Do not be turned away by the cost of this card. King Joffrey's Guard is a wonderfully balanced card.

 

8 for 8 bicon (Mil/Pow) is decent but when you add in the fact that you can halve its cost by having a queen/king card in play makes it almost an auto include with any PBtT that runs 3x Cersei LotR. That's not even considering the kneel effect. With a Castellan of the Rock in play you're kneeling three characters 2 of which can't be army and one can't have any attachments.

 

Also, if you have an Arbor's Guard in play it further reduces the cost by 2. In my Lannister kneel deck I run 3 Cersei, 3 Castellan and 3 Arbors Guard so 9/10 times I have at least 2 out of 3 of those guys out when I play King Joffrey's Guard.

 

Finally the No attachment can be a boon in meta's that run heavy negative attachments/conditions which is the case in my current meta and the war crest is just icing on the cake!
