I read that some people were saying that PBtT doesnt need this, but id be happy to draw into this and Cersei first turn. drawing this for setup makes claim 1 plot more of a feasible turn one option, and if you can pull it off, claim 2 becomes just plain bonkers.

I agree that it is pretty great, but with a limited number of event slots what do you drop to make room for this is typically the issue.

Yea, I personally think I would include this, but I don't play the deck that much. Just seems logical to destroy their hand as much as possible. Also this works on defense too...so you can defend and win a challenge and take two of their cards.

First let me say that I'm coming at this from the view point of a Lannister player who plays characters who don't kneel and plots to control rather than plots to not kneel and characters to control. (Ie. I can't attack with every character I play on the first turn.)

1) Let's say you don't draw it first turn, do you want this card to be one of your 2 cards drawn second, or even third turn?

2) Win by 4 or more isn't the easiest condition to meet, and if you do meet it, would you rather have your opponent discard 2 cards of their choice or kill a guy of your choice, because personally, I'll take kill a guy 99% of the time.

3) PBtT is a rush deck, in general rush decks shouldn't be winning by 4 or more on the defense as you need to use your characters for the offense.

4) Lannister already has some amazing events, events you don't have to jump through hoops for.
I concur that the problem with this is, whilst making them discard extra cards is nice, there are too many good cards to go in a Lannister deck, whether it is rush, control, or hybrid.

If this and Cersei are in your opening hand, you still need some way of either making Cersei stronger, or having someone go in with her, whilst making sure if they do oppose it that you still have +4 Str over them.
