Hmmm, I think what this episode needs is, oh yes, more death. We did get a dead dragon though, and now it’s an undead dragon (gulp). Limb-itless lost two characters in this episode, although both Thoros and Benjen had barely shown up in the show or even at all in Benjen’s case, so not too much of a loss there. Unless there’s a big shakeup in the finale tonight, I don’t see how Debt Payers loses this one.

All it takes is a little dragonfire to make things a little more interesting. With both Randyll and Dickon burnt to a crisp, that brings Money For Nothing, Pod Free within striking distance of Debt Payers. Only two episodes left!

Dany finally decided to use her dragons and in doing so brought about maybe the most instantaneous amount of death the show has seen in some time. Alas, there were no rostered characters who actually died, so no points for Money For Nothing, Pod For Free. With only three episodes left, it’s going to require one of these teams to kill off Cersei or Euron in order to overtake the Debt Payers; a repeat championship might be on the horizon.

Those pesky Lannisters are at it again. With Ellaria Sand stowed away in a dungeon underneath the Red Keep and Olenna Tyrell having been dealt with by Jaime, Cersei has made it a bit easier on the Lannister armies. Jorah is officially BACK! Jon Snow has dragonglass! Only four episodes left…

Just when we we felt like we’d get all the way through another episode in this shortened season without a single death, Euron comes out of goddamn nowhere and kills not one, but TWO Sand Snakes! While this didn’t necessarily set the teams back who lost those characters, it was a nice little early boost in the standings for the reigning champ, who now holds a seven point lead over runners-up Abominable Snow-Bran and Money For Nothing, Pod For Free. It’s crazy to think there are only five episodes left in the season; things are definitely about to get weird.

With only a few episodes left remaining in the entire series, I think most of us were expecting a little more action in the Season 7 premiere. Even though we didn’t see any early deaths, there were still plenty of appearances to make things intriguing. Everyone is on the board after Episode 1, with reigning champion The Debt Payers in first place and scoring a maximum seven points for having his entire team appear in the premiere. Money For Nothing, Pod For Free is in second with five points, with most of the league tied at four and Many-Faced Team not far behind with three points.

It’s been over a year since Season 6 concluded, and, finally, Game of Thrones is back. I feel like most of us could not be more anticipatory of the new season after developing and playing Fantasy Thrones. It made each episode viewing even more nerve-wracking. I, too, almost walked out of a window after Tommen, who was on my team, Abominable Snow-Bran, just gave up on us. Debt Payers‘ insane come-from-behind victory was the stuff of legends. We didn’t give out an MVC award (Most Valuable Character), but I have to believe it would’ve gone to Cersei. So yes, we are extremely hyped to start Season 7 and keep this ridiculous game going.

This season, we decided to use a dynasty league format and allow teams to keep two players from their rosters from the previous season. Once everyone chose his or her keepers, the remaining characters were placed back in their respective groups, with a few new additions added to replace those who had died in Season 6.

The draft order was determined by the number of points scored last season. Many-Faced Team scored the least amount of points, so he got the first pick in the draft, going with the consensus number one pick, Lyanna Mormont. A standard snake draft resumed until all teams rostered one character from each of the seven groups. All available characters and their respective groups are shown in the tables below.

Characters in italics are new additions for season seven. The characters in bold were kept on their respective teams from last season.
