure on your opponent. If they are force to discard Lightbringer to shut down Robert Baratheon, they may not be able to remove a Milk of the Poppy from Magister Illyriothus preventing Khal Drogo from making the most of his own card ability, for example. Four cost for three strength on a card with only one icon is tough, but attachment control is essential. Maester Cressen in particular is noteworthy because he is not a loyal card. In fact, Cressen has become one of my favorite parts about running House Baratheon. Not that I need reasons to love my favorite stags. Card draw and rare, non-limited income! Play him. Love him. A Game of Thrones 1e is my favorite game of all time. Of course, half the battle, too, is building the best deck you can in advance. Now, there are a lot of competitive, expandable card games out there—Fantasy Flight themselves make five other such games—but there A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack three key components to A Game of Thrones that distinguish it in my mind: the plot cards, the integrated player turn, and the three challenges. Some games, like Hearthstone and Vs System, opted to simply give the player a resource a turn. Others still tried other means: Warhammer: Invasion sees the placement of your characters in a particular area as resources, while Android: Netrunner has you generate non-repeatable-use tokens as resources instead of using cards from your deck. A plot card is one of seven cards in a separate plot deck that each player brings to each game in addition to their sixty or more card draw deck. The plot card dictates four things: who will go first, how strong your attacks are, how many cards you can keep in your hand that round, and how many resources you will get on a given turn. These numbers are all balanced against each other, while also factoring in a special game effect printed on most plot cards. The plot card system provides a player agency over their resources each turn, while also forcing them to consider other dynamic elements in that resource decision. Can I afford to let this player go first, if my plot has low initiative? Is this plot effect the best one to go into effect this round? There are additional characters and locations that produce extra gold or reduce the cost to play cards, but the plot card system ensures that each round of A Game of Thrones feels dynamic and unique, while creating a small psychological bluffing game at the outset of every turn. A very simple example of this is created by the plot card Naval Superiority. In the Core Set, many of the strongest characters are lords and ladies, from Daenerys Targaryen to Tyrion Lannisteramong others, and so a popular plot to play on the first turn is A Noble Cause. A Noble Cause reduces the cost to play your first Lord or Lady each turn by two, but also provides a substantial five gold. However, it is a Kingdom location, so its gold can be set to zero by playing the Naval Superiority plot. This means that anyone who is playing it as their first plot is risking losing their first turn income. Or do you keep that two extra gold from A Noble Cause so that you can marshal Littlefinger and an additional character this turn? Piloting the plot phase is one of the most difficult A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack to playing both 1e and 2e and is the hallmark of a good player. You have to know your deck, know the metagame, and be able to adjust your plot choices to the fluctuating game state every round. Sharing a Turn Together The second element to A Game of Thrones that sets it apart from other expandable card games is the integrated turn A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack. There have been few games to use a shared turn—the original Vs System had it, but it has since discarded it in the 2PCG revival, and Warhammer: Conquest A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack another—but it is a core element that helps make A Game of Thrones shine. In most head-to-head card games, with Magic being a prime example, I take my turn, I play my cards, and then I may or may not attack my opponent. My turn ends and A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack my opponent does the same. There are many players—and many factions—that actually prefer to be the second player. The integrated turn structure creates constant interaction with your opponent, because they only take a part of their turn before you are immediately responding or anticipating what they have or are about to do. A Game of Thrones never feels like solitaire. Military, Intrigue, and Power This highly interactive dynamic element to A Game of Thrones is further enhanced by the three challenges system. In most card games there is only one type of attack initiated by a player each round. You simply attack and try to do damage to your opponent, whether it be against their life total or their Capital Board or whatever abstracted, damage-based win condition exists. However, in A Game of Thrones a player can initiate three challenges a turn, in any order that they like: Military, Intrigue, and Power. Cersei Lannisterfor instance, only has an Intrigue and a Power icon, so she can only participate in those two challenges. By having three challenge types, characters