If it was a game of chess it would have been a fantastic material swap for the Night King.
For he killed one of Daenerys Targaryen dragons after she flew to the rescue of a stranded Jon Snow on an epic episode of Game Of Thrones on Sunday.
With the King Of The North surrounded on all sides as his wild wight hunt north of the Wall seemed destined to end in disaster, he was given a last minute reprieve in a daring rescue attempt that cost Viserion his life.
Riding to the rescue: Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons flew to the aid of Jon Snow on Game Of Thrones on Sunday
And the Night King now has an undead dragon at his command after bringing the felled beast back to life, and all for the cost of a single measly zombie.
The Mother Of Dragons could only watch in dismay as the head of the White Walkers killed her ‘son’ after unleashing a spear throw Fatima Whitbread would be proud of.
Blood rained from the skies as the enormous beast fell into the icy water below, while his brothers Drogon and Rhaegal let out anguished screams.
And as if that was not bad enough, Daenerys was forced to literally take flight and leave Jon for dead after he was tackled by zombies and fell into the water.
Taking aim: The Night King got the enormous beast in his sights
Fatima Whitbread would be jealous: He then showed amazing throwing form with an icy spear
Powerless: Daenerys Targaryen could only watch as Viserion plunged to the ground
The selfless warrior, who had bravely followed Tyrion Lannister’s buffoonish plan to capture one of the army of the dead to the letter, shouted: ‘Go, go! Leave!’
And not a moment too soon the self-styled Breaker of Chains took off, with one of the deadly ice spears whizzing perilously close to Drogon’s wings.
Of course the Night King himself may end up ultimately paying for his cockiness, as the show off passed up the chance to spear the mightiest of the dragons as it stood helpless on the ice, instead opting to show off by spearing his brother as the moving target flew high in the sky.
Dragon him down: He lost the power of flight after en enormous wound was opened in his side
Somewhat appropriate: The dragon she named after her brother Varys was killed off almost as quickly as his namesake
Making a splash: The enormous beast sank into the icy water after plunging from the sky
Stupid plan: Jon Snow and a tiny band of men went north of the Wall to capture a zombie
