The new Jon Snow and Ghost

By armored_butterfly, in 1. AGoT General Discussion

Hello,

Ever since the new serie of chapter packs started, I've been expecting the new Jon Snow and Ghost. Now that they're out, I find myself uninspired by their new version. I'm not much of a competitive player, so maybe I'm missing something here... Any veteran player can point me in a direction that could lead making good use of these two cards?

thanks

Yeah, new Jon is hopeless.

But Ghost is very interesting card. Stealth for Stark is precious (if you play Bear Island you don't have many). I didn't play with Ghost yet, but here are some ideas:

You can return him if you anticipate Valar M.

Sometimes you have free gold and/or reducers, then you can return him if he is kneeled by Lanni or city plots and marshall him again.

If Ghost is your last character and you know you will lose military, then you can "save" him to hand.

You defended with Ghost and Lanni played I'm You Writ Small - you can abandon the challenge as above.

Some opponent's plots and characters rely on "fewer characters" - take him to hand to equal numbers.

If opponent revealed Threat from the North and The Dragonpit is out you have an option to wait this turn with him in hand.

And he is direwolf of course - see cards like new Shaggydog and the whole unrevealed direwolf theme.

When I saw the new Ghost, I was thinking it would be useful if LoW had a card which triggered when a direwolf (or even better, a card with creature trait) is played effect.
