Won a Regional with this deck, 22 players, pre-Astapor.

Based on two similar decks posted here on thronesdb by dockellis and MiSiO. Thanks to BlueSapphyre and action_johnny from the Discord server for suggesting the 3rd Viserys and Close Call!

The spice in this deck is A Dragon Is No Slave, it can let you kill many troublesome characters when combined with Blood of the Dragon and Dracarys!. Originally I was also running Plaza of Punishment, but removed it in the end, judging that I needed consistency more than flexibility.

I was worried about the notorious NW Builders deck, as well as Bara Chamber and Lanni Harrenhal, so I packed 2x Pyromancers. The good thing about Pyros is that they're never a dead card - if you don't need them to blow stuff up, you can pitch them to Plaza of Pride to stand Deny, Drogo or Mirri.

  • Plots

Blood of the Dragon is my bread and butter, enables Slaver's Bay Port by killing the opponent's chuds, brings tougher targets into the range of Dracarys!, and combined with A Dragon Is No Slave it can get rid of a pesky character like Margaery Tyrell (Core) or Maester Aemon (Core).

Close Call does two important things - lets me revive Deny or Drogo if they get hit by Valar (it happens a lot), and lets me reuse Viserys. Oh and it can also deny the opponent's Slaver's Bay Ports.

Counting Coppers helps me dig for events, duplicates, and fodder for Plaza. Although with [Slaver's Bay Port]s I sometimes have as much as 8 gold on the turn I reveal Coppers.

Late Summer Feast was okay for me, it did give some extra cards to my opponents, but most of them were opening with Time of Plenty and had about 6 or 7 cards my the end of the 1st turn marshaling, so it was more filtering than card advantage. Although for the same reason I think it can be rather safely replaced with Summer Harvest.

Retaliation can be devastating with Drogo, and still good without him. Just don't open the game with it.

Marched to the Wall and Valar Morghulis are cards that I literally cannot play without. If I ever netdeck a deck without these plots, I always end up losing miserably, cursing the deck's creators for not packing such obviously effective plots (yes I'm aware this probably means I'm not a very good player).

4th round vs. Tyrell Crossing - LOSS (good job Max!)

5th round vs. Targaryen Fealty - WIN

Top 8 vs. Tyrell Crossing - WIN (rematch from 4th round)

Top 4 vs. Greyjoy Stag - WIN (meanwhile Maksum got beaten by the Builders deck)

Final vs. NW Summer (the dreaded Builders deck, but I've prepared for that matchup)

Nice to see someone got inspired by my deck. I like Pyromancers in his deck. I am also considering Close call. Good effect, gold and potential draw. Summer harvest is very good. Especially if you do not use expensive cards like Astapor.

Congratulations BTW on your win.

Congratulation on your win!

Nice explanation of the key cards in your deck.

What was the key to beating the builders deck?

@Stormbornmy perfect draws against his subpar ones :) I decimated his board during the first three turns, he didn't see The Wall or any Abandoned Strongholds. When he did find and build The Wall, I played my Pyros and blew it up - but i don't think this was crucial in that one game.

I played Pyros in my Targ/Rose deck that I won the Stockport regional with last week, after getting smashed twice by Wamma the week before. Combined with Plaza of Pride, they can make all the difference. Helped me beat both Builders and Stark/Watch.
