Hey everyone!
One of the things that I was told when I was first starting out is that one of the better moves that you can make is to buy a second, or even third copy of the core set to get more consistent decks and to have more utility cards and plots (Like "A Lannister Pays His Debts", or get more plots).
Just wanted to let you all know that while I was looking for christmas presents and doing my holiday shopping on Amazon, I figured I'd get something for myself. I found that you can get a sealed, brand new copy of the core set for about $20.
Just figured I'd let people know the cost savings there, and also show a nice cheap way for people to get into the game (I'm thinking about buying more and giving them to friends to try and pull them in).
