The Kentucky Fried Meta

By King of the Saltwives, in 7. AGoT Metagame Discussions

After an an extended absence from the game, the KFM is back in force!

Over the past month or so, we've been boosting our cardpools with installments of the LCG, with both the chapter packs and the core set, organizing support from a local comic shop (who has been amazingly supportive of us getting the meta back into gear), recruiting our members both new and old, and shrugging off the rust of being out of the game.

Despite the lack of Greyjoy( I'm wagging my fist at FFG until July haha), everyone around these parts are pretty enamored with the new cards, etc etc. With in the next two weeks we hope to have a consistent day of play like we used to at the new shop, so things will be getting back to normal. I think I speak for everyone when I say we missed the game, but just as much if not more, the community, and all of you great guys and gals.

Let the Invasion Begin!!!!!

And Staton, we did all of this under your nose! Hope you like the suprise. lol.

Awesome! This, coupled with the amazing turnout for Ktom's this past weekend, is the best news this community could've had! I think the community is finally coming back together, and your guys' timing is just about perfect! And once the GJ expansion comes out, I really think they will be the top house in standard(ITE and up) and right up there in the LCG. Wintertime Marauders is crazy good!

Also, yeah, this did come as a surprise! I was thinking you guys weren't gonna get back into the game! Well, show's what I know! So what is your favorite card from the chapter packs?

Indeed the KFM is back and kickin. Its about time we show yall what we are made of once again muahhhahahahahahahahahahhaaaa

Mine I haveta say out of the chapter packs in Alannys Greyjoy, or Salt Wife. lol. Gotta love intrigue in GJ. I love Al's power, and same with Salt Wife, which in a weird way is Nedly to me. lol.

We should be getting an organized tournie next week, so far we are only looking at 5 or so, but king and i have been calling the banners and getting some of the old meta back together along with some new...i have to say to those who aren't as stoked about our return..its Staton's fault.

I will gladly take credit for this! lol So got some new folks in the mix too, huh? That's always a really good sign. Alanys is a dirty *****! at least if you aren't playing her. I am really wanting some more bara winter stuff. and hopefully, its asshai! What I wouldn't do for Bearer of the Light and Glory of R'hllor back!

Matt, I have been looking over the lcg cards for ideas for bara decks. The result? I've got nothing. I think you would need to use at least cards from 5ke to make a cohesive bara deck, and there are even some cards from the ite block that I'd want to use. Hallowed Ground for example. But hopefully there will be some badass cards from the new KLE chapter packs!

Whoot!!! The KFM is back!!!! You should give Geoff and Chrome Raven a call and see if they're willing to venture south of the river. (Is this where I make lame Mason/Dixon jokes... or try to find the spelling for the melody-line of Dueling Banjos?)

And KotSW... do I really have to point out about what the subtext of your choice of Fat Bob as your avatar is? You could have at least gone with a non-house only event like Seductive Promise, or maybe Bodyguard, as part of the GJ save theme. But you didn't, and we will silently judge you for that..

<that kid from Christmas Story>I want my T-Shirt!?!</>

Great to see you too Matt... I think the proximity of the KFM to Origins may just encourage me to make this trip happen. Now if only I could find a string of girls to offer me gas money to pay them a visit....

This is just too scary to contemplate. No one let Staton find his way to Roseville, he might get arrested... Hrm. On second thought, Staton, the address is 1975 W. (I was gonna continue, but you can google it yourself, and that lets me off the hook as an accomplice. Mayhap I should ask Lars for a legal review of this situation)

staton. yeh the synergy is not there yet for bara in LCG only...nothing ive been able to come up with "outside the box".

lucas. i am sure we could take up a donation for the "get luke here fund"...but getting you back may result in bribing travis with cuddle time for gas money...

Hahah. well, my avatar choice was kind of spur of the moment, and when you have matt over your shoulder saying, do that one! It's kind of hard to refuse haha. I was disappointed at the lack of GJ avs, but i got over it, i do have a special place in my heart for those crazy Bara's. Hopefully someone will add some F'n Grejoy av's after the expansion comes out.

And it would be amazing if you could swing by here around Origins, we should have things good by then.

You know what card I want to come back for Bara? None. They can all die.

I would take King Balon's Command back though. Even though that will never happen.

dude King Balon's Command would be superlame! you might as well bring back longship raider!

well salty it looks like you but 200 pounds heavier...and he is doing crazy hand gestures.

well if greyjoy gets balon's command, then bara should get chosen back...and any davos but the one LCG has. I am not fond of him...

HAHAH. S on that. Chosen is more devestating than Balons! I would pee. No deal. lol.

Oh man, Chosen would be money too! I am King Here would probably work a bit better, but Chosen will always be a badass card. What about AToS Knight of Flowers? Now THERE'S a card that needs reprinting! lol

Lol this is what we need. Bara on Bara man love. lol. And no Knight of Flowers thanks.

i would love to have TOS knight of flowers back...i donno if anyone has ever abused him more than i did in a deck....and please no renly jokes lol

and since when do you play any of those games salt? lol

Lol i knew this was going to get brought up. lol. the symmetry is what gets me. lol. I couldnt just stand having one slot not looking like the rest. lol. We did play UFS before lol. A few times. lol. The others are stretches. lol. For instance, Kingdom Hearts, i liked the game? lol.

~it's cool...poser.

i hate my deck btw. lol

sunofbitch. Lol. now ill change it.

and i had forgot about this ~

Ahhh. Its good to be back.

Lol and what do you hate about it? I'll prolly just buy 30000 chapter packs and make a LCG only Greyjoy like i was saying. I dont like playing with standard while everyone else isnt.

well i got my chapter pack today...some pretty cool stuff. i like the bara location but the guard is eh for play right now.

I was happy with the GJ stuff overall. I was more jealous of some of the other things, whether i should be or not lol. Wharf Rats looks to be fun. Not a game breaker, but annoying enough to be attractive. Kraken Tattoo (i think thats its name) is good as well, should make salt wife easier to run, seeing as how I'm completely smitten with that card.

A new throne has emerged...one from time past, ready to claim the future...beware...

cue melodramatic music....Thats Brian everyone. He's the man.

how the crap you gonna oust my name like that! LOL i went from being cool and sounding all bad, to just being an average deck player...sigh... ima have to get a new screen name now haha

oh and yes you are correct... i am the man...but so was/is sam/gregory so i dont know if that counts???

Well i didnt think youd call yourself Staven to the guys in the meta that didnt know you yet lol. Youre a good secret we've kinda kept.

Trust me you're still as cool as ever.

~Although i don't know how cool that really is

oh and FYI Staven, ~ means i can be a d-face. lol. It symbolizes a sarcastic comment. hahah
