The 5th installment of the King's Landing cycle, and it's another good pack to have for most houses, in this case, especially for the Targaryens and Martell.
Distribution of the cards -
1 Martell Attachment,
10 Characters, 2 of them Neutral, Lannister and Targaryens gets 2 each, the other Houses 1 each.
5 Events
3 Locations, 1 Baratheon, 1 Targaryen and a neutral location.
And of course, a City Plot.
The Martell attachment is an average attachment, good to have but nothing crucial.
Some of the characters are pretty good, but the Targaryens get the best from this pack. The King's Landing Assassin is an excellent addition to Targaryen burn or Shadow decks, while the Shadow Prophet is another good addition to Targaryen Shadow decks. The Baratheon gets the "does not kneel to attack/defend" version of the Knight of Flowers (again, that's reliant on anti-Shadow presence) and the Lannister gets Qyburn. The best character in this pack is probably Varys - the discard ally version - excellent to have in any deck who has space. All the unique characters comes in single copies, so, ya, much money to spend.
Aegon's Legacy is a must-have event for Targaryen Shadow burn decks - you get 3 per pack so it's quite ok to just grab 1. Lannister's Death by Payne is another commonly seen event card that is effective. The other events are nothing to write home about.
The locations in this pack is cool, the Targaryen's Visenya's Hill is just plain annoying, combining this little card with the Greyjoy deck depletion tech is just evil, but even with a single copy in a Targaryen deck it can be really threatening at times, especially if used in combination with the other Hills. The King's Landing neutral location is a good card-draw addition to decks that play lots of King's Landing cards.
The City of Spies is an ok City Plot.
Targaryens and Lannisters, grab this one, no question if you're playing Shadows. Other Houses don't really need this pack as badly.
