Beric Dondarrion + Devious Intentions = Nigh-Untouchable Power Bank?

By Eldil, in 4. AGoT Deck Construction

Beric Dondarrion (4) (3 STR) (MIP)
[Neutral Character]
Brotherhood. Knight.
Renown.
If you have no power on your House card, Beric Dondarrion cannot be killed or discarded from play.

+

Devious Intentions (1)
[Lannister Attachment]
Condition.
Attached character gains infamy, stealth, and an icon.Attached character gets +1 STR for each power on it.

If you link up this combo before you win any power, all power can go on Beric, and as long as there is no power on your house, Beric cannot be killed or discarded. The only ways I can imagine this being dismantled are:

a) he is returned to your hand due to a card effect

b) he is hit with milk of the poppy or some other attachement

Also, you have a tricon with renown, stealth and steadily increasing strength.

The Devious Intentions could also be hit with any attachment control card, but still it's a pretty nifty combo : )

Also Head of a dwarf will 'force' Infamy so there's another way to keep him around

Nightmares is a wonderful card. I predict that soon it will be 3x in every deck.

Yup. Pre-plot Nightmares into Valar is just going to ruin Beric's day.

if im running Brotherhood Beric and i run into someone with Eastwatch by the sea is there a way for me to move the power off my house card after hes moved it to my house card? or would i lose all of Berics Thoros and Toms abilities from that 1 power? for the rest of the game?

In reply to Jack Merridew this card event would solve your problem as a Lannister and there are probably similar cards for the other house I just came across this first. You would need to lose the power off your house cards or those brotherhood charaters you mentioned would lose their abilities, if I read them correctly.

Favors from on High Favors from on High

[Lannister Event]

House Lannister Only.
Any Phase: Discard X power from your House or from cards you control to take X gold from the treasury and add it to your gold pool.

Thank you that at least solves it for Lannister, now i need to find one with Martell

Lady Stoneheart obviously and Besieged Shipyard. There is no other card at the moment.

Lady Stoneheart ahdn't been released when i asked the question

but having her does completely changes things

I know, that's why I said "obviously".

3x bronze shield should help the nightmare situation, so would starfall adviser if you could make him Dayne

I can't imagine to let Beric without any dupes or save tricks to see that happen..

But you're definitely right, nightmare is a... nightmare gran_risa.gif
