2C1C- Episode 168

Top 8 Decklists coming soon!

Am I the only one who waited long after the podcast had ended for the "turn around" song?

I was sad when heard Darryl hating on The Cure.

Ah, shoot! Sorry about that, Thesaurus! Was rushing to get the show finished before I really needed to get some sleep. Can't believe I missed the outro. You'd think I've never done this before.

Our Regional was today in Halifax and I faced that Siege deck round one. As Darryl would say my opponent was "living the dream" with a first turn consisting of a, NCF , Syrio in Shadows, Hungry Mobs, etc... and 3 Epic Battles!!!! ( oh did I mention his 7 card flop?).....GG  heheh (Still made top 4 though, x-o'd the rest of the rounds, the streak is still alive !!!!!!!!!) But that Siege is BRUTAL when it goes off !!!!

You're missing x2 Cersei's Attendant on my list, and 1 other card I can't figure out. I was running 63 like a true Lannister haha...

As for the 'cast itself, another good one as always! I totally agree with Will that the problem card is Prepare for War, not Desperate Measures, etc. Infinite stand has and always will be game-breaking. The Bran combo still relied on infinite stand, just on a character and not an influence card. So it got me thinking, maybe the blanket 3x rule is a good thing if it applied only to effects that stand a card, as opposed to all triggered effects?

As for the report, very well done on all accounts. As much as you want to call Darryl a cheater, I think it took balls to replay that game with Mark. He simply could have said nothing and cruised right into the Top 4, but he didn't. Darryl, you're a winner in my mind just for that!

As for Kyle, I'm glad he tried something new in Springfield. This is a guy who has always inspired me to try new deck types and builds. It's not always about what is perceived to be Tier 1--this is A Game of Thrones after all. Gotta give a shout out to him for thinking outside of the box week after week.

As for me, I'm never going to forget about Pod again haha!

Thanks again for another good one, guys! I'm glad I've been able to become a weekly listener over the past couple months.

I NEVER announce deadly unless I want the unopposed challenge. Not my job ;-)

On Defense, I will frequently ask "Any Deadly?" and "What's your current strength?"

As regards the audio, Darryl and Kyle sounded fine, Will was a bit difficult to understand, and Aaron was even more difficult to understand.

Like Will said, in challenges, it's your opponent's responsibility to read your cards and know what's active and what's not. If they ask you, though, then of course you have to say.

I am intrigued by your deck Kyle; I think Stark has a lot of things going for it in the DWDW archetype: search to augment the draw, good Harrenhal fodder, and Luwin of course.

Ah, it's so good to hear people agreeing with me on some stuff!
