I think you should go up to 3x of Alchemist Shop. The +2 bonus stack and you can have all 3 out at the same time so there is no reason not to run the max number.

Unless you are planning to not use the discard to reduce effect of your Summer Sea you are going to have a difficult time drawing into the influence to use Red Vengeance.

A The Broken Spear (SaS) instead of the Bronze Shield could be nice too, especally on Arianne.

So I added the extra alchemist shop and had it in my hand when someone plYed frozen solid on the one I had out which really helped keep my attacks unoppossed so I appreciate the advice. I almost always play melee so I usually pay for red vengence with hand of the king title.

And broken spear does seem extremely useful but im glad I had bronze shield out because killing lost spearman to cancel make an example saved the game for me and let me win on my turn with taste for blood and ellariaa


Big problem with balons host though
Areo Hotah (PotS) is Martell's best answer to problem characters.
