Beyond the Wall, Season 2 Episode 26

Beyond the Wall Istaril Darknoj JCWamma Tomasz B. ratatoskr Lauren F. Podcast Gencon Tyrell

Click here for the podcast.

Our last episode before Gencon! We bring you the news of the week, including 2 new podcasts, 4 FAQ5.5 tournaments, and a partridge in a pear tree. Maybe not that last one. We poach JCWamma back from another podcast to talk specifically about the 52 person Battle of Blackwater Bay, and how it might influence Gencon, and follow it up with "The Fitch That Wins" to talk about Tyrell in 2.0, as well as the Kingslayer deckbuilding rules for Gencon. Both Tomasz and Helmut drop by to promote their upcoming August tournaments, the Flea Bottom Fracas and Brawl at the Crossroads Inn. We close off with some information about where to get your Gencon fix if you're not coming, and what to expect from us at Gencon.

Oops! I guess there's no Mace in the core set after all.

We're these guys in 1.0? Never would have thought I'd see them in the core set! Cheeky.

They were in the form of Lady Olenna´s Guard, but not as two different characters.

First the Lannisters break up, everyday I wake up: Somebody got a problem with Mace.
What's up?  Those cats gettin' madder cause Highgarden gettin' cheddar and the family moving out the Reach.

Mace getting disrespected for Paxter and Randyll is brutal.

Well, to be fair. It would also be Nedly to have him arrive later. Just like in the book.

Pretty sure that the Portland winning deck ran the Red Keep shadows card as its restricted and not Fear of Winter. The guy who was 1st in swiss had fear of winter though.

There was atleast one other Stark in Top 16. Petar Stefanov entered with Stark HoD.

Sheesh, No Garlan Tyrel, and No Mace! Guess you have to leave something for later.
Still, 2-cost characters always make my gold curve happy. Especially when they can become 2 for 3 bicons that don't kneel.

Left and Right are bad on a level I find offensive.

I think they look really fun, but I do realize that they completely depend on each other to go from zero to hero.

Nothing better than 2 characters who will only be used as claimsoak, ever, who only become worth even being that once you have both of them out at the same time, when there's no chance you're running multiple copies of them due to being unique claimsoak characters, and those characters taking up two slots in an evergreen core set.

Thanks for the mention on the podcast guys! I am bringing my GoPro to GenCon and hope to get some Thrones 2.0 casual matches posted at least. Maybe I will get lucky and FFG will let me film some of the games in the cut of the 1.0 or 2.0 tourneys. Hopefully the hotel WiFi is good and I can upload videos from GenCon to my channel here : https://www.youtube.com/robstjohn

In our regional there were like 6 martels and 3 in the top8, i assume 50% had cyvasse but didn't see the conclave.  I had to go through 2 in my way to the final and it was a pain.

Doesn't Targ have two with renown, Khal Drogo and Jorah?

Knowing what we know of the gold curve in 2ED, I find it very hard to be down on Left and Right. Having a couple 2 drops like that who can eat some claim instead of my Queen of Thorns is exactly what I want.

JC's point about it being evergreen is good, though; the fact that we will have Left and Right forever, but not Mace and Garlan seems a little silly.

They will be eternal if they are released in a Tyrell deluxe expansion, however.

What was the twitch link? He says it a little too quickly with that accent for me to understand. Starkspeartwitch did not pull up anything ;) or was it stocksparetwitch.....

Dark Sphere is the name of a UK FLGS, so I'm guessing darkspheretwitch

Portland was won by Targ HH running The Red Keep as its restricted card.
