Communism - Action - $10

Choose what this card does. Each player (including you) receives its effects.
I choose "You win the game". Since it's my turn, it affects me first.

I choose "The player to my left receives this effect.". If i can't win, nobody shall.

Buying Mint with $5 in your first hand is terrible unless you have Fool's Gold also

I would definitely consider it if there was a reliable way of hitting $3-4 in the early game. Poor House or Baker, for example.

I suppose my statement was pretty much pre-Dark Ages.

Wrong final step.  I think the allusion is sufficient protection, even though it is in plaintext.  If you've not read any of the series, you don't know yet, and if you've read virtually any of it, you'll understand.  If you know who Eddie Erdelatz is, anyway.

BTW, if I had specified Jaime's hand, I would have used a spoiler.

And now, I've explained the card, making it even funnier.

Wrong pronoun for the joke, regardless.  It's like killing everyone except for Ned right away.

SFS, I don't understand your joke despite being halfway through Dance with Dragons.  I looked up this Erdelatz guy and still have no clue.

Are you just alluding to Jaime's fighting prowess?  If so, I still don't understand how Erdelatz matters.

It's okay, just believe that Minotaur's original post deserves an upvote.

Also, I'm a show-watcher.  I doubt that this is one of the times that it matters, though.

(Unofficial) Lanister Creed
Cost: $5
Action-Reserve

Put this on your Tavern mat.

When this card is on your Tavern mat, every time you resolve Borrow, you may remove your -1 Card token from your deck afterward.  Wink and say, "A Lanister always pays his debts."

Perhaps I made it a bit too much of a reach.  Erdelatz is the person that said "a tie is like kissing your sister".  Jaime Lannister and his sister are in an incestuous relationship, and have sired children together.  Jaime losing his hand (which I had forgotten about) caused me to think about what else I might have forgotten, and I thought of the sister, so playing the card causes a tie, 'cause Jaime kisses his sister.

OK, that is quite the stretch... but it still doesn't explain why he trashes your hand.  That's why everybody is confused.

That's not why I am confused. That would be because of the proliferation of candlefoxes.

Two travellers that self-synergized catched my attention :

Ruined Warrior :
Action Attack Ruins :
For each ruins you have in play (including this) : each player reveals the top card of his deck and discards it if it costs $3 or $4.

Ruined Soldier :
Action Attack Ruins :
+$1 if you have another attack in play
Each other player with 6 or more cards in hand discard a card.
