Tier Lists for AGOT 2.0 Factions

Loyal cards:

Targarian - Dracarys, Danny, Plaza, Viserion, and a completely unique direction with Drogo

Greyjoy - Balon, Rise of the Kraken, plus good support in We Do Not Sow and the Warship

Baratheon - Red Keep, Consolidate Power, Bob, and Stannis, unique and strong

Stark - Winter is Coming. Grey Wind and Rob are incredible apart and together. Catlyn and Ice are also good.

Lannister - Tywin. Maester based draw. Supported by strong locations, and Cerci

Tyrell - Highgarden is amazing. The rest of the Loyals are passable, but expensive.

Martell - Gaston Grey. Aero Hotah. That's about it. It can be enough sometimes.

Night's Watch - Sam and his Ravens. A Meager Contribution and Take the Black. These could be strong, but the meta lacks non-uniques to exploit.

Non-Loyal cards:

Lannister - Tyrion, Jamie, Treachery, The Hound, Things I Do For Love. This is why Banner to the Lion is one of the most played agendas.

Baratheon - Melisandre and her kit (including the incredible Seen In Flames). Maester Cressen.

Greyjoy - 2 moderate cost stealth bodies, free setup warship, Lordsport Shipwright and other good curve filler. Risen from the Sea. This is a good solid kit to add.

Martel - Sunspear, Confinement, and Araine are all very strong. The cheap guys are better than average, which helps.

Tyrell - Margary is the big draw here. You also get 2 moderate cost Renown, and plenty of Intrigue icons.

Night's Watch - You can defend the Wall, or just splash for Maester Amon, Ghost, and some efficient Rangers.

Stark - Arya. Bran. The rest of the non-loyals aren't any better than what you could run in another faction.

Targarian - I guess you get some efficient uniques? Useful at the start of the game, when you might just want more 2-3 cost guys, but there is nothing here that pulls you to Targ.
