Kneel and stealth are an obvious combo, and a lot of people are playing Bara Kraken right now given the power of Bara with the saves of Greyjoy. This is a bit different, focusing more so on non-native renown from Disputed Claim, which, paired with a modified Mel-kneel package and The Red Keep, is the lynchpin of the deck.

I didn't think much of Disputed Claim when it first came out but now that I've used it I think it's a severely underrated card. Giving Asha or Theon or Mel or Stannis non-native renown, or giving Victarian +2 str is insane. If Theon wins an unopposed challenge he basically gets double renown. And you can almost always count on having more power on your house card on your opponent since the deck has an abundance of power icons + 3x Red Keep.

This deck sets up very well (often 4-5 cards) and is an obvious counter to Valar. Furthermore, it doesn't run any negative attachments or events (i.e., milk or nightmares). Attachment removal is all over the place and I wanted to focus on boosting my own characters instead of messing with my opponents'. Also, I got sick of dedicating so many slots to negative cards.

Basically, if you can kneel one impactful character each round with Mel's ability or with Victarian, you're laughing. Then renown your way to victory with disputed claim.

Unfortunately, the most recent tournament I went to included several decks that were built to beat this one, so I think it's dead for me. Before that, I had a lot of success with it. Enjoy.

Any thoughts on Esgred in this deck?

I feel like bob would be better than stannis.

I think this deck would be so much better with the king in it than it is without him! Robert - better than Tywin!

@Irish I've thought about it but I decided against her. The negative reaction she has with Asha is basically a waste of gold--this deck wants Asha on the board. Plus she's not a lady so is not a candidate for Disputed Claim or Bodyguard, etc.

@Banjo That could be true. However, I figured Bob is a bigger target for milk, nightmares, tears, etc., than Stannis. Furthermore, he can be awkward in setups and I wanted non-native renown, which, if Bob has milk and Disputed Claim, he becomes just a more expensive version of milked Stannis.

Fair enough, but thats what my boy cressen is for. Granted Nightmares is a bitch and can really mess up a good turn for you. I feel like bara has a lot of good answers to their problems. its just a matter of getting lucky and seeing them.

With 3 Maester cards in the deck and the potential to put Pylos in if needed, have you considered swapping Confiscation for Here to Serve?

Also, how is Red God's Blessing for you? I always think that card is better in Greyjoy Stag where Balon can enjoy it, would maybe consider a cheeky Superior Claim to help your Disputed Claim go off?
