Congratulations!!! Well done piloting a deck to the final that people thought outdated.

Congrats again Kristian, strong showing and I'm glad the final was such an epic game. I really like the plot choices in particular here, and I'm convinced with the 2nd packs release there will be a really strong Lanni KoW build using a similar deck design to this.

Happy to see the X-BAMF! performing well. I've lost faith in it now when Martell is so stronk.

  • What made you choose this deck for the Nationals?
  • How did you tech against the current meta?
  • What did you run into during the day?

Love Lannister. Love playing something that exists outside of the meta! Also I felt that the bounce mechanic has so much burst potential.

Leaping lions performs well against Martell and targ variations of other lanni decks. I feel that the plots do a lot of work for me when well timed, with cheap, strong characters such as the hound and cersei proving solid staples if I had no 'bounce' in hand.

On the day I came up against the following: Targ Lion Lanni Targ Martell Wolf Martell lanni (I think, this game was so long and ended in a modified loss for me) - Thanks Evan! Martell fealty Lanni Dragon

Top 16 Stark fealty Martell Rose Lanni kraken Stark fealty (final, so many bodies!)

Congratulations! That was one hell of a final! I love the inclusion of Famine which is excellent after a FSoW turn.

Did you get much use of Tower of the Hand? Haven't see it in use before and wonder how it worked out for you?

Thanks for th praise! Unfortunately not, it can be very effective and can help control the board (especially with leaping mechanic) but I only saw it twice all day. I rate it as a card, but I think it only works in this type of deck.
