Somewhere, Josh Woodward is rocking slowly back and forth, sobbing softly. "They loved me once. Long ago...in the danger zone..."
Priest of the Drowned God: A 3-3 bicon is not that good - Courtesan of the Rose is a vanilla 2 for 2 bicon, which is better than a vanilla 3-3 bicon. It also lacks the Ironborn trait, and the only Drowned God synergy we've seen *at all* is his own ability. I'm not saying he's not efficient (especially with multiple copies!), but for overall power level I wouldn't say the sky is falling yet!
I mean, at the moment, he probably wouldn't slot into my GJ deck...
I no, I didn't want to insinuate that the sky is falling by any means, but it did make me wonder, as he's above the curve that I expected.
43 minutes in, these are my thoughts:
First 5 minutes in: "F*uck this, F*uck that, F*uck, F*uckin." Well this is no longer a cast for my kids to listen to.
This is certainly not a cast for kids to listen to. We used to have that rating, if it's gone, sorry.
I dislike comparing 1.0 cards to 2.0 cards. The goal in each is to get to 15 power, but the means of getting there are just so different right now that the comparison doesn't hold.
I don't think I'd run Priest for the int icon. Having the icon on a chud isn't the point. The point is having it to protect your big guys.
Great cast today guys. Any chance we'll get some exclusive chapter pack spoilers soon?
I remain unsure how much hand attacks matter at this point. Are you really saving that much stuff?
Good idea... Will?
Hand attacks matter more now that people are catching on to the value of Varys. Also, it forces your opponent to commit heavily if they want cards from your hand.
Are people catching on to Varys, or are you playing my decks a lot?
Varys should be meta defining. I'm happy he's becoming more so. Control gets a huge push between him and ... well, you know.
Both. The last 3 decks I have personally built run 2x Varys and 1x Calling the Banners (1 of them runs 2x). That Varys -> Marched play is just so good in this meta.
I run 3x Varys always. In a battle, you don't always want a hand grenade, but it's batter to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
More likely he's thinking "Just wait until 3rd edition comes out. They will all grovel before me!"
Excellent episode, folks. Excited for future Kizer appearances. #kizerhype
Thinking about the reveal of Bruno's plot - I think y'all should do a segment on the importance of resets in Thrones. Both on a strategic and tactical way in 2.0 games but on a game design level for both editions of the game.
In my opinion, with the core set and spoiled cards, the only real problem with Thrones on a structural level at this point is the lack of a really good reset. WF is kind of crap and Varys can only go so far. First Snow helps but it is not quite there.
*whew* Back from a busy weekend to find quite a few comments. Thanks, guys!
@Tetsubo517- My apologies, Tetsubo. I'll try to remember to note in the future which casts drop the f-bomb.
@Scantrell- Great question about preview cards! Alas, I'm at FFG's mercy on that one, and I don't think they'll be ready to send out more CP previews before the core set is in everyone's hands.
@starhawk77- Ha, if he ever even realized we utilized his music, I would be impressed!
@everyone else - I'll be back again later!
The idea that every card in your deck can be used as resource is pretty common to other card games. It's a pretty neat idea but isn't that exactly what having Old Forest Hunter is? that's how I use him, he lets you discard cards for gold (limited once per phase) so I draw with Samwell/Littlefinger/Raven, discard some cards to have extra gold and so forth.
I can see an agenda that lets you discard a card for gold limited 2 for round or something like that.
