You might get more US players than Canadian!
First of all, thanks for the high praise! We do have a bit of an outline, because we have to line up guests in advance, but we really can't set anything in stone as we haven't heard from all of our planned guests.
I'm interested in hearing why everyone included Northland Keep. I've seen some people using Borderland Keep, but rarely Northland. Can you explain what you've been seeing in the meta that makes Northland a good choice
On the other hand, it's not all that great against most of Martell and Targ right now, so it may wind up being a meta-call that gets cut with tweaking, but with the refugees (and spearmen) it's at least rarely a dead card. I think part of it is the new/shiny factor - I've only played against it (not with it), and it's made me re-evaluate challenge math in a way I'm not used to. I figure if I can put that kind of pressure on my opponent, he will slip up.
I appreciated this cast a lot. Thank you.
1 cost in general is useful to smoothen out a cost curve and favour better setups. This is especially true in a deck running winter and KoW, that wants to reliably have fewer cards in hand than its opponent.
The Dromon is good enough to warrant a place in some decks, but 2 cost locations that make it into many are few and far between (Longship Iron Victory, Meraxes, Great Pyramid, Golden Tooth Mines, The Scourge).
One thing I would love to hear (though there may not be time) is a little debate on what each of you believes should change in another person's build and why. You did ask for people to defend their choices, but it would be great to hear a little different take from each of you as to what you might think should be a little different in the build someone else put together. It might help listeners who might have a slightly different playstyle than the person who initially built the deck.
Just a thought - not a critique. I absolutely loved this cast.
Where is this rumour coming from and if it is a possibility when? Need to set up vacations and childcare and what not if a 13 hour drive is gonna happen
Northland Keep is money. I think originally I believe it was underrated(still may be) but it's great for some form of challenge control. It works good in tandem with Frozen Outpost to push through offense.
Currently working on a Martell no agenda with Quentyn and it's great to have decks to test against. Like having 3 variations of Stark to test against that I didn't build since most of my "play testing" is vs myself until I've tweaked it enough.
*edit* Btw, really digging the podcast you and darknoj have put together. Keep it up and can't wait to hear the other House podcasts.
Another great episode.
