I have played my friend's copy of GOT:The Card Game 2nd ed. twice and really enjoyed it (despite losing badly).

I'd like to buy it but living card games scare me cause there's so many expansions and packs and cards and mats etc...

I was hoping you could tell me the minimum I would need to buy to create a deck where each house is reasonably balanced and can be played by itself, not like in the base game where they're combined...

Again this isn't for tournaments or anything too serious, just to play with friends, but I do want each house/faction from the original game to be valid and not clearly OP over another and have enough cards to be played without combining. 😁
