    @Nomos You're right, just because people play doesn't mean that their victories should count.

    The fact that FFG needs to drop rounds in order to "balance" the two formats is proof enough that the current system doesn't work.  I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to not count the first round(s) of top 8/16, especially since the top 8 games should be more difficult than swiss rounds.

    too much incentive for people to king make eachother.

     

     

    Such as?  I've been trying to think of any motivation that I could have to make someone else win instead of trying for it myself, and I'm coming up empty.

    It's not like there are big cash prizes to split.

    Apparently you hate your friends and don't want to see them succeed.

    Not really back, he was playing the same deck that was posted from the previous championship.

    Someone sounds salty.

    It doesn't matter if he used a deck from a previous championship.  If the same deck proved its worth in multiple tournaments, then it probably has some mettle.  It might not mean that it is a tier 1 deck, but it does mean that people should be coming to tournaments prepared for it.

     If you only need 4 people for a Regional, then eastern North Carolina needs to host a regional.  We have around 10 people (not always the same people) at each of our meet-ups (three times each month).

     

    On topic.  That sucks about your deck getting lost.

    You have to anticipate and counter flip the right plot (outwit), or draw into the right cards (attachments) and play them in order to protect your main character BEFORE they decide to flip the plot.

    It's not hard to anticipate a S&D that is going to mess-up your game.  If you have a Blackfish with 3 Power on it, then there is a good chance that you'll see S&D that next turn, or if you have a main character (such as Cersei) and you double duplicate it, then there's a good chance that you'll see S&D.  The opponent is not going to use S&D unless they have a good reason, and if they don't have a good reason…then it doesn't even matter.

    I don't like it because it makes deck building around a main character too risky. Blackfish in a Tully deck, Cersei in a PBtT deck, Beric in a Brotherhood deck, or any other powerful character that gets loaded up with power. You want to run dupes to protect against directed kill, but they are still bounced back. And when they have 3 or 4 power or more..I think its chicken sh!t.

    If you feel that Search and Detain is an issue, then build some anti-S&D in your deck.  It isn't difficult.  Simply add a couple attachments in your deck.  In the case of Blackfish or Cersei, Bodyguard works triple duty: it saves, it stops S&D, and it prevents some burn.  Or you could go the Plot route.  Outwit works if you are using Learned crest characters.  There are also 20-ish plots that have more than 5 initiative.  Many decks already run Retaliation.  So, play your Retaliation on the turn where you think the other player is going to use S&D.

     I see a ton of people freaking out about Targ Burn and this CP.  It doesn't make sense to me.  Yes, Incinerate is awesome, but how many more events/attachments can you really run in your Burn deck before it stats becoming bogged down.  Burn decks already run more locations/attachments/events than most decks; are you really going to be able to win with burn alone?

    In other news, it looks like Targs are getting an attachment version of the Forever Burning event in Harried by Dragons. This version is not as self contained as the event, but it only has a one time investment of 1 gold and it thins your deck also. Slap down a Lady D's Chambers or take Griff as your only agenda and you're good to go. Never starve from a lack of influence for running some small amount of burn ever again.

    You can only use the Response if you play it from your hand with gold.  Ambush is a "put into play" effect.

    I will not repeat the stats of already spoiled cards.

     

    1.  The Kindly Man

     

    2.  Turncloak  ---  Attachment --- Greyjoy & Stark
    Cost:  s0
    Trait:  Condition.
    Crest:  Shadows

    House Greyjoy or House Stark only.

    Attached characters gains the Traitor trait and the text:  "If you do not win dominance, discard this character from play."

    RESPONSE:  After Turncloak comes out of Shadows during the challenges phase, attach it to an opponent's character.

     

    3.  Ward --- Event

    House Stark or House Targaryen only.

