No mention of how Xaro can work with unique attachments from other houses either. Cards like Widow's Wail, Ice, Lady Nymeria, Heartsbane all trigger him. Personally I see him as a card that if you trigger once is cost 3 for str 4 bicon, which is decent value. Therefore he warrants a slot if you are running enough unique attachments. Niche for now, one to watch in the long term.
On Helya, she provides a power icon - how many other greyjoy 2 costers get that? Wendamyr is the only one, and you aren't running him 3 of for sure (well, maybe when we get a Maester agenda). Cheap power icons are rare and should imo be rated higher as a result.
Bless Him with Salt meanwhile provides the basis for a trap for the opponent combined with Throwing Axe. It is also really good on core Balon, often turning a lost challenge into an unopposed win. In a greyjoy voltron deck I think it merits a spot. Will be quite good with more Drowned God tech to let you move cards from dead to deck then draw them. If they could get a card that says all draw is from the bottom of the deck the pieces would start to fit nicely.
Completely agree on Ghosts itself though, I think its a bit of a trap. Its fairly statted if you get the card and your opponent doesn't.
Where can we see these Memes?
Memes are available here.
Quiet as a Mouse is somewhat acceptable on Left & Right. Still not really an effect that I feel is worth an entire card slot, particularly with the dearth of stealth at the moment. The main culprit is Greyjoy, of course, and they're almost certainly running Core Balon, which regates Left and Right anyway.
While we neglected to mention it, I still don't think that the unique attachment count when you add in other houses is quite enough to justify it to me. I'd rather have something like +1 gold for playing any attachment, so that I could try to craft an engine. As a spotty +2, I'm not terribly sold. Is it playable? Perhaps, but I could probably use the slot for something a bit more consistent. That said, I do agree that it's one to watch in the long term.
Sure, Wendamyer is the only one, but..... do you really need more 2 drop mono power icons in Greyjoy? I mean, out of all the things that I feel like I'm hurting for when playing Greyjoy, or would really hate to see when they're sitting across from me, that is nowhere on the list.
Core Balon is certainly the strongest play for Bless Him with Salt, but runs into some issues where, if I only get one challenge out of Balon, I generally want that to be military for a Seastone Chair kill, so that leaves Bless Him with Salt as a closer or requires an additional card in Seal of the Hand.
