Lightbringer

Lightbringer is a deck analysis tool for A Game of Thrones LCG 2nd Edition.

It helps you making the right decisions for your deck by providing insights on several statistics such as cost, strength and icon distribution. Furthermore you can assess the viability of your deck using Ligthbringer's setup analysis.

Deck Statistics

Lightbringer provides the deck's distribution of:

• Factions
• Icons
• Character strength
• Character, attachment, location, event and total costs
• Plot income, initiative, claim and reserve

Setup statistics

Lightbringer provides the following setup statistics:

• Distribution of gold, key cards, avoidable card, total cards, distinct characters used and total character strength
• Number of poor setups and setups with economy or limited cards
• Average number of characters per icon and average icon strength
• Cards used and percentage of times used
• All setups and original hand

Configuration

Lightbringer comes with a default configuration file, but you might want to change it to better analyze your deck, so here is the configuration key:

• meta.economy-cards: a list of card names, or codes, for cards that provide economy. Lightbringer can automatically pick up cards that provide income, but some cards, such as reducers, need to be included in this list. This list will be updated with each chapter pack release, if necessary.
• meta.setup-runs: the number of setups that will be analyzed and generated.
• setup.require-two-characters: whether a setup requires two characters to not be considered poor.
• setup.require-four-cost-character: whether a setup requires a four cost character to not be considered poor.
• setup.require-economy: whether a setup requires an economy card to not be considered poor.
• setup.require-key-card: whether a setup requires a key card to not be considered poor.
• setup.min-cards-required: the minimum number of cards required for a setup to not be considered poor.
• setup.key-cards: the list of card names, or codes, for cards that are key to the deck being analyzed.
• setup.avoidable-cards: the list of card names, or codes, for cards with enter play reactions that can't trigger in setup. All cards with the Bestow keyword are automatically considered avoidable cards.
