Loyal to the True Queen 1.0

This deck is good! 7-0 in Braavos because I couldn't get the Jon Tower to work (I see that a Jon tower won Thronestoberfest, so maybe I just need to git gud) Pras also ran it to very good effect at WAR.

You will not be shocked at all by any of these cards, but let me explain a few choices where I feel like the tech here is different than some other decks:

Fealty vs. Rains or other agendas: Rains doesn't add a ton, IMO, since you don't really want to have to commit to challenges at such a high level. The economy actually helps a lot and keeps you going along well.

No Hizdahr. No Mereen. No Freedmen. I don't like discard-from-hand effects in burn for a few reasons (1) you want to keep a big hand as burn, reset, and use the hand advantage to take over from there. Discard effects that give you early presence work against that (2) If you're not discarding for effects, Mereen is horrible. Way too high of variance to be useful (3) I don't like 1 STR guys in burn because you want to play Blood of the Dragon

Key cards: Astapor. The best card in the deck and easily worth your whole turn. Be smart against houses that can snuff it out but it's game winning. New Drogon: This basically is why burn is back--the repeatability matters so much and is functional card advantage. Meereenese Market: just GG against other Targ (snuffing their SS or Freedmen or No Slaves!) and other Flea Bottoms and put your own burn back in the deck, or your own Daario to find him with Aegon, or whatever.

Debatable slots: Some decks don't run Daario. I like him, as sometimes you need extra beef and you can find it with Aegon. If you draw your 1x before Daario another second sons never hurt anybody. Exchange of Information/Coppers is another, but I like Exchange especially with 3 attachments and Markets....a deck reshuffle effect to give you a chance at those burn cards you bottom-decked matters! Also the 341 matters. And sometimes you get a crown T1 for GG. The second Jorah could be something else, some decks might run 3 Qotho (that's where I got my Daario slot), other decks might want Slaver Bay Ports (I went Gates of Moon for setup reasons, basically) but I think this is pretty tight.

Let me know what you think!
