This is the deck that I brought to the Connecticut Regional at Tabletop Shop on April 2 earning 12th place in a field of 55.

Game 1 vs Lannister/Kraken - Win. Mel kept Jaime under control while Bob pulled Tywin into fights he didn't want to be in. Going first made his Raiding Longships blank pieces of cardboard.

Game 2 vs Tyrell/Kraken - Win. Master Cressen and Attainted were MVP here, shutting off Olena and eating milks. I was able to Tears a Randyl early kept her power rush low. Turn 3 she played a First Snow and I go into challenges with Bob and Mel facing down 6 opponents but I got to go first. No intrigue challenges coming my way meant no Tears on Bob. I get a lightbringer on Bob, marshal gendry and the throne and rush to victory. Getting the actual victory from revealing heads on spikes.

Game 3 vs Greyjoy/Fealty - Loss. I get a good marshal of Mel, Roseroad, and a 2 coster. Draw back up and only have non-characters in hand. I summons to get somebody, he heads on spikes letting me summon first. I see 1 character which is Nymeria, but he hits it out of my hand. After that I continue to get nothing other than 1 or 2 cost chuds and locations. Game was over before it really began.

Game 4 vs Stark/Crossing - Win. After turn 2 I'm staring down an 11-3 power deficit. Turn 3 I Wildfire hitting 4 characters including Sansa. Gendry, Throne, Stannis and Mel turn the tides and lock down the board denying him any more power.

Game 5 vs Stark/Fealty - Loss. I misplayed this game from turn 1 and continued to make the wrong play at every stage of the game. Choosing the wrong plots, wrong challenge order, going first when I should have gone second at times, etc. I would like to believe that this game never happened because it cost me my spot in the cut.

Game 6 vs Greyjoy/Lion - Win. He gets a scary marshal of Asha with a little bird and a bodyguard. I'm able to control Asha and attainted on Tyrion. He gets no economy which was what ultimately cost him the game, but a lot of dupes to keep him fighting. I'm able to heads on spikes after removing the only non-character from his hand with a seen in flames hitting a hound.

Gotta love autocorrect messing with the title.

I used a fairly similar deck in my Chicago SC. The differences for me was that I included Condemned. I ended up facing 3 Lannister decks in 4 rounds. Making Tywin military icon only was very helpful, especially when I had In the Name of Your King in my hand.
