I've just recently purchased my first Core set for GoT:2ndEd - and it looks like it will be a game I am eager to get into. However I am somewhat new to deckbuilding for this game so thought I'd get some advice on the character % people recommend.
I recognize this will not be universal as each faction plays differently, but thought it could be a good "core" to base ideas from to the evolve outwards from.
So my questions (assume this is for a 60-card deck which, I assume from the set minimum, is the standard deck size):
- How much of a deck should be characters?
- How many of the character cards should be high value (i.e.: 6-7 Gold)?
- How many copies of the high value characters should you include?
- Should the majority of your cards be low-mid value cards (i.e.: 2-3 gold each)?
My assumption is a recomended starting 60-card deck should:
- include at least 35-40 characters (giving a 60+% chance to draw a new character each round) as they seem the focus of this "challenge-based" game.
- have 3-4 high value characters with two copies of each (6-8 total) so you have a decent chance of drawing them and even duplicating them for defense.
- have around 20 characters be gold value 2-3 (10 of each maybe?) so you will always have cards you can play even if unlucky with economy growth
- have the remaining cards be the filler gaps (gold values 1 and 4).
In my mind, that's pretty balanced with decent flexibility - letting you always feel assured you can Muster each turn regardless of what you draw. But again I'm not big on field XP. So what do ya'll say?
