Why start the chapter pack review on Lannister? Seems random.
Had a thought listening to you guys discuss "This is My Claim". While my initial impression, like so many people's was to think this card is just awful in every way I started to think, what about having this in a Tyrell build to discourage First Snow. They send your board back to your hand and suddenly you are able to get extra claim with your Randyll or KoF, etc. You aren't showing them anything new, it makes them pay for hurting your deck. At least its a use.
Don't get me wrong...acting as a single counter to a play that still royally screws your entire deck build that has very limited strength...still a terrible card but maybe I could actually see it use while First Snow is still ubiquitous in the meta (which I see ending with Valar anyways...)
The way I believe it was read out in the episode was that both players choose a character, not a character they control. Therefore if you choose your own character (with the thought of abusing their come-into-play effect, then your opponent with likely choose one of your characters too and you'll be down 2 characters to their 0.
I can see 3 main uses for the plot (although not sure that two of the decks exist yet)
1) Mini-curve deck - you'll get value by having your cheap guy bounced to their fat bomb
2) Positive attachment/all the renown deck - ensure all your characters are ineligible for bouncing and your opponent will also have to choose one of their characters to bounce back to hand (although I'm not sure if they could choose the same character as you do and just lose one guy)
3) Hollow Hill Control/House of Pain Build - if the agenda is the same and you haven't set up any cards on setup and maybe no characters first turn this could work as a stall plot (although again not sure whether if it's your plot you have to choose a character first (presumably one of your opponents) and then your opponent may also choose the same character that they control).
I was thinking "positive attachment deck" too. Not sure we have enough in any house yet however.
If any house gets mechanics like 1st ed Martell where they gain from less characters than the opponent, a negative attachment deck could be the way to go.
Yep, I completely misheard - its a completely different card than I interpreted. I agree, it will be best in a Hollow Hill type build (especially with Greenblood traders etc) or mini-curve.
