I took this deck to win our (very) small regional. This was a tweaked version of my original Tyrell + Dragon deck, which itself was a reworking of my Tyrell-Rains deck. It really can't be overstated how well the Dragon banner (aka Plaza of Pride banner) works with Tyrell main.

Matches were:

  • R1) Win vs Targ + Banner of the Kracken
  • R2) Win vs Targ + LotC
  • R3) Win vs Lanni + RoC
  • R4) Loss vs Targ + Fealty
  • Semi) Win vs Lanni + RoC (R3 opponent)
  • Final) Win vs Targ + Fealty (R4 opponent)

Most of the Tyrell cards are self explanatory, but for the banner cards and all the rest, here's the reasoning:

-Plaza of Pride is, in my mind, a Tyrell card. You have the draw to take advantage of it, you have several expensive dead draws you can throw away to stand your seven costers (most notably dupes of The Arbor), and failing that it's always nice to stand Margery . Between this and Crown of Golden Roses, you should never have a useless card in hand.

-Shierak Qiya is another great card for Tyrell. Winning Power challenges by 5 is fairly common for Tyrell, and getting another use out of Randyll, Mirri, and/or Renly will win you games. Finally, It can always be used to stand Margaery Tyrell (Core) with Plaza of Pride.

-Magister Illyrio is in here to take advantage of all the spare gold you'll have playing Tyrell. Renly participating in multiple challenges is amazing and can quite easily draw you 2-4 cards for further use with the Plaza of Pride. Obviously Mirri and Illyrio are BFFs too.

-Mirri Maz Duur is in the deck replacing Jaqen H'ghar from my original Rains version. She gives you threat on multiple challenges and pairs incredibly well with Margaery Tyrell (Core), Highgarden, and Syrio Forel. Her primary function though, much like Jaqen, is to draw all the hate like Milk of the Poppy, Nightmares, Treachery, and Craven. This hopefully leaves Randyll Tarly, and Renly Baratheon (FFH) (relatively) free from harassment to win you the game. If she gets her ability off, that's a bonus.

-Rattleshirt's Raiders x3 might seem excessive, but being able to keep Cravens and Milk of the Poppys off your big guys is very important. They're also at the perfect cost to be discarded with plaza to stand Renly, Mirri, or Randyll.

-Quaithe of the Shadow, and Ser Jorah Mormont are in here purely to make up the banner requirements. I've essentially just swapped them in to replace 2x Arbor Knight in the 2 cost slot. Jorah's renown and Quaith's ambush/interrupt are also occasionally useful.

-Left and Right are in here mostly because Qhorin Halfhand is fairly common in our meta, so they're good chuds to counter him. Also Summons, and Alerie Tyrell allow you to get out the dream-team fairly often. They can also be reduced by Great Halls.

-"Lord Renly's Ride" is an amazing card if you're forced to go first, especially with all the stand in the deck. It's not uncommon to be able to intimidate 2-3 characters with Randyll Tarly, or Renly Baratheon (FFH).

The plot deck is fairly standard, with a few personal favourites I've thrown in. Filthy Accusations and Varys's Riddle could be swapped for other plots, I simply like them for there solid stats and great abilities. Valar Morghulis in is deck is more of an emergency reset, rather than one you want to be using.
