Not much to say here. Sea of Blood is ridiculously strong, and Greyjoy is very easy to play. Combine the two and you have a very powerful deck that is extremely easy to pilot. I think someone who is clinically brain dead could pilot this deck. Just play bombs, turn them sideways, and kill stuff. I took an existing successful deck and made a few key changes:

Summer Harvest over Late Summer Feast for the initiative. Winning initiative in the Sea of Blood mirror is of critical importance, and I always felt like I couldn't afford the 0 initiative of Late Summer Feast.

Corsair's Dirk over Pinch of Powder. Pinch of Powder is expensive and isn't always possible to trigger. An easy +2 STR with a cheeky gold steal comes in handy.

The Reader over Aeron Damphair (KOTI). Prefer the one extra STR and potential to put more cards in discard pile for Asha Greyjoy (KM).

Martell Wars (W) / Night's Watch Assault (W) / Stark Blood (W)

Enjoy!

Congratulations!

I also thought often about summer harvest. What happens if you face another one? Especially Targ likes it.

Did the stark deck played winterfell? How can you handle it in general?

@King Nothing I generally open Time of Plenty unless coming up against Sea of Blood in which case I'll usually open Summer Harvest. I had no reason to suspect other (non-Targ) Sea of Blood decks were running it as they usually open Time of Plenty, Late Summer Feast, or Trading with the Pentoshi. As for Targaryen, my plot choice would have depended on the board state and if I could afford for both of us to gain only two gold from plots!

No, the Stark player did not play Winterfell. It was a Direwolf-based Sea of Blood deck. As for dealing Winterfell, there's probably no way to do it without including King in the North in this deck and then blowing it up on the King in the North turn. It's tough. It would probably wreck this deck. Luckily I didn't come up against it!
