![]() Within Night’s Watch Ghost doesn’t help defense so much and only has 1 icon. This feels more like a Stark card to me, and certainly will work well in that faction. I feel like 4 gold is the threshold where you’d better do something pretty awesome if you only have one icon. It’s interesting that Summer and Grey Wind have ties to their masters but Ghost does not. Stealth shines in the current environment, but the can’t-defend ability will matter less often than you think. NW works best right now as a weenie aggro, so make that happen! Stealth is really nice, but he works a bit at cross purposes with the central tech of the faction, which, incidentally, should be ignored. All I can say is this guy is mean in melee. Stealth is always good but when it shuts down that character for all of your challenges it is even better. The most aggressive card in the defensive faction. It's a strong effect and it amuses me how much it destroys the point of Ned - a very powerful bargaining card in Melee here. Right now Ghost is better for banner factions (though once NW can go full aggro themselves he'll be great again). Stealth that locks one whole character from defending any Challenges? Phenomenal. Good abilities that ensure that you get power and that he’s never a dead card in your hand (unless he got piked). Having Wildfire Assault as a +2 power plot will be a satisfying way to win too!ĭecent icon and strength spread. His icons and strength are OK for his cost, his abilities are really good. Considering The Wall, Benjen is great to run 3x because there are only a few cards that can put him in the dead pile. 4 gold isn’t a ton, and the 2 power on death is strong. The power-grab ability helps speed up an otherwise slow faction, and the anti-stealth ability will be useful occasionally, but for 5 gold I want more impact while he’s on the table.īenjen is solid. He's good, and you'll run him, but you'll wish there was a bit more for the cost. Also, is almost never a dead draw when get more copies because when he dies goes back into your deck meaning can play another one. Gives protection to some of your characters from stealth. Maybe we can get a Bejen = Davos fan theory going, because I'm pretty sure he'll soon be very acquainted with Wildfire. ![]() Very thematic card, and a very powerful interrupt in the core gameplay. The Ranger-support is just gravy on top of that.Īin't no stealthing past NW on military. While being a good solid body for his cost, Benjen’s true worth lies in him being able to “lock” the game when you reach 13 power, with your opponent not being able to use a Reset (like Wildfire Assault) without handing you the victory. Power-gain based on something else than Challenge winning is never something to be sneezed at.
