House Lannister Deck

House Lannister is a house of wealth and schemes. It is true that they pay all debts but be careful you never come into debt with them. We are going to break down all the cards that can be built into this deck; Defenders, Heroes, Allies & Henchmen, and Masterminds. House Lannister specializes in different tactics to getting recruit points, either from arrogant sacrifice or shrewd manipulation, their resources can provide many strong hero cards to fill your hand and defeat your opponents for victory.

Defenders
Defenders are a new card type for Legendary®: Game of Thrones™, every House has them, and they protect your own Masterminds from your enemies.  Each player begins with a stack of 5 Defenders with two face-down, or inactive and the status of these Defenders will change wildly during gameplay.

 

Heroes
The core of Legendary® is about its heroes, and Legendary®: Game of Thrones™ is no different. Here you represent one of the powerful Houses of Westeros, like the Lannisters. You can build your deck by generating Recruit points to purchase powerful cards representing iconic characters like Jaime and Cersei Lannister and others from Casterly Rock. Like previous Legendary products, there are 5 different classes; Strength (green), Instinct (yellow), Covert (red), Strategy (black), and Skill (blue). Paying attention to these classes can help you create powerful combos and interactions that can help you seize victory. Jaime Lannister as a Hero strives for big success but his arrogance always hurts him. You may be able to defeat a henchman or support an ally to victory though the price you pay may be discarding a card or suffering a wound for it. Cersei Lannister as a Hero manipulates players’ hands for recruit points and thus more momentum and control of the game.

 

Allies and Henchmen
For Legendary®: Game of Thrones™ villains are instead called Allies as they aid you but, you may support your own Allies for victory points and advancing them further or defeat other House’s Allies for victory points and gaining their cards Fight effect. How you use your Allies to maintain the field of battle is crucial to your plans for victory!

Masterminds
In Legendary®: Game of Thrones™, the Masterminds are the heart of your House, and the battle concludes when all Masterminds have been defeated from a single player, or six in total from across the game. Each House has five Masterminds with strong master strike effects that can swing the fight to your favor. For House Lannister, the Masterminds displays the Lannister might and wealth, while controlling the hands of their enemies.  Tywin Lannister’s Masterstrike forces each non-Lannister House to reveal specific cards or discard others ensuring you have the upper hand as a great strategist of the realm. Cersei Lannister’s Master Strike forces each non-Lannister house to choose to draw anew or discard 2, a diabolical way to remove an opponent’s hand or past victories, for she is a masterful student of manipulation.
