First off, i had a question about participating characters... all characters used during the first challenge are considered participating, right?. Would they be considered particpating during the next challenge as well? Like can i use a deadly ability twice? I attack with a deadly guy and my opponent defends with a non deadly,, he kills off one of his characters because of the ability. When it is his turn to attack, he attacks me with a deadly, but would i be able to use the guy that is already kneeling with the deadly from the previous challenge, or no?

Also, I keep getting my ass kicked in this game. I dont know if we are playing it right, or i just plain old suck at this. I am using the dragon house and my buddy is using the stark house. Would someone be able to help me construct a good deck with the dragon house, or give me some pointers? I want to destroy this turd nugget!!

Thank you!

Hey there Mark! First of all a character has to be standing in order to be declared as an attacker or defender, unless otherwise stated. So most characters can only attack or defend for one challenge. Therefore the answer to your question would be no.

As for the second part of your question I don't have time to post an in depth answer, so I'll just leave you with the snarky response of "burn all his cards."

If you're new to the game then you're probably playing the wrong house. Targ are the most difficult house to win with 'out of the box', and to be fair they aren't really the easiest house to win with at the best of time. If you want to beat your friend, play Baratheon ;-)

Here is a good thread for some strategy and deck building basics.
