Looking for some comments from AGoT fans. So far, how is the 2nd edition? I am still waiting on my copies. No Canadian store has it here in Canada so I have to buy from the states.
Love the new card back and layouts. Love them.
Still not sure about Night Watch being a house. It just makes no sense to me. It was cool to have it as a "sort of faction" back in the LCG days when they released a tournament only Night's Watch vs Wildlings deck. It was cool to have it as a "sort of faction" when Agendas came about. But to have it now as a REAL faction, in the core set no less, seems strange to me. I can understand it better if it was released in an expansion, may be a Nights Watch and Wildlings themed one, as real factions together or as neutral-turned-factions like how they are doing it for Warhammer Invasion's last expansion, or even mini standalone factions like in Netrunner's new expansion.
What is the general feeling towards that among AGoT veterans?
Lastly, after looking at preview art work, so glad they used Valyerien edition Jaime as the core set card art. But disappointed they didn't use the Valyerien ed Cersei (lying by the fire) as well. The Cersei art right now isn't so good. Ah well.
Also glad that Influence and crests are gone! Never did like those rules.