    RESPONSE:  After you win a military challenge, choose a character of STR 2 or less controlled by the losing player.  Attach Ward to the chosen character as a Condition attachment with the text:  "Take control of attached character.  If the owner of attached character wins an Intrigue or Power challenge against you, discard Ward."

     

    4.  Hugor Hill (unique) --- Character --- Lannister
    Cost:  4
    STR:  3
    Icon:  I  P
    Trait:  Traitor.  Fool
    Crest:  Learned

    Stealth

    Discard Hugor Hill from play if you control Tyrion Lannister.

    If you win a challenge in which Hugor Hill attacked alone, instead of the normal claim effects, choose a character in the losing opponent's discard pile with a cost of X or lower.  Put that character into play under your control.  X is the amount by which you won the challenge.

     

    5.  Ser Kevan Lannister (unique) --- Character --- Lannister
    Cost:  3
    STR:  3
    Icon:  M  P
    Trait:  Lord.  Knight.

    House Lannister Only.  Stealth.

    If Ser Kevan Lannister would be killed, instead attach him to your House Card as your only agenda with the text:  "RESPONSE:  After you win an intrigue challenge as the attacker, choose and kneel a character."

     

    6.  Futile Gestures --- Event

    RESPONSE:  Discard 1 power from a Lannister character you control to cancel a triggered effect that chooses that character as its only target.  Then, draw a card.

     

    7.  Stannis Baratheon (unique) --- Character --- Baratheon
    Cost:  4
    STR:  3
    Icon:  M  P
    Trait:  King.  Lord.

    Immune to location abilities.

    While Stannis Baratheon is the only King character in play, he gains vigilant, renown, and stealth.

     

    8.  The Bastard of Nightsong (unique) --- Character --- Baratheon
    Cost:  3
    STR:  3
    Icon:  M  I

    Cost:  2
    STR:  2
    Icon:  I  P
    Trait:  House Tyrell.  Lord.  Ally.
    Crest:  Learned

    While Willas Tyrell is participating in a challenge against an opponent running an agenda, he gains renown.

    While Willas Tyrell is participating in a challenge, participating Lannister and Martell characters do not count their STR.

    Cost:  1

    14.  Harried by Dragons --- Attachment --- Targaryen
    Cost:  1

    House Targaryen only.  Ambush.

    Attached character gets -1 STR.

    RESPONSE:  After Harried by Dragons is played from your hand, search your deck for a card named Harried by Dragons and put it into your hand.  Then, shuffle your deck.

     

    15.  Incinerate --- Event --- Targaryen

    House Targaryen only.

    CHALLENGES:  Kneel 1 influence to choose a character and name a Trait.  Until the end of the phase, that character gets -X STR and is killed if its STR is 0.  X is the number of Targaryen characters you control with the named Trait.

     

    16.  Magister Illyrio

     

    17.  Volantis (unique) --- Location --- Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, Greyjoy, Targaryen, & Martell

    Initiative:  4
    Claim:  1
    Trait:  River

    When revealed, each player chooses a card in play which he or she controls and puts the chosen card on top of its owner's deck.  Then, if this is your revealed plot card, trigger the "when revealed" effect of the top River plot card in your used pile.

    Citadel Law says:

    "Plot: Kneel a Maester character to choose a player. That player must choose and reveal a new plot card."

    Can this event be used in the Plot phase before the first plots of the game are chosen and revealed?  The reason I question it is because Citadel Law says, "a new plot card," which makes me think that there has to be an "old" plot card already out.

     

     

    Shadow Parasite says:

    "Response: After a character's STR is reduced by X, Shadow Parasite gets +X STR until the end of the phase."

    Can this response be triggered from a Flame-Kissed that was placed on a character before the Shadow Parasite comes into play?  For example, the opponent plays Flame-Kissed on my 3-STR character during Turn 1.  In turn 2 the opponent plays the Shadow Parasite and activates the Response because of Flame-Kissed's STR reduction.  I don't think this works, but it was a question that came up in our play group.
