The Night's Watch Second Cycle Review

Got time for a big ass article about The Night’s Watch?Who am I kidding, of course you do!
Okay, maybe that opening is a little played out, but it makes for a super easy search keyword to find all these Facebook posts next year, so I’m going to keep doing it.
I did a cycle's end review of the Night's Watch and the cards they got that helped the most, helped the least and the cards that other factions got that impacted the Night's Watch the most.
I hope you all enjoy it. Do you disagree with any? Did I miss a card that you think is a pain for the Night’s Watch? Do you just hate the Night’s Watch and feel the burning urge to express that as often as you can? Please leave your comment below
.On February 14th, Jonathan Herr will be joining us to review Stark. Hope to see you there!

With Yoren, Thoren, and Qhorin all in the same faction, discussing the Night's Watch at length is beginning to sound a bit like reading The Hobbit.
What good stuff did NW get this cycle?
.....oh yeah, everything.
I'd put Craven at 1. Haunted Forest is good, but I find it easy to win a challenge and then go for unopposed. Often winning a challenge is what sets up the unopposed.
I dunno. Craven is an all around good card, but it is relatively easy to remove and complete garbage against NW's biggest threat, Baratheon (Because of Cressen).
Haunted Forest makes the Wall nearly impossible to take down. If your opponent is able to get two challenges through, the second of which is unopposed, they're probably so far ahead that the game is virtually over anyway.
At least in my experience. If you're playing to get the Haunted Forest knelt with the first challenge, you're often using a lot of stealth or other character cancelling effects. Then, the NW player can just let it go through and just kneel the Forest. Now they still have all their characters and you just spent challenge winning keywords/abilities/events to get that first challenge through, now you have to win an unopposed as well. It's a lot harder than you make it sound.
It also keeps Asha knelt, stops Balon and Fishwhiskers. It makes your opponent not get that unopposed power for at least one challenge.
It's game changing. Its release was the moment the deck went from competitive to tier 1, in my opinion.
But I also agree that Craven is extremely good. If you look at JCWamma's end of cycle polls, you'll see a lot of people citing Haunted Forest as the best card in the cycle and a lot of people citing Craven, so there's definitely validity with each opinion.