are imbued with additional flavor while also creating a more dynamic board. Combat phases are often the heart of most head-to-head card games, but where in many games the decision making boils down to timing when to finally attack or not and whatever responses to that attack each players might havein A Game of Thrones the combination of each player having three attacks to make each round and the fact that defending a challenge requires a character to kneel essentially tap, and thus not be able to attack or defend a later challenge creates a complex, tactical experience for both players. I may make challenges that I cannot win simply to force you to defend them and thus protect myself from your attacking back. The fact that each challenge can be made in whichever order a player likes adds to this. Sometimes, I may want to attack you in Military first to clear your board, but others I may need to do a Power first to get you to kneel defenders so that I might be able to win an A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack, too. In that case, which do you value more, the power on your House card A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack the cards in your hand? Tournament rounds for the game tend to run 50 to 60 minutes, with only one game played, when many other games can play two or three games in that time. However, after having loved playing these longer, more involved and invested games so often, I find those shorter games of Magic or whatever alternative underwhelming and unsatisfying. Losing in ten minutes to a single well-executed combination feels dull now. How have they made this game better? A Game of Thrones LCG: 2nd Edition - The King`s Peace Chapter Pack

This is the list I used to Win World's. Check out our podcast on Monday for a detailed deck breakdown and tournament report. Nope I never got access to that list, we built it ground up and were tweaking last few cards til the night before. But I guess at that point, what do you cut? Looking forward to the analysis. Very interesting deck with many card that can put pressure on opponent character. During the tournament which A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack that you found it hard to deal with Champ? Thanks guys! And yeah cutting cards like Ilyn is a huge part of why A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack won, all will be revealed on the podcast! Congrats again man. Sweet looking list. The deck didn't change much from the last couple of chapter packs. BillyDooku i have to agree its very similiar to other lanni wolf however their was not much change before worlds. Cough"Canadian Nationals"Cough. Gratz man. Its reign of terror must-come-to-an-end. Whether alongside Dragon, Wolf or Winter, it's those fuckers all over. C'mon fucking ffg its easy, they havetop cards, and other houses onlyexample baratheon only have 5 really good cards, Stark maybe 8, but Lanister have a lot before locr. He is the nr 1 reason they go from very good cards to close to broken faction. You must plan for almost any eventuality against them, while they A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack have the luxury if not having to think to far ahead - reason they make good competitive deck, because not particularly difficult to pilot. I have never played them competitively and I am afraid to say the results from Worlds will just reinforce those in our relatively small metas here in South Africa to play more Lanni so far we have had pretty diverse fields, but I think that is about to change after worlds. Whiskeyjackza Yeah, for a number of reasons, Tyrion is toxic for this game. There's simply no reason to make events cost gold, so as to prevent the control abuse endemic in 1. But, there's not only Tyrion. Why did the DT also decide to give A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack the best cancel in the game? Why did the designers decide to give them the Ambush mechanic too? And I do not believe there's a single soul who doubts that Ambush is, in reality, a Lannister keyword so far, even though a few other houses got a few scraps. And leaving all these aside, why on earth did they decide to introduce First Snow in an environment where it was clear right from the start that the house with the already most powerful cards in the game would take the greatest advantage out of it? I play this game for five years now and never did it cross my mind to ditch it, even during the King's Road cycle nonsense, but I'm seriously considering packing up and going. Such favoritism to a single house at the expense of all others is simply unbearable. I'll just wait A Game of Thrones Lcg: Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack the next FAQ. May it come soon. Fuck them. Congrats for the wining! What happens with: "if you play tywin, play 3 seals and thank me later! The seals were in the original version as keith said, and as loathe as I was to drop it, the game has changed. Seal was only overperforming against bara and was very much a "win more" card in almost every other matchup. Nice podcast guys! After watching the part of Deck explanation I wonder why you dont put any single Rickon in the deck? Tournament Regulations. World Champion 1st Place Deck 1. Draw: 1 2 7 all Reset.
