House of Thorns had the best suite of plots yet in a box. Wardens of the South was a solid pick up for Tyrell, Trade Routes is huge and Nothing Burns has a place. I thought Besieged would be a sleeper hit giving value to some powerful but underused cards but haven’t heard of it making much of a splash. Maybe Conclave and maesters can change that.

Bored with the moving parts of catapults, Greyjoy’s maesters have begun experimenting with simpler weapons, nets and axes. The Citadel Novices in particular have taken an interest in them and appreciate the help of their new friends the Raiders from Pyke in getting their toys into the hands of those who need them. Pick your time to drop a Throwing Axe on your Besieged turn and someone is going to die. Tired of Second Sons hoping in to oppose your challenges after stealth has been declared them? Teach them to fish, and send them on their way to the nearest lake with a net. No need for a restricted list now.

Of course, you can still just play good Greyjoy cards and mess with their locations, too. That’s not bad.

Game, set, match.

You’re welcome.

I love all the Besieged stuff (Axe, Net, Theon, Balon, Longship etc.), but I don't understand why you chose Conclave. Ballabar and Caleotte are useful, but I'm not sure that they justify running Conclave. I think perhaps Crossing might be useful; Theon and Balon are even harder to block, Besieged helps to limit the amount of retaliation you can face after your 3 attacks. Alternatively, Banner Tyrell with 4-cost Marge and some strength altering cards might be cool. Marge is almost like a mini-Besieged herself, and can take out big cards on the intrigue challenge, leaving the likes of Victarion or Asha to dominate the mil and power challenges. Strength altering can help with Balon and Theon, as well as to force through Besieged challenges by force instead of stealth. Just some musings.
