This is most likely the final version of my "Bear that was Promised" deck from a few days back.

I was told by multiple people that this deck isn't tier one and it's most probably not, but it is fun and can definitely win in jank v. jank.

Old Bear Mormont is the Prince and all attachments except Practice Blades (usually), Craven and Milk go on him. I chose him because I hadn't seen him used this way yet and an 8 STR tri-con with renown and stealth who gets a draw and stand on offense, and doesn't kneel to defend is incredibly appealing. And if you don't lose on defense he can build himself further or reinforce himself at the end of the challenges phase not to mention you're getting two passive power off of the Wall. That seems strong, right?!?

Plots: At the Gates gets Gates of the Moon, which allows Underground Vault to fully trigger very consistently, so income is not hard for this deck. The natural opener.

Building Orders can likely get you the Wall or a Bear attachment, whichever you need.

Confiscation works with Spare Boot to keep the Old Bear free of negative attachments, and if your opponent's not running lots of negative attachments, can take a positive off of one of their guys.

Barring the Gates is good right now with Shadows and Flea Bottom still a factor. Also it doesn't get in the way of your Practice Blade ambushes, so bonus. Flipping it against Manning the City Gates is a real spirit crumpler for your opponent.

Valar Morghulis is a good reset since Aemon is here and you only have two unique singletons. Just don't go too wide with your non-uniques.

Trading with the Pentoshi is not the most popular income plot, but sometimes you have the Old Bear, the Wall, Old Bear's Raven and Longclaw in hand and you want to lay down the complete package at once.

Uneasy Truce replaced Forced March here because I don't want to kneel any of my native mil icons and tri-con Shadow Tower Masons and Stewards or Builders with Practice Blades aren't consistent enough, If you have a built or mostly built Bear, flip this, do your power challenge, pay 1 power for 2-3 power in return, stand the bear back up and make them think hard about whether to challenge you on their turn or not.

Most of the characters are obvious, but Rattleshirt and Janos are there to ensure a power win by 5+ so you can get the Bear out if he's hibernating.

Try it and let me know what you think!
