I haven't read any of the passages from the 6th book. I want to keep it all a surprise.
But if I recall most people like ASoS the most out of all of the Game of Throne books. I think most people - if they quit the series - stop at the fourth book.
Me personally though I enjoy all of the books in the series. Four and five in particular I quite enjoyed.
So this like, "two versions" thing is a huge let-down for FE:if.
Like, having two routes is whatever, but only getting to pick one and having to buy the second route as DLC sounds really dumb. Hopefully that never makes it out of Japan.
As I mentioned before, first time competing in an MTG tournament (not my local store, but one more popular a few miles out of city) tournament since like Shadowmoor Standard, but this will be my revised 4Color Gifts deck I will most likely be running this Wed. + Show Spoiler +
25 Lands: 5x Fetches (all I could trade for/get for now) 5x Basics 2x Overgrown/ Godless Shrine/ Woodland Cemetary 1x Temple Garden/ Breeding Pool/ Hallowed Fountain/ Watery Grave 1x Edge 1x Academy Ruins 1x Vault of the Archangel 1 Colonnade 1x Razerverge Thicket
10 Creatures: 1x Iona/ Elesh/ Sun Titan 2x Kitchen Finks/ Knight of Reliquarys/ Snapcasters 1x Eternal Witness
22 Instants/Sorcs: 3x Abrupt Decays 3x Lingering Souls 4x Gifts Ungiven 4x Inquisitions 2x Path to Exile 1x Wrath of God 1x Damnation 1x Life from Loam 1x Unburial Rites 1x Maelstrom Pulse 1x Raven's Crime
3 other spells: 1x Engineered Explosives 2x Lilliana
I'll post what my board will be later, but for now this is what the main will look like. Some explanations here: + Show Spoiler +
Added the Archangel Vault over Ghost Quarter since I was already running Tectonic Edge anyway, and it makes my Lingering Souls/Snapcaster's more formidable.
More Abrupt Decays was a good choice, and I managed to borrow some from a friend. Added my Snapcasters, but I kept 1 Witness because I feel like she's a lot stronger in certain (albeit fewer) situations where I need to recur a Lilliana or a creature.
Took out the BoP/Tribe Elders, added in Reliquarys. Much better lategame threats, relevant in the early stages, a decent Sun Titan target. I feel like she's probably better in the more midrange versions with 7 BoP/Heirachs+Siege Rhinos, but I've liked her so far.
Could be my own experience, but the Engineered Explosives DO WORK for me. Very effective, and seems relevant to a lot of matchups I come across (except maybe Tron). Kept the singleton Pulse. Seems like its worth keeping MD, and it's always useful imo.
I really wish I could get a friend to borrow an extra Lilliana copy, but no go. They are also running her it seems. I kept the WoG over Verdict because WWU seems pretty sketchy for me to manage.
Maybe if I was willing to shell out for Goyfs, my list would be completely different, but so far, I took what Cixah/MB have said, and this is what I've layed out for now. Will work on my sideboard later.
I may also post my list on the TL MTG thread, but I feel much more comfortable posting this here first (for some odd reason).

It should be ok, just be very very very scared to tap out against UR decks. I feel like you die unless you have decay. GL Friend let us know how it goes
I'm ever so slightly upset that the show is going to be ahead of books in story. I'll actually have to actively avoid spoilers until the book comes out. I can't wait to watch Forsen's stream where people will spoil the 6th book in donations...

edit: and is the constant sex going to continue, or does it eventually tone down. I kinda cringe while reading them usually
lol how does this annoy you? are you reading the books out loud with your parents in the room or what its really a tiny % of the actual word count I don't complain about all the boring food porn
