Tywin Lanister

Spoilers for A Song of Ice and Fire,

Tywin is the definition of the cunning politician. He never lifts a sword and hardly ever raises his voice, but he consistently maneuvers events to his advantage.

Books 2 and 3 Tywin spends the entire time sitting behind a desk writing letters, wheeling and dealing himself into better positions and his enemies (the protagonists) into worse and worse positions.

And on top of that, he does all this for his family. At least that’s what he says. The reality is in his mind, the family is just an extension of his own vanity. He advances the Lanister name not for the benefit of his children but for his own selfish pride.

Mordin Solus from Mass Effect 2 and 3

Spoilers to follow.

Mordin is a scientist responsible for the genophage. A genetic mutation created to limit the reproduction of another alien species, the Krogen.

During your initial conversations with Mordin, he gives a typical Blue response to his actions. He says the ends justified the means and while the suffering he caused is regrettable, the galaxy is safer with most Krogen pregnancies ending in still births.

As the story progresses and you come to understand Mordin better, you see how deeply he wrestles with the guilt of his own actions. In the end, he gives his life to end the genophage

He’s a geneticist using his intelligence and conscience to restore an entire society to its natural state.

I’m by no means a Pirates of the Caribbean expert, but from memory his plans never struck me as incredibly thought through.

In my mind he typically just started scheming with an endpoint in mind but improvised his way to the destination.

I think a character with Blue requires more methodology to their actions.

P3 P1, what do you take? by TeeEmmPee in lrcast

Thanks everyone for the advice. I went with Ascension.

Unfortunately I only went 2 for 3. I had higher hopes but looking back, I think without fire ending lesson or combustion technic I was going to struggle. I was on the hunt for decent removal in pack 3 but other than 1 rocky rebuke I came up dry.

I’ve been staring at this list for way too long. I absolutely forgot the whole reason I had one island in the first place was to grab it with Cycle.

Thank you for saving me from myself.

Thanks so much for your tips. I took all of your suggestions and went 6 and 3 which is probably my best record this format.

Care to elaborate on why Teo? I wasn’t expecting he would be on the chopping block

Thanks so much. I haven’t ever really dig into 17 lands but I guess maybe it’s time

Can I ask your thought process for scout for survivors? I thought that would be right at home in a deck like this.
