Card ideas?

By chaos28, in 1. AGoT General Discussion

These still discussed on the boards? Am I in the right place? Had an idea for a card while watching the season finale the other day:

DRAGON EGG
House: Targaryen
Type: Attachment
Cost: 2 Gold
Traits: Item. Boon.
(+1 Influence)
Dragon Egg comes into play knelt.
Marshalling: kneel and discard Dragon Egg from play to choose one: take 3 Gold Dragons from the Treasury OR search your deck for a Dragon card, reveal it to all players, then place it into your hand and shuffle your deck.

The idea came to me when (SPOILER!) Jorah told Dany she could sell the dragon eggs and live wealthy, and she responded that she wasn't given them to sell.(END SPOILER)

not bad, I think the comes into play knelt though would keep me from running it. 2 gold is a lot to risk on an attachment making it through to the standing phase.

Yeah, I was thinking that maybe coming in knelt was bad... my logic though was that you can turn around and discard it immediately for 3 gold, so it would basically be a discard for 1 gold. Actually, that's okay, what am I talking about? You're right, take that part out.

there should be a way for the Greyjoys to claim land instead of killing someone as claim for military

A raider that replaces Mil claim with location claim?

Love it.

The Wall
3-cost Neutral Location
While you control a Night's Watch character, opponents cannot claim power for their House when they win an unopposed challenge against you.
Characters do not claim power for Renown during challenges in which you control at least 1 participating Night's Watch character.

Harren The Black
Cost 5
STR 3
Ironborn, Lord, King
Mil, Pow
Renown, Intimidate

While Harren The Black is standing, your unique Greyjoy location are immune to non-Dragon cards.
Marshalling: discard one power from Harren The Black to choose and kill a character of STR 2 or lower (STR 3 if you control Harrenhal)
Limit one per round.

---

Harrenhal
Cost 3
Neutral
After Harrenhal comes into play, choose a House: Harrenhal gains that affiliation.
Challenges: kneel Harrenhal and 3 influence to choose and kill a non-dragon char of STR 3 or lower (STR 4 if you control a King char)

Harren the Black was my first choice for Stahleck card... it was bounced in a second :-)

See now, I think you're missing an opportunity here. How about:

After Harrenhal comes into play, choose a House. Harrenhal gains that House affiliation.
After an Intrigue challenge in which you participate resolves, the winner of that challenge may choose a House. Harrenhal gains that House affiliation.
After a player wins a Power challenge against you, Harrenhal loses all House affiliations.
Challenges: If Harrenhal has your House affiliation, kneel Harrenhal and 3 influence to choose and kill a non-Dragon character with STR 3 or lower. Any player may use this ability.

It probably needs to be cost 2 if you went that route....

The Mountain That Rides (Unique Character)
House Lannister
Cost 3
Lord. Knight. House Clegane.
Deadly, Infamy, Renown
House Lannister only.
Str 4, Military Icon, War crest
Power on other non-House cards does not count towards your victory total.
While participating in a military challenge, all defending characters lose Deadly.
After The Mountain That Rides is knelt as an attacker in a military challenge, choose and kill a non-unique character with Str 2 or lower if you have less cards in your hand than each opponent .
Response : Discard three power from The Mountain That Rides to save The Mountain That Rides from being killed, then he claims one power.

I guess you could just call him Gregor Clegane, might shorten up the text

Know what'd be neat? A cycle of cards just for the HBO series, that represents the slight changes. eg, Catelyn being more willing for vengeance, a House Stark Theon card (to represent more loyalty), and a more powerless, but maybe cheaper Robert. Also a more clever Pycelle, and maybe and Illyrio that represents him meddling more in Westeros (as per the Arya in the dragon catacombs scene finally confirming that was indeed Illyrio scheming with Varys). I dunno. The only definite idea I had was a Roz card:

ROZ
House: Neutral
Type: Character
Cost: 2 Gold
Strength: 1
Icons: Intrigue
Traits: Ally.
Any phase: kneel Roz and a Lord character you control to name an event card you have not played yet this game. Search your deck for a copy of that card, reveal it to all players, and place it in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards. Limit once per phase.

Represents her being the character that people seem to tell history and exposition to.

Also, I like the idea of a Greyjoy card that can discard or occupy land without relying on a military challenge. Maybe a character who takes control of a location after an unopposed Power challenge?

House Tyrell House Card

House Arryn House Card

Hourse Tully House Card

~Yeah, because putting up with sh*tty sexposition wasn't bad enough in the show. We need to export it to the card game. lengua.gif

Or they could just reprint this Victarion .

~No kidding?

Yes, problem to get permission with legendary char :-(

Ps indeed your version of HArrenhal is very very interesting! Let's say that we designed them (italian forum) to be together... too bad Harren was "un-creatable" :-(

Never saw that one. I got out of the game around the releasing of Valyrian Edition and just got back in about 2 months ago. That is a good Victarion though, seems like a good reprint idea.

