Experimenting with a Kings of Winter deck. Not a faction that I would typically associate with the season but who knows?

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated!

What are your thoughts on Wraiths in Their Midst as an opening plot?

It's low reserve, but it stunts your opponent's game significantly and when you are running low intrigue that hurts slightly less.

I really like snowed under with Kings of winter as it punishes your opponent for sacing their kingsroads which they will want to do normally against Kings of Winter. Otherwise if you don't want 2 of them then Famine really messes with your opponent's development.

I don't know Barathian that well so, but my first instinct is that an extra Barriston or an extra Ser Davos would be good for your deck ( with only 6 lady cards I don't think Barriston is particularly efficent.

@Krinoth I like the Wraiths in Their Midst suggestion! I have it in my Nights Watch: KOW deck and it works wonders as an opening plot. Maybe swap it in for The Long Winter...

I'm also thinking of dropping 3 Motley in here as replacements for Stinking Drunk for its discard effect.

Love this deck. I've played it 6 times now and have a record of 5-1. Mostly against Lannister/Targ kill decks. I find that I'm generally able to choke them for a couple of plots and get a few good intrigue hits in before Tyrion and co. start hitting the board.

I play with Wraiths and slot that in for a second copy of winter festival. Opening with it is pretty much guaranteed to force some heavy sighs from my opponent and I find that the curve of this deck is small enough that I can handle the 4 reserve pretty easily with a big board early on.

Overall the gold choke of NW does well at actually choking your opponent but I find that they lack a strong victory condition, whereas choke plays very well with Baratheon's control and dominance.

I should also mention that Motley is absolutely a must have in this deck. I run it instead of Stinking drunk and it does so much work. Hitting Jaime or Tywin is completely devastating after your turn 1 wraiths.

@FredInRealLifeAwesome! Glad to hear you're having success with this. I ran Motley at first in this but swapped it out for the less expensive Stinking Drunk as I was worried about my own economy with primarily Winter plots. Sounds like it hasn't been an issue for you though. I'm looking forward to the release of Stannis Baratheon (TIMC) to slot in for Core Stannis. His added power choke will work wonders with this I think.
