It stops First Snow.

I think he meant that Forgotten Plans prevents the First Snow/RBD combo by stopping First Snow from triggering

True. But it does turn off First Snow the turn before. Presumably that's what he meant.

I would actually like to see errata to RBD to "every player discard to 4". This would give more hand to aggro decks as it would be more anti-control and not anti-aggro like it currently is. I don't feel control needs as much tools as it currently has in the environment.

If you ban/restrict RBD you will be back here in 2 months wondering why no one plays anything but Martell KotHH

I don't find RBD particularly hurting. The combo with threat from the east was truly devastating but 6 cards are usually good enough for me to get going. Draw engines is the answer to RBD.

That's a really good idea. I don't like restricting/banning RBD, because there are decks (especially Martell, that can generate ridicoulus amount of CA) that are kept in check with it. But your idea keeps this decks in check and don't allow "unfair" combinations with "Any Phase" events and First Snow.

RBD should not be banned, restricted, or suffer errata. There are other items, many mentioned in this thread, that are more important. RBD can be a great card, depending on your draw, and a clever little way to make sure that you start with some nice card advantage; but, it isn't a massive threat to the fun and playability of AGoT.

I love seeing someone get hosed by their own RBD shennanigans. Super funny.

There is a plot card in the HBO black box that does this.  I think the stats were a little different, but I've found that it generally has the same effect as RBD since Stark empties their hand rather quickly.