Harras Harlaw

Lord, Ironborn

House Greyjoy only

3 cost

3 strength

Military and power icons

War crest

Harras Harlaw gains Renown and Deadly while attacking.

Opponent's characters cannot be saved while participating in the same challenge as Harras Harlaw.

And a character ability that I'm not entirely sure on, I wanted it to be something flavorful from the books. In the books, he lays siege to a castle called Grimston and kills seven men with his Valyrian sword Nightfall. This causes the septon of the castle to surrender it to him, thinking the gods were on his side. He's a knight in the books, but I thought adding too many traits would be considered overpowered. He could technically be considered a raider in the books as well, but for the same reason I didn't add that trait. I've thought about a few variations for character abilities such as:

Response : After an opponent's character dies, draw a card.

Response : After you win an unopposed challenge, draw a card.

Greyjoy needs draw pretty badly, so these would be helpful, just don't like the fact it's so Blackfish-ish.

Response : After an opponent's character dies, stand Harras Harlaw.

Response : After an opponent's character dies in a challenge Harras Harlaw is participating in as the attacker, take control (or discard) of target location.

And I had another idea for having his deadly hit multiple characters instead of just one, based on him killing seven men. That would obviously be extremely powerful.

Harras Harlaw
did have a card in the CCG. But like Littlefinger, he went by his "common name." He was simply "The Knight."

Guarded Chambers

2 cost Attachment

Condition, Boon

Attach to a location you control

Response: After a Noble character you control is declared as a defender, choose up to X Kingsguard characters you control. Those Kingsguard are considered to be participating as defenders. X is the strength of the Noble character.

While you control a Kingsguard character, if a Noble character you control would be killed discard a power from your house card and kill (cannot be saved) a Kingsguard character instead.

Not sure if it should cost more, but i think its vulnerability as an attachment on a location balances it. Kingsguard is my favorite trait, so i'm always hoping to see more support for them, and i've got several cards dreamed up for if i ever get to design a champ card :) This one would help get more mileage from Kingsguard characters both by getting them into intrigue challenges and defending while knelt while (hopefully) remaining Nedly by triggering off a Noble.

The text would be getting pretty long, but there could be some great bonus but also a huge drawback if the location it attached to was the Tower of Joy. Something like:

If attached to the Tower of Joy, Noble characters gain immune to opponent's card effects and do not kneel to defend. If you lose a challenge, kill each Noble and Kingsguard character you control, and discard a power from your house card for each Kingsguard sent to the dead pile.

but that might be getting carried away. Just thought of another while writing this up:

Tactical Positioning

Neutral Event

Play at the beginning of the Challenges phase

Kneel a War Crest character you control. For the duration of the phase, players attacking you cannot declare more attackers than the number of Kingsguard characters you control.

Should be a one-gold card with ambush that discards for two gold. It'd function a bit like Myrish Villa during summer, except that it'd be a one-time shot (without recursion).

I actually like the idea of influence more than gold. Maybe a 2-cost ambush attachment with "[+2 Influence]. While standing, Dragon Egg counts as 2 strength during Dominance. Marshalling: Discard Dragon Egg (cannot be saved) to search your deck for a Dragon character with printed cost 4 or less and put it into play." Too much? gran_risa.gif

Name: Fiery Sacrifice
Type: Event
Affiliations(s): Baratheon
Trait(s): Raven
Text:
Any Phase: Discard X cards from your hand to stand X characters.

Littlefinger - unique

Neutral - s2

3-strength

Intrigue, Power, shadows crest.

Lord. Ally.

Stealth. No attachments.

Response: When Littlefinger enters play from shadows, take +X gold from the treasury and add it to your gold pool, where X is the number of cards you have in shadows.

OR

Response: When Littlefinger enters play from shadows, choose a non-neutral location of cost X or lower. Take control of that location. X is the number of cards you have in shadows.

-----

Knight of the Laughing Tree - unique

Stark - 4

3-strength

Military, Power

Knight.

Deadly. Renown.

While you control a Lady character Knight of the Laughing Tree gains "When you declare Knight of the Laughing Tree as an attacker, kneel 1 influence to choose a character controlled by an opponent. That character must participate in the challenge."

House Arryn house card !!! comon just go for broke and just add house tyrell and house arryn in a core set expansion containing both of them, call it Houses of Torns and Talons

Raid on Shield Islands

Greyjoy Only

Event Card

Replace the Claim of a Military challenge in which at least 1 Radier participated by choosing to take control of 1 of your opponents locations

Agree with what someone said about Greyjoy badly needing card draw eariler. Old promo King's Landing helps significantly if you play a location-heavy deck, like a Warship deck or something, but that's still vulnerable. Liking a lot of the cards I see above, especially the Harlaw one.
