So with the release of the Learn to Play booklet came the instruction for making the preconstructed decks from the core set. However, if you look at the deck lists it should be noted that every deck, except for the 'Old Ways ' Stark/Greyjoy deck has 8 neutral cards. Stark seems to be on the losing end not just in the books but in the game as well. Whether this is intentional or not I'm not sure, but it does seem a tad strange.

Any clarification on this would be appreciated

No typo. It's correct.

There are 32 neutral cards in the Core, but one of them is Fealty, an agenda, so it's not added to the Learn to Play decks.

Weak :c

They really could have included an single extra (or a duplicate) card to fix that.

Or realize that for an already non-tourny legal intro deck, one less card isn't going to matter enough to throw off printer sheets and production numbers.

That's a very good point. It does seem a bit strange though that they chose to add 'Fealty' instead of an additional copy of something like 'Put to the Sword.' Not that 'Fealty' is a slouchy card by any means. I'm just saying that could have fixed this. I'd be fine getting that agenda in the first chapter pack. But I can also see that by adding that at the premier giving an additional deckbuilding variety for the Kingslayer tourney.

Fealty is a very usable card in the current environment, and this way it's evergreen with the core instead of phasing away later. Not to say I wouldn't have minded extra "put to the sword"s.

Fealty appeals to players who don't like mixing factions. It's a necessary inclusion to the Set.
