Cards in hand.

[Cards in hand.]

If you ask a player how many cards are in their hand, do they have to answer you?

Any players in the area?

"You" on cards always refers to the person playing the card, AFAIK.

[Problems playing against a deck]

The majority of houses seem to have an issue, except Targ burn I've found, but the guys I play with don't like me playing targ burn cos they "don't have any fun" in those games so I rarely get to use it. 

 

Complete card pool? Umm... have all expansions and about 40% of the chapter packs, but I've no issue printing proxies and ordering new packs.

[Problems playing against a deck]

He plays HoD on the gates of winterfell and plays it every marshalling to try and bring in free characters. 

 

Everything about this deck just seems to scream against everything I know about deck building. But he's played it several times and it just seems to work. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

[Character control issue]

Hi guys,

 

My friends were playing a game and a ruling issue came up. Bob was a Stark Bolton theme deck, Dave was Targaryen Dragons deck.

 

Early in the game Bob used Reek to take control of Dave's Viserion. A few rounds later Dave wanted to play Viserion in marshalling. What's the rule here? Can Dave bring in Viserion even though Bob controls a copy? I've only been aware of the character being dead stopping any others from being brought in.

 

Thanks!
