Surely you can scrape together a few coppers to keep the king's peace.
- Ned Stark, A Song of Ice and Fire, Volume I: A Game of Thrones

Hello and Welcome Back, Loyal A Game of Thrones Fans!

This week's card preview is short, but hopefully sweet. The A King in the North Chapter pack will be rolling out soon, and we hope the cards featured below, among the others that will be coming out with this pack, will add some fun and options to your decks. The theme of this week's spoilers is cheap, that is, cards that cost one gold.

There are plenty of reasons to love cheap cards - large setup drops, for one - but in an environment where Winter's White Raven (The Winds of Winter, F24) looms dangerously over one's income, whether you're playing for or against the season changes, having cheap cards becomes even more valuable. There is plenty of incentive for players to run Winter decks (Winter Marauders, Ranger of Winter, Deep Freeze, Frozen Sea, etc.), but with some low-cost help, the cold won't kill you.

R'hllor's Blessing gives Baratheon a nice little strength boost, but it also has the advantage of occupying zero deck space, assuming you have an eligible character to play it on. Drawing the right card at the right time can make all the difference in a game, so it's nice to have a card that helps with that, especially in a House that is less well-known for its draw power.

Climbing Spikes will give those of you running Wildling decks some nice location control, especially if you've got enough Wildlings in play to make this attachment difficult to get rid of. Of course, this may give your opponent's even more incentive to kill off your characters, but hopefully you've got the Wildling assault going strong when this attachment rolls out.

Finally, House Targaryen gets some low-cost Stealth with the help of one of its signature representatives, a Dragon, in the form of the White Hatchling. This card is nice on offense with its Stealth, as well as its Trait that opens up nice effects with cards like Dragon Bite (Ancient Enemies, F38) and Dragon Attack (A Change of Seasons, F56). It is also nice on defense, with its two icons for Military and Power challenges, uncommon among 1-gold characters.

So that wraps it up for this week's spoilers. Hopefully you've got enough loose change rattling around in your pockets for these cards to find their way into your decks and into play. Until next time!
