Swords and Stars

By the time ofA Feast for Crows, many gods are growing in power across the realm of Westeros. The long-dormant faith of the Drowned God surges to new life in the Iron Isles under the stewardship of Aeron Damphair. Rhllors nightfires have begun to burn across Westeros, as Melisandre or the men of the Brotherhood Without Banners preside over their nightly prayers. Even the Sevenlong accepted as the predominant religion for the southern kingdomsgain new strength with Cersei Lannisters blessing, as they reform their ancient military orders, the Warriors Sons and the Poor Fellows.

You can reflect this growing strength in your own games ofA Game of Thrones: The Card Gamewith a new agenda that invites you to completely swear your allegiance toThe Seven:The Faith Militant(The Faith Militant, 99). The Faith Militant offers you a way to gain power fastand without forcing you to make at least three challenges, asThe Lord of the Crossing(The Kings Peace, 60) does. The Faith Militant reads, Reaction:After you win a challenge, kneel your faction card to move 1 power from the losing opponents faction card to a participatingThe Sevencharacter you control. Of course, this additional power comes with the price of absolute loyalty: non-The Sevencharacters and locations that you control cannot gain power.

Its easy to see that youll want an assortment ofThe Sevencharacters in a deck using The Faith Militant agenda. While there are neutral options likeBegging Brother(Oberyns Revenge, 97) orSilent Sisters(Ghosts of Harrenhal, 97), theres one House that has shown a distinct affinity forThe Seven: House Stark.Catelyn Stark(Wolves of the North, 2) is a character who can still gain power, even under the restraints of The Faith Militantand every power you move onto her with the agenda only increases her STR. AHouse Tully Septon(Wolves of the North, 15), on the other hand, allows you to use the power that you have gained to fuel your economy and play out moreHouse TullyandThe Sevencharacters.

Along with giving your characters another way to gain power with The Faith Militant, you gain another way to race to victory and seize more power with a newSongevent,"The Song of the Seven"(The Faith Militant, 98). After you lose dominance, you can play this event to turn that loss to your advantage, snatching two power from the winning opponents faction card and moving them to one of yourThe Sevencharacters! Not only does this event provide more power that brings you closer to victory, it lets you commit your characters to challenges without worrying too much about the dominance phase. Even when your opponent wins dominance, you can grab that power right back with interest.

One downside to filling a deck withThe Sevencharacters is that these characters rarely rank among the strongest, most powerful, or most dangerous characters in the game. Still, you may be able to bring a form of equality to your struggles for the Iron Throne with the help ofThe High Sparrow(The Faith Militant, 97). The High Sparrows power in challenges in limited, but he has an unmistakable ability to keep your opponents economy in check. While The High Sparrow is in play, no player can gain more than seven gold or draw more than three cards in a single round! With new and powerful economy locations for every faction entering the game throughout theBlood and Goldcycle, The High Sparrow may be just what you need to keep your opponents economy in check. Though his restriction affects you as well, its easy to build your deck with this in mind, ensuring that seven gold and three cards per round are more than enough to bring you to power.
