i mean, Heliod kills Elspeth in a fit of rage and/or jealousy, and he's very clearly supposed to be mono-white. it's not like white characters are perfect angels; they can have lapses in judgment too. like Diakonov alludes to, i think it's important to separate out "bad personal habits" from a...

i think book 3 is the best, or at the very least it's my favourite. but i agree that the Sansa and Bran chapters would put me to sleep.

We do have a Google Hangouts where I'm pinging people when it's their turn - idea blatantly stolen from Rob Dennis! - but I'm not sure if people use that at all, despite needing a Google account to edit the sheet.

i now understand what Lucas means by "i've gotten into a few arguments about this before so i'm reluctant to participate" edit: good points about green, i see what you mean about its philosophy about letting things be Khal Drogo wanted to conquer the seven kingdoms for Dany, though, no? that...

i think the split in Tyrion seems to come from people viewing his late book 3 actions as "calculated and planned for a long time, and serving justice in its own way" versus "impulsive, rash, reckless". honestly not sure which side i fall on. also what does it even mean for a character to be...

Okay, I haven't even received everyone's email addresses yet, but Jeff has kicked off the festivities. He was true to his word - mill deck, here we come! (except without the unplayable dreck like Glimpse the Unthinkable) Watch us here...

if you do decide to read the books, i would stop after book 3, it turns into unreadable dreck after that. speaking of which, has anyone finished book 4? or book 5? thanks for adding Bronn and Tywin, i'd forgotten they showed up prominently in book 1. someone explain the Hound to me - the...

Randomized pick order

Sweet. Line up is set! Everyone please PM me with your email address, and I'll send out a Google Docs spreadsheet invite to your email.

ok guys stop beating around the bush and tell me where you think these book 1 characters slot in terms of colour pie Ned Catelyn Arya Jon Snow Tyrion Cersei Jamie Joffrey Hound Robert Petyr Baelish Varys Daenerys Viserys Jorah Mormont Khal Drogo

Yeah, current Modern ban list in effect. I wouldn't worry, I doubt most of us will know what we're doing, either. That's the beauty of it!

yeah, i think the most interesting part is ideology. i mean, i'm not much of a custom card guy, so trying to make mechanics for Tyrion Lannister or Sansa Stark is not what i was thinking. nor flavour, because flavour changes so much from set to set and block to block. plus the flavour of the...

I'm not sure when Rotisserie caught on fire lately, but between the Modern roto draft that's making the rounds (the one Marshall Sutcliffe is participating in), Rob Dennis's recent cube roto, myself partaking in a Khans of Tarkir roto draft at work, and Jeff running a roto for his local...

i guess i'm less interested in "custom cards made from game of thrones characters" and more in "where do these characters align with the colour pie philosophies that magic's defined" e.g. if Dany is :r::w:, that's cool, we don't need to picture her fighting alongside Brion Stoutarm

i've read the books (well, up until halfway through four, anyways... first three are great but man is the fourth one long winded), but haven't thought at all about where the characters lie on colour pie. lay it on me, you've clearly thought about this, and i'm curious to know. if other people...

Yeah, totally fair points, Rob. I don't know how you feel about looters - your Merfolk Looters and Compulsive Researches - but those are some examples of cards that are strong on their own, but are even better with synergy, specifically with Sidisi and other graveyard shenanigans in Sultai. I...

new project: divvy up all of the game of thrones characters across the colour pie i agree with Oberyn and Jamie Lannister being red, not sure about Daenerys

as with most problems of this nature, i think it's best solved with a 30 man over-the-top-rope royal rumble, last man standing takes all

...apparently i haven't been a discerning user all these years, and was clicking on every individual forum to get to new threads. to think there was a better way all along..! okay someday someone should sit down and explain to me how this forum software works

Hey Rob - no idea if you or your playgroup is interested or not, but I figured I'd capture some fleeting thoughts before my increasingly limited memory purges them entirely. Below is my draft post-mortem of the first 22 rounds, as much as I can remember it...
