Beheading Ned - Fire and Blood

Oct 31 2012 05:05 AM | OKTarg in Game of Thrones

Welcome back to Beheading Ned, CGDB's series focusing on story-based, or Nedly, play of the LCG. For the past several installments, this space has been exploring the playstyles of each of Westeros' great houses and how they reflect the personality of George R. R. Martin's characterizations in his epic saga, A Song of Ice and Fire. Fortunately, I have saved the best for last!

House Targaryen is my favorite of the houses, and was long before I even cracked open my LCG Core set. From the very beginning of A Game of Thrones, I was drawn to the story thread of the disenfranchised monarch.

The Grand Melee - Psych 101: Ambush

Oct 25 2012 05:06 PM | bigfomlof in Game of Thrones

At the time, I thought this was largely due to the obvious depowering of Lannister cards for the set in order to let other houses catch up with them a bit. Now that I’ve read back through the set a few years later for this column, I think I’ve realized another, more subtle portion of my apathy. There just aren’t really a many good Shagga cards in this set.
