You may be sorely disappointed on this front. Even at the height of the board community, discussion tended to be more on theory and possibility - with a very wide range of practical application offered as support on all ends. The "variance" in data from actual testing has always been huge in this game. Historically, this game has also had a significantly older crowd with more abstract thinkers.

And this is the difficulty without a robust, meaningful organized play program. There is no "field." Or, more to the point, the definition of "field" has changed over the last year from "the 10-15 guys I see every month or so as our local play groups get together, plus the 20 or so guys I see two or three times a year at Gencon, Regionals or other big events" to "the 2-5 guys in town I play with every week or so." The later is considerably less interesting than the former. No one really knows if their builds win a high percentage versus "the field." Take a look at Lars' MwNK discussion. He reports that his deck is winning a very high percentage in his local play group, but the community at large reports not seeing the same results, even when they try.

Yeah, it sucks. But that's a whole other topic.
I doubt you'll see much with the new Agendas for Greyjoy and Martell. Letting your opponent win at 10 doesn't seem to appeal to most people enough to try building with them - especially since they still cannot use some of the really good "House GJ/Martell only" cards. Most people seem to be more interested in waiting for the expansions - especially since the GJ one is due out in the next 45 days or so.
There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.'
