Isn't it too powerful? 3 gold for (almost) reset the board it's just insane...

It's not that strong since there are so many standing effects out there, and there are quite a few characters that don't kneel in the first place too.

If you don't expect it to be strong, do you still expect people to play it. Because the more people unsuspecting of it being played, the stronger it gets ;)

However if you go second, not hard in a greyjoy initiative boost heavy deck, your opponent will have difficulties attacking you without being wiped out. New KotHH deck anyone? Also many of the standing effects are baratheon.

Valar Dohaeris (TWH) anyone?

Valar Dohaeris (TWH) anyone?


It's not the same. This is unannounced and more valuable as it's kneeling characters.
I think what he's trying to say is that combined with VD, it's a field wipe. Or you use VD to threaten the opponent into kneeling to avoid VD, and then hit them with this.

Oh, good point then. With KotHH, that might indeed seem like a plan.
Would combining it with Before the Black Walls (VD) be a workable tactic? Either you lock out an opponent from their favourite challenge for a round, or eat the claim and wipe out their forces.
yea, thats what i was suggesting, threaten with VD

Don't you threaten me with VD, sir. I'm clean and chaste!
