Maege Mormont (3 / 5)
Oh, Maege. Such a fun ability combo, but it comes at a price. A price of 3 points. While her buffing the Girls to an amazing Morale stat of 4+ and dealing out extra wounds whenever they pass a Panic Test, she’s just expensive for what she does. If she were cheaper, she’d be the Mother of all these adorable Bastards, but alas, it is not meant to be.
Rickon Stark and Osha and Shaggydog (2 / 5)
I’m really torn on this combo, as I think they could really shine, and then I remember that my opponent is going to rain on my Rickon shaped parade as often as possible. Rickon himself is just a liability, but that liability brings a 1 point discount on the normal 3 point Direwolf Tax. Osha brings a chip damage ability which is useful, but relying on it by itself to get work done is troublesome . Shaggydog is one of the better Direwolves, as Vicious is a great keyword, and we can give him other keywords through our Tactics cards. This combo is going to be more at home in a unit that is going to sit on objectives, rather than a unit that is going to bring the fight to the enemy.
