I cannot apologize for our carpenters enough. I do, however, promise that once the gallows were complete, they were summarily executed and the people responsible for such subsequently sacked.

I want to throw in my two cents about Blackfish. I believe I share Patrick's enthusiasm for this card, for every reason he stated and the simple fact that Stark main (Fealty or otherwise) hurts for draw. If you use Fealty, you can get away with Gates of Winterfell, but when bannering, this is less of a viable option. While a couple of insight combos exist (Summer > Bran, Luwin > Robb), the best single-card solution is currently Ser Roderick (Hot Rod). And Blackfish is superior to Roderick in almost every conceivable way. Therefore I think he's an auto-include in Stark decks (2-3x) for the forseeable future. I disagree with Greg that he's really only going to be 3x in Tully decks. His draw is too important to every Stark deck. I think you'll see him 2-3x everywhere Stark is the main faction.

Lol link it

I'll edit this with comments as I go (currently at the end of Jon Snow talk):

 

- Greg, not that it flies against your "clunky combos" point, but you can also put power on the Blackfish with King Robb's Host :)

- Jory does indeed reduce claim, but not quite for the reason Luke implied - it's not to do with claim being applied at a certain point, but just that Jory dies at the same point as the other character, so if the other character is still on the board (which they kinda have to be in order to be saved), then by necessity so is Jory which means his Interrupt is still on the board as well. And without moribund, nothing's stopping him being sacrificed. Note also that it doesn't say "another" unique character, so Jory can also sacrifice himself to save himself from being killed, meaning if you want to run multiple copies you can do safely :).
