A New Chapter - Tales from the Red Keep

The 4th installment from the King's Landing Cycle, this particular pack is an interesting one, as it packed many very interesting card that is useful for a variety of decks.

But first, as usual, the distribution of cards -

1 Agenda

3 Attachments, 1 for Lannister, 1 for Greyjoy and 1 for Stark.

10 Characters, Martell, Targaryen and Lannister each gets 1, the other Houses gets 2 each, and 1 neutral character.

1 important Martell event,

4 Locations, 1 for Baratheon, 1 Greyjoy, 1 Targaryen and 1 Neutral.

and of course, a city Plot.

The Agenda is the famous White Book, for the Kingsguard. We all know what these fellas are at the moment, so perhaps for the future~

The attachments are no big deal, except for the Lannister's Flogged and Chained, which is a common combo for kneeling decks, though not always a necessity - it does work very well in Joust environment and I might even say it is almost mandatory for Lannister kneel decks to have a couple of these in a Jouse deck. Well, you get 3 of them in a single pack, so it's not too bad.

The characters in this pack is, well, very good, to say the least. Syrio Forel, the neutral fencing tutor everyone likes, is a very good inclusion to almost any deck. We have a single copy of him here, definitely not enough. We also have only a single copy of the Red Viper that is not used in Sand Snake decks, he does a different thing, but does it very well too, and is a cool character for the foundation of some very cool Martell concepts.

The Joffrey Baratheon in this deck is the king of many Lannister decks, and one can argue the Lannisters will need to get 3 packs of this one just to get enough Joffreys. The other characters, with the exception of Daemon Blackfyre, are not as exciting, but many of them are quite useable, such as the extremely cheap Distinguished Boatwain for the Greyjoys and the Queen of Thorns for Baratheon Shadow decks.

The 3 copies of Viper's Rage event for the Martell, is absolutely necessary in pretty much every Martell deck.

The Red Keep and the Dragon Pit locations in this pack are also commonly seen, indicating their usefulness.

The City Plot (City of Spiders) is a very good one, used in every decks that use a good number of City Plots.

All in all this is an excellent pack, I'd say it's a MUST get for Lannisters and Martell, and good to have for almost every other House.
