Not just the Martell, the Greyjoy, Targ and Neutral. There are lots of pausese and then people talking over each other.
I feel the Targ cards are being underrated. I am with you (from what I could tell of the conversation...) on the Martell cards, the character is only a monocon and needs help with military. I tihnk in a lion deck it becomes very strong. Gregor makes everything easier...
Renly is better than Daenerys?
The idea behind Bear Island is that they are not wealthy people over there. The only thing house Mormont can offer to Stark is loyalty and loyalty is worth more than anything.
My apologies for the audio sync issues in the middle of the podcast earlier. This has been corrected and a new version posted.
Yes, Renly is better than Daenerys.
I think the Greyjoy king attachment is being woefully underestimated. You slap this on Asha, Theon, or Balon and max out on Black Wind's Crew for more triggers, you have the potential to get some quick power.
But are those cards doing enough for you on their own? You're pretty much looking at getting a 3 card combo that way.
If you want a 1 cost attachment that does work, why not give Asha or Balon an intrigue icon and cut out needing to see the third card?
The important thing with that Greyjoy Crown is the lack of a limit. You stick that on a character in a Pillage deck and it's just going to, with no effort on your part, get you power at a frightening speed. Particularly hilarious in a mirror (or if multiple decks of the same style are at the same melee table), seeing as it doesn't seem to specify that you have to be doing the Pillaging.
The rest of what you guys said was basically on the money. I do want to stick up for Visited by Shadows though - other than changing the trait (ideally to weapon, though thematically that would make no sense at all) I don't know how they can have that effect be better without pushing it too much? It's 0-cost, it's non-terminal, it's non-unique so they can stack. It's also not that weird out of Baratheon - it synergises with Consolidation of Power as well as obviously the Priestess; it makes Intimidate better, which while not a Baratheon theme per se is still relevant because of Bob; it has the synergy you guys mentioned with King Stannis and the Kingswood to prevent power challenges from going through; and it has an obvious synergy with dominance. So while it is weak, and just to clarify I would not recommend playing this card (yet?), I don't think it's quite the inexplicably-bad binder fodder it was made out to be.
Oh, and Oxcross is clearly designed to be an anti-First Snow card (as well as being great with Castermere like Aaron mentioned) - it beats it on initiative and says that you cannot defend that first challenge that's declared, short of dupes or ambush.
Great episode again ! Just listened to it at work.
The new cards debate/rating is always entertaining and you always hit on a few things that can be done with them that get my deck building brain going !
Bailing for the Second sons at the end was lame (sorry guys, I like tSS's as well and listen to it but ......show the necessary respect to the horse that got you to the show) just my opinion !
Danger Zone !
Lol, Wamma, let me know when you play Visited by Shadows in a deck out of actual application and not just spite.
Well I don't get to use the Baratheon cards in my household so that's neither here nor there
. If I did though I'm guessing the answer would be "not for a while if ever" though.
