Follow-up review for the second (War of the Five Kings) cycle as well as the second big-box (Lions of Casterly Rock) expansion: 1. The second cycle started off slow, with a couple of dud packs, but gained traction around pack 3 with some strong cards. 2. Kings were introduced, which were mostly underpowered versions of core set characters (with some important exceptions, i.e. Joffrey & Renly), and seasons agendas, which are decent options but not terribly since they limit deckbuilding. 3. The Lannister box brought the great Rains of Castamere and did a good job of not improving the tier 1 Lannisters but instead diversified the faction. 4.Finally, Valar Morghulis was released in pack 4 and has had a positive effect on the meta, without being everywhere like in first edition.

The second edition of A Game of Thrones LCG is an awesome reimplementation of a great card game. It has cleaner rules, and the core set itself is probably the best in the LCG world. The second deluxe expansion is dedicated to House Lannister, definitely the already the strongest faction BEFORE the release of this set. Anyway, the Lions get a lot of new cards, but every other house gets a couple and some are probably quite strong. Is that enough not to tip the balance of the game even more towards the Lannister? The Lions receive a lot of good stuff. Almost every main character gets a second version (will those be able to compete with their core set counterparts? Many won't...), and it seems there is a couple of themes developed: hand discard and Clansmen...

Since BGG makes it difficult to differentiate between games owned and expansions owned, I mark them owned here instead of marking them owned in the status tracker. Owned

Description from the publisher:

Lions of Casterly Rock, the second deluxe expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, invites you to take your place among the storied names of House Lannister. Within this expansion, the Lannisters explore new themes, launching an ambush with their Clansman allies, redoubling their focus on the intrigue challenge, and sending out marauders to pillage the lands of Westeros. You’ll also find new versions of the most iconic Lannister characters, including Tywin Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Ser Jaime Lannister, and Tyrion Lannister.

Of course, while House Lannister holds the spotlight here, you’ll also gain two new non-loyal cards for each other faction with new characters entering the game for the first time, including Edric Storm, Victarion Greyjoy, Trystane Martell, and Jeyne Westerling. Finally, you’ll have the chance to reshape your plot decks with seven new plots (six neutral and one loyal to House Lannister).
