If your opponent is letting you play out-of-house chambers and stay in the game...that is their problem.  :)

I agree with the basic premise (talking LCG here), most houses can get some draw going.  Almost everyone should be running Sam, for sure.

My Stark deck actually loves Sansa.  There are plenty of attachments that work well on her.  Catapult obviously.  Bodyguard.  Ice.  A couple of the direwolves.  In psuedo-draw the Kennels are okay, and I have seen Bran the Builder for out of house GTM's search.  Lastly, the location that looks at your top card, and puts it into play if it is a characters isn't bad.  

Targ I don't think is actaully all that solid.  You have to commit to both the location, influence, and attachments.  It can be very excellent if you get it going (especially wiht the recurring), but it is just inconsistant to me.

Bara has some - their Epic phase event isn't bad.  Renly works on one turn.    But fairly weak overall.

Lanni is probably the front-runner in LCG, but my Stark deck beats my Lanni deck at least 50% of the time (and hopefully most people here understand i can build Lanni alright).  Catapult and Bear Island are really good, and their character base is very strong.  Their search event is crazy as well - and both that event (standing PLUS search?!?) and their Fury card beat on Lanni's head.

It maybe a little of topic.... but I was rather dissapointed how litttle impact targetet kill did against lanni. It´s just that Lanni is mostly about card draw, really good events and some kneel effects with most characters being non unique, so you dan´t have any really important targets. And the draw still makes up for the loss of characters. It feels like Stark should have TWO bear islands to compensate the lack of draw ;)

Oh yeah.

I guess that is an "agree to disagree" - recurring targeting kill is always strong.  Between fairly decent weenie control (Wildfire/Valar) and targeted kill (one of which triggers from the weenie kill - Catapult/Wildfire is REALLY good), Stark has Lanni's number many times.  I agree that the card draw is worrisome coupled with the income Lanni can put out, but there are ways to limit that.  Stark also does a good job of getting out quickly with the big # of power icons plus decent renown.  Lanni can get out quickly, the main issue IMHO is getting too much kneeling out - but Stark has as good of a chance of getting Fury/Robb/Bear Island/Winter is Coming early.

Stalwart Eddard is decent Renown? Really? All the other Renown Stark can run is neutral or out of house.

Sansa and Arya have it (with help, but good for your deck help) too.

Yeah.  Sansa and Arya are absolutely awesome in LCG.
