Expanding Core Set Baratheon

By King Jareth, in 1. AGoT General Discussion

Hi all.

Me and three friends have recently got into the LCG and after a few Core Set only games the urge to expand has kicked in. I've gone for Stark so bought the Lords of Winter set, another friend has got the Kings of the Sea set (yes he knows its only got 60 cards in it) and the third has bought Princes of the Sun. The last of our merry band wants to play Baratheon but with no handy deluxe boxset to buy he doesnt know what to get to expand his deck building choices.

We only have one Core Set between us (and aren't planning on buying another any time soon) so with that in mind if anone has any suggestions for 3-4 chapter packs that could tide our Golden Stag over until Kings of the Storm that'd be much appreciated.

Thanks

Well the upcoming chapter pack, Rituals of R'hllor will be a good one for Baratheon as its got extra focus on them.

And honestly the Kings of the Storm is right around the corner in the next couple of weeks so its not a long wait, though it seems like forever to me too.

at the moment i suggest Wolves of the north cause it containst seat of power (location limited 0 costed discard to reduce the cost of next bara card you play by 3) and loyal guard (char little costed that you can play as dupe on a noble char).

Then I can suggest you cards but usually you have only one of them in a singular CP so it is up to you to which cards you prefer the most:

I personally love:

Renly from the cycle of Ravens

Fox Teeth

Black Cells, Queen of thorns and Kingswood Trail from KL cycle

Melisandre from Defender Cycle...

I suggest you to use all instrument you have to check bara cards out at the moment and make your decision :-)

Now we have several sites to check.

and you can try make some online games with OCTGN2 so you can understand better "what you want" ;-)

and then as another gamer has already told you... the Bara expansion is around the corner ;-)

Have Fun and Good Games ;-)

Also, consider that "Kings of the Storm" (the deluxe Baratheon expansion) should be arriving in stores very soon.

Yes i one of the 3 friends :) I have bought KOTS just out of interest really and will exand the GJ deck in the future but i really need to expand the Targaryens in a similar way to our friend building on the Baratheons. Lucky him has a box set coming out soon as you have mentioned, any sign of a Targ exp or should i just take your advice and check through agot dbler and see what i can get to bulk out the dragon. Maybe i will get lucky and there will be one that has great cards for Targ and Greyjoys!!

I'm one of the other friends and I'm the one getting Princes of the Sun.

Any advice on Martells?

Also check out the Chapter Pack that comes with Bannermen of the Storm (Epic Battles maybe?) Its an older one - but the baratehon Bannermen are the best stand effects in the game.

about martell absolutely the CP with Venomus Blades.

Your guys best bet is to use one of the card seach sites, like, http://agot.dbler.com/ and look at the cards in each pack and then figure out which packs to buy and split on them. The current cycle where it has 3 of each card and a focus in each of them on some extra cards for one of the houses is a good start for sure.
