The How & Why of It: Starting Out as a Competitive Player (pt. 1)

1.1K Hey, everyone! We’re back with a special video focused on new players! This video has two parts over the course of just over 90 minutes. First, I discuss the structure of official organized play in Game of Thrones: the Card Game. This segment is focused on the aspirational part of competitive play. Second, I discuss (starting at 27:45), in detail, a x3 Core Set Targ deck that I believe is a good start for players getting on their competitive feat. I talk in detail about each card in the deck, how the play, and how the synergize with one another. This should give you a good deck to take to your first OP event, before you’ve even expanded your cardpool beyond the core set! Let me know what you thought of this video! It is a bit ramblely but I hope it gives you a good sense of WHY you should play GoT competitive and some insights into HOW to play it competitively. Feedback is welcome below! This is a topic I play to return to in the near future.
