All Things Shagga - Tax Is A Four Letter Word

Jul 04 2012 10:15 PM | Devastacia in Game of Thrones

Happy Independence Day, or if you are one of our international friends, happy Wednesday! While many people will be out camping, at barbecues, and engaging in general drunken debauchery, here at Card Game DB we are celebrating the holiday in the most American way possible…by talking about Heavy Taxes (APS). At the Bay Area, California monthly tournament last weekend, I saw this card pop up for the first time, and I have been thinking about the ways to exploit it since.

Crimson and Gold - Enemies of the Crown

Jul 04 2012 05:26 AM | Rave in Game of Thrones

Yes, fellow Lions, the pretender kings are everywhere. Let us use the next few articles to take a look at our enemies, and some of the builds that work best against them. Not silver bullet concepts necessarily, but Lannister decks that just happen to match up well against others.

The Things I Do For Win - Targaryen Knights of...

Jun 29 2012 05:05 PM | clu in Game of Thrones

Removing threats from the board is king. Stopping challenges mid-phase causes opponent fits. The pure card economy afforded to the house of dragons is embarrassing. The reason this deck doesn’t keep dominating top eights is finding the right amount of resources needed to keep it running smoothly.

Quill & Tankard Regulars - Issue 3

Jun 29 2012 05:05 AM | CardGameDB in Game of Thrones

Today we're having our second issue of Beware the Sphinx and taking a look back at a card that came out over a year ago in the Queen of Dragons deluxe expansion. People have spent a good long time playing with it, and probably feel that they should by now both know and understand it. Care for a wager? Let's see if the dim tavern light here at The Quill & Tankard can't illuminate some new aspects...
