Then drop and pop Varys turn 3-4 to clear the board. I quite like the idea of the Lannister control deck I read about somewhere, that can turtle-up the first number of turns using plots like Calm over Westeros and A Game of Thrones. To be consistent in the core-only environment you really need to build for recovering from bad starts.
That said the core does come with the tools to mitigate such strong starts with the likes of Wildfire Assault, Varys, Milk of the Poppy, Tears of Lys, etc. That said, if your opponent gets really good draw and drops a bunch of big guys you can’t deal with, you are kinda screwedĪye, the big guys in some factions are so synergistic that, if your opponent gets them set up quickly, the power multiplier on them is nearly unstoppable! Stannis, Robert and Mel are bonkers together!
I would say Netrunner definitely will always be the king of the bluff and diversion game, but of the games in which you bash characters against each other, GoT has got a unique thing going on, with the 3 challenge types and the absence of bad resource draw. As you would expect from FFG, it’s highly polished and well designed. Very cool how they’ve tied mechanics to characters. I was a book reader way before the show was even announcd (twirls hipster-stache), so the GoT world flavor/mechanics are fascinating. That said, if your opponent gets really good draw and drops a bunch of big guys you can’t deal with, you are kinda screwed. The plot mechanic is great to avoid the whole “I can’t find any money” issue, and there are many built-in control elements to mitigate some of the swingyness of the game. It’s fun to bash characters against each other–I couldn’t get into Hearthstone, and MTG is MTG, not getting into that.
I like the idea of playing a symmetrical game after so much asymmetric Netrunner.
