Working on some more cards for play testing. (Check out New Card Lab Vol.1 here.)
Card #6 - " Grey Goose Fletching "
- Type - Weapon
- House - Greyjoy
- Cost - 1 Gold
- Text - House Greyjoy Only. Challenge: Attached character gains deadly and Naval Support. If attached character has a printed deadly keyword, it cancels opponents deadly keyword when participating in challenges .
- Quote - "The boar can keep his tusks & the bear it's claws. There's nothing half so mortal as a grey goose feather." — Theon Greyjoy
- Idea - In theory, a deadly archer should cancel out a deadly swordsman or spearman. Maybe not a beserker with explosives though, "Bring him down, Legolas! Kill Him!" This ability gives a tip of the hat to the Double-Strike of MTG, but also gives excitement to the let down Thrones players feel when two deadly characters cancel out in a challenge. It also brings in the Naval Support mechanic.
Card #7 - " Podrick Payne"
- Type - Character
- House - Lannister
- Cost - 1 Gold
- STR - 1
- Trait - Ally
- Text - Deadly. Pay 1 gold and kneel Podrick Payne to save a noble Lannister character in play.
- Quote - "Sir, I Mean my Lady, Sir, Ma'am. Sir..Ma'am."
- Idea - There hasn't been a Lannister save card outside of Guilded Plate and Clansman Tyrion . This one seems worth a look into any Noble lion deck.. It uses gold like a Lannister should, and is, I think, the first pay gold and kneel Lannister ability.
Card #8 - "The Twins"
- Type - Land
- House - Neutral
- Cost - 2 Gold
- Trait - Westeros
- Text - Verison #1 No Attachments. Challenge: Kneel The Twins. Then each player may choose and kneel 1 character they control. The character with the highest printed STR knelt in this way gains control of The Twins.
Unique characters you control do not kneel to defend during the first challenge initiated each round.
2 Influence
- Version #2 No Attachments. Challenge: Kneel The Twins. Then each player may choose and kneel 1 character they control. The character with the highest printed STR knelt in this way stands and gains, “Character does not kneel during military challenges this round.” If no one kneels a character in this way, claim 1 power for your house.
- Version #3 No Attachments. Challenge: Kneel The Twins. Then each player may choose and kneel 1 unique non-army character they control. The character with the highest printed STR knelt in this way stands and gains, “Character does not kneel during its first challenge initiated this round.” If no one kneels a character in this way, claim 1 power for your house.
- Idea - The Twins should haev a cost that needs to be paid to posess it. Its true in GoT and in SoS. I also think that the Freys profit in power for their unique castle, this giving it the ability to gain power for your house card in Version 2 & 3. It has the essence of Into The Lists plot, but brings a very Freyesque flavor to the game. I did not eliminate army characters from this text, because armies need to cross The Twins. Particularly good in a melee, and with version #1s the 2 influence it can help any player. I really wanted to move it to 3 influence, but I didn’t think it needed as much influence as The Red Keep , Which version, or combination there of is the best?
"Walder Frey"
- Type - Character
- House - Neutral
- Cost - 3 Gold
- STR - 4
- Trait - Lord. House Frey
- Text - Renown. Response: After participating in a winning challenge against an opponent with a Lord or Lady character in play, you may shuffle Walder Frey into its owner’s deck to kill 1 Lord or Lady the opposing opponent controls. Limit once per round.
- Icons - Intrigue & Power
- Idea - Pretty Straight forward. Tries to kill lords and ladies. The only down side to his response is that he would lose renown power for being shuffled back into its owners deck. But, its a good card to have if a lord or lady is causing too much trouble.
​As always, reply back with additions, subrtactions, and ideas of your own.
