Can't wait until next week to get my copies! Alliance has me almost as excited as any other card in the set and this is an amazing set. Really changes the dynamic of the LCG.

The return of Attack from the Sea pleases me greatly - one of my all time favorite plots, and very underrated. Probably not as effective with all of the high gold plots in the LCG era, but still an extremely effective tactical and flexible plot.

Nice to get a version of Sarella - but no learned crest? Still waiting for a version of the Viper with a learned crest also.

Would have liked to have seen Nymeria Sand's Entourage reprinted.

I think Parting Blow was a good call for nuetral card draw - a reprint of Market Street would have been better than Dragon's Tail though (although now maybe I can get rid of a couple of my Westeros versions that are still sitting around)

Parting Blow is a cantrip... it was more intended to cancel board advantage when you lose a character while not losing card advantage (it neither gains you card advantage though).

~ I think the only people that ever used it were me and Stag.

This set makes me happy... Taste for Blood is my second favorite card in the game (behind Ancient Arakh), I (and others) were also advocating for something like Red Vengence probably since I began the game back in Winter Ed., I feel that it's a good thing giving Martell Vengence mechanics that don't nessecarily slow the game down, but rather force the opponent to think.

Doesn't Bay of Ice already work like a stripped-down version of Market Street - with a bit more interaction since your opponent gets the card if you don't have higher initiative?

Haha, I'd been wanting a card with the effects of Red Vengeance for years now, since back when Staton and I were doing our fantasy sets, but I wanted to call it Some Wars Are Won With Quills. Alas, I seem to remember someone telling us that the wording and timing for it would never work.....

Still, I'm extremely happy to see it enter the game.

At the time it didn't, and couldn't. The way individual framework events are initiated within a single framework action window has changed since then.

Thanks for the spoilers Gentleman Savage!

I can't wait till my store gets this in. Now if he can just found some copies of Kings of the Sea...still don't have one..

I like this set a lot so far. It's a little weird to get two copies of To the Spears! The art on Sarella looks nothing like I pictured her. I've never played with or against Martell so I'm looking forward to seeing how it works. It seems like the Dornish turn the major conventions of the game on their heads more than any other house.

Indeed they do. I'm expecting the turnout for our tournament this Saturday to be heavily Martell. Strange that one of my favorite houses to play is my least favorite to play against. *sigh* Oh well. At least I don't have to worry about Locked in the Tower.

my god the new martell cards are fun.

Red Viper w/ taste for blood is just fun. It screams for neutral attachment control even more, especially control that targets the attachment.

In a melee i used Arienne claim raise for the win.

I hate winning an INT challenge against them w/ Darkstart and that stupid Army. I also got darkstar into play due to an opponents rule by decree...sick.

Events.....where to start and I didn't even use the viper's rage. i might be putting barristan selmy in my martell decks just to get them back.....

Draw/Reveal, nice to have lots of ways to do it. I even stuck Tommen in the deck since Martell has no in house king.

They have enough renown to close (not quite rush)

then they brought back my favorite Hotah, Harmen Uller, and added things like Sarella and locked away.

Thank you for the spoilers. Looks like Martell will be an interesting addition. Looking forward to some new decks in the meta.
