Best bond and Siege card in the game! The Northern Realms are already strong in the Siege row but a deck equipped with both Catapult cards can be a really gamechanger. Only those two cards in combination with a Commander’s Horn or the leader ability will bring you a combined unit strenght of 64 (!). There are not much cards that can achieve that. Aslo both of those cards can be revived which is always useful. You can buy both Catapult cards from the Innkeeper at White Orchard Tavern and from Marqise Serenity in the Passiflora.
