I haven't played Tully in a long time but I'm kind of liking this card.
It's a powerful card.Normally if the opponent is not a Stark he/she will have a hard time to win a mil challenge against you . The only problem with this card is the Prized 2. Imagine that you have in play 2 of them and the opponent Valar's you----> he will take 4 power.
Prized 2 is too much. I'd rather they have prized 1, and a bit less STR. Prized 2 is too much of a risk with something so fragile, and with kill so readily available.
I'd say the bigger risk is the anti synergy with cards like The Bastard's Elite, as their downside (swap sides if you lose Military) was negated by using them for claim. Cards like Lucas Blackwood and Kyle Condon are a little less useful with this guy out too.
Not enough of a disadvantage to not take it though!
Stealth Blackwood Elite and bye bye.
It's a 3 cost Army with No attachments (burn/Mel's Favor protection), Str 6, Deadly and Renown. In a house that probably isn't losing Mil challenges unless you're doing something wrong anyway so the downside is mostly irrelevant. There's enough cancel available to protect from kill events so it's only really Valar you have to worry about, same as with any other character. And it's House Tully with all the synergy that brings. I'd say Prized 2 is a bargain!
Edit: Hell, you could blank it with Meera/Nightmares before the challenge resolves to negate both it's downsides completely. Still a bargain!
I mostly play melee; when there's three other players, even Stark loses the odd military challenge. When there's a bonus 2 (or even 4) power dangling in front of you, you're toast unless you've *really* got the murder machine humming along.
And maybe I'm doing it wrong, but my Stark decks rarely have enough cancel to deal reliably with Lannister or Martell shenanigans.
Red Vengeance could be a problem against Martell though.
Don't forget you can always blank with Meera if you foresee a definite need to kill a different character for a round - or if you just wish to get rid of the Prized 2.
Dear Experienced-Players, could you explane me basic rules:
- what is "Prized 1"/ "Prized 2"?
- what is melee?
Bless you, Nikolap
to prevent my following question about basic, where can I read such rules?
i only have the rules from the core set and it's quite poor
