The Grand Melee - 5 Most Dangerous Women

Jan 31 2013 06:00 PM | bigfomlof in Game of Thrones

Welcome back to The Grand Melee - Psych 101. This installment of Psych 101 is the companion article of last week's and in it we'll be taking a closer look at the Melee format's 5 most dangerous women. As I stated in the prefatory comments of the previous article, these cards might not be the best of the best, or even the best version of a card as generally accepted here on this site.

Quill & Tankard Regulars - Issue 20

Jan 25 2013 06:15 AM | CardGameDB in Game of Thrones

Horrified, the young apprentice looked at the mead dripping from the old Archmaesters beard onto the greasy floor of the Quill & Tankard. He dared even not look up to face his eyes.

So. No going back now. He would never obtain that Valyrian Steel Link anymore.
