Beyond the Wall Istaril Darknoj Twn2dn Annals Setup Analyzer Thronesdb Deckbuilding Tools Podcast
Click here for the podcast.You may think this is an episode, but really, it's just an excuse for Istaril to talk about the NEW Annals of Castle Black. We very briefly go into some news, and then bring on NYC's very own Dan S. (twn2dn) to build a deck with us. However, to keep things a little different, we place the focus on some of the deckbuilding tools available to us; the Annals, Hypergeometric calculators, Setup Analyzers... Of course, the resulting NW deck is fun - but it's the tools you pick up that should ... we're aiming to teach a man to set a fish on fire here. And mixing metaphors. Finally, we sound off with abridged closing comments.

Need to update the new Annals to other Browsers as well. Currently only Chrome works as well.
All the controls are disabled for me in non-Chrome browsers. For it to work in IE, you might need to turn on Compatibility View.
EDIT: Turning on compatibility view in IE for the site worked for me.
New annals look really nice. Great job guys!
The setup analyser is awesome - great work, Jason! My one criticism, if I may, is the bias it has against one-character setups. I can see that being a mulligan condition, or trying to set up multiple characters is possible, but the fact that it would take, say, a 2-card, 2-character setup over a 5-card, 1-character setup seems like something that should at least be an option to turn on or off rather than rule number one. It's also an issue with mulligan strategies - what if my deck runs predominantly 4+cost characters, but should be able to set up 3 or more cards in total quite easily? Right now my only mulligan option for a 2-card setup also eliminates 1-character setups, even if that's something I'm not too worried about. I know Marched to the Wall is a thing, but it feels like it should be up to me the user whether or not I actually want to factor it in or not.
Otherwise, the tool is really easy to use and really helpful, and I would strongly recommend that others check it out if they haven't already done so!
