GenCon 2011 3rd Place Deck (Top Targ Joust Deck)

Aug 10 2011 05:00 AM | Twn2dn in Game of Thrones

I want to take a few minutes to discuss what I think is currently the most powerful House Targaryen build in joust. I don't mean to suggest this is somehow the "perfect" list, but just that the Maester's Path agenda is clearly the best...

How to Build Martell (Control)

Mar 25 2011 05:00 AM | Twn2dn in Game of Thrones

As a Martell player, I thought I would break down what I see as two of the most competitive archetypes (as of spring 2011; pre-Maesters of the Citadel). These are both control-oriented builds, which play on Martell’s strengths. Other non-control builds...

It was a toss up this week between Targ burn and Martell Maesters. Our very own cardgamedb author Imrahil327 took down Fresno with what I think is the best deck in the current meta. I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to plumb the depths of this world beater.

First Tilt - Expanding House Martell

Jun 12 2012 05:00 AM | Paladin in Game of Thrones

We continue with our series of articles exploring how a new player might affordably expand each house into a reasonably competitive deck build with only a few purchases (2X Core Sets and 1X House Expansion + up to 6 chapter packs). Let us now venture away from the snow and rain of the north, south along the Kingsroad, past King’s Landing, all the way down to the sunny southernmost reaches of Westeros, to explore House Martell...

First Tilt - Expanding House Stark

May 22 2012 05:33 AM | Paladin in Game of Thrones

Welcome back to another edition of First Tilt! Over the next few weeks, doulos2k and I are going to tackle a frequent question among new players: what do I buy next? The basic answer, of course, is another core set and the house expansions. The reasons for this were covered in a previous First Tilt, so we won’t repeat them here. Instead, we’re going to address what you should buy after the second core set and the house expansion, and what you can do with those cards.

First Tilt - Expanding House Greyjoy

May 29 2012 05:19 AM | doulos2k in Game of Thrones

Welcome back to your weekly edition of First Tilt! Last week, Paladin started our new series that explores how to expand our basic recommended purchase (2X Core Sets and 1X House Expansion) into a more competitive deck. We're requiring no more than 6 Chapter Packs, and we're trying to stay focused on the newer 60-card packs. This week, I'm going to be focusing on the Ironborn!

On Building a Targaryen Draw Engine

Mar 17 2011 03:56 PM | Twn2dn in Game of Thrones

House Targaryen boasts many of the strongest cards in the game, including (arguably) the strongest locations and attachments. Forever Burning (Core) and The Hatchlings' Feast (ASitD) are at least on par with Martell’s renowned events. In addition,...

First Tilt - Deck Archetypes: Targaryen

Aug 14 2012 05:05 AM | doulos2k in Game of Thrones

This week, we start a new series where we'll be breaking down the basic deck archetypes for each house. I know that when I first started out, I had no idea what all these words meant: Burn, Rush, Aggro, Raider/Mill, Choke, etc. So, we thought it might be helpful if we covered the basics of these archetypes and a few cards that typify how they work. Keep in mind that this is just designed as a basic primer to educate new players on the basics of these themes and not meant to be in any way comprehensive.

Each week, Paladin and I will focus on a particular house and talk about three basic themes found in that house. We'll then break down each of those themes (in basic form) and talk about the strategy of that theme and some key cards. This series won't be featuring any decklists, but we will try to link to any good deck lists that we know of that illustrate the theme we're discussing.

First Tilt - Deck Archetypes: Stark

Aug 21 2012 05:13 AM | Paladin in Game of Thrones

In discussing deck builds, veteran players will often toss out terms such as Burn, Rush, Aggro, Mill, Choke, etc. But what do these terms mean? Last week, Doulos2k began our series on the basic deck archetypes for each House by covering the major archetypes fielded by the Targaryens in their quest to once again claim the Iron Throne and rule over Westeros. This week we shift focus away from the fires of the Targaryen dragons to the snows and wolves of the north.

The Things I Do For Win – Greyjoy Maester Choke

Apr 27 2012 05:05 AM | clu in Game of Thrones

There hasn’t been a more dreaded archetype during the LCG era. Choke uses Greyjoy’s inherent affinity with winter and location control to restrict opponent’s resources. The size of an opponent’s hand become a non-issue when they have zero gold to play...

First Tilt - Expanding House Lannister

Jun 19 2012 05:00 AM | Paladin in Game of Thrones

In this edition of First Tilt, we continue with our series of articles exploring how a new player might affordably expand each house into a reasonably competitive deck build with only a few purchases (2X Core Sets and 1X House Expansion + up to 6 chapter packs). This week we cover the powerful Lannisters, a wealthy and ambitious House hailing from the western end of Westeros, extracting riches from their gold mines and containing two of the most powerful figures in Westeros: patriarch Tywin, one of the richest and most feared men in the land and a former Hand of the King, and Queen Cersei who schemes from King’s Landing to advance the House to even further power.
