2C1C- Episode 205

Early apologies- I badly misunderstood Pallisades.

DWDW spoilers:

 

 

 

The small council after Cersei's arrest:

• Lord Regent - Ser Kevan Lannister
• Hand of the King - Lord Mace Tyrell
• Grand Maester - Pycelle
• Master of laws - Lord Randyll Tarly
• Master of coin and lord treasurer - Ser Harys Swyft
• Master of ships and grand admiral - Lord Paxter Redwyne
• Lord Commander of the Kingsguard - Ser Jaime Lannister

Also, when you're discussing 2nd Ed cards, feel free to have this spreadsheet open so you don't have to try and remember what cards we've seen already. 

Something just occurred to me listening to the cast. The wording on the Master of Whisperers is:

'You may resolve your [Intrigue] claim against any number of opponents of your choice.'

 

So can that number be 0? Can you choose not to resolve your claim at all? If so I think this title is much better. If there are ways to get power of off winning Int, or you just have Int icons with Renown, you can probably bargain to net a free challenge win off of someone on the assurance that you won't discard their cards. Its also a really nice option for playing the good cop I'm-not-trying-to-hurt-anyone-here line, which is really fun.

I as a humble listener was really expecting a mention or even a discussion of the recent DC regional, the largest if I am not mistaken in the country. Maybe I skipped over it? Aaron was one of the most successful players there as well I heard. Didnt his deck win?

The episode was already running pretty long with the melee discussion and the CP review, but Aaron did throw out some props.

Wow.  Queen of Thorns sounds pretty awesome.  You could over commit in a challenge fully knowing that winning it will allow you to toss a Tyrell character into play from your hand for another challenge or defense.  Sweet.

What is the name of the tune playing at the beginning (just after the excerpt)?

The very first music there is Fight the Sea by Josh Woodward.

Really, Seth?

"You know the end is coming when Will & I agreed on the last 15 cards" - Aaron. 

 

Yup. 

I think I know why 4-5-1 is the best plotline, but I don't want to make the show worse by appearing on it...

Because 4-5-1 is the top stats before you have to start compromising. ie  restrictions, bad effects start to happen at 5 gold such as twist of fate, around 6 initiative gets lower gold usually and 2 claim usually has repercussions such as bad gold, bad initiative... there are exceptions...

I'm a little hurt that you confused me for Kizer, Will. It was I that was defending Palisades during our lovely brunch. And the Tulsa Targ HH is Alex's baby, and we all love it down here. But I felt my Targ NA was a stronger choice having beaten the HH a couple times now. I will let Kizer know you called him a jerk though, Glazer, haha. Has anyone considered running The Red Mountains to help trigger all of these really cool Sand Snake effects? It helps alleviate having to run the ACTUAL subpar characters themselves. I am running a Quentyn/Snake hybrid right now and it is pretty solid. I also agree that a better sendoff was deserved for 1st Ed. I like the box idea. I also would have REALLY appreciated one more decent Castle plot. Good episode, guys. See you soon, I hope!
