I decided not to go for the "winter route" and play the plots that liked the most, forgetting about any winter sinergies that other versions of this deck may have. Expose Duplicity is still under testing and may be switched for another claim 2

Wildlings is a strategy that lacks a good economy support. We don't have many cheap characters and our reserve values are usually low. I found myself discarding good cars in taxation quite often. To counter this effect I choosed to play as much economy as possible; 12 limited locations + 3 Vals + 2 Tithe. Val works really well with Wildling Rogue. Nowadays we also benefit from a decent draw engine: 3 Hollow Hills + 3 Dalla + 2 Varamyr. Gold + Draw + Valar Dohaeris enables us to win some long term games, something that Wildlings was unable to achieve a few months ago.

After the tournement I would try to find place for a third Tithe. It helped me a lot in many games. Helps us to marshall cheap dudes to sacrifice for enemy claim, and makes good surprise Last Giants. Also we can kneel someone for Tithe and play Wildling Rogue afterwards. I will go +1 Tithe -1 Nightmares. Probably Mag may also be replaced by Mance Rayder. Take also into account that Anguy the Archer, Ghost of Hight Heart, Lem Lemoncloak, Syrio etc. etc. all these no wildling characters may not be played in setup, because we always open with Vanquish the Unbelievers. We need to play as few of them as possible. I choosed only 1 Ghost, who helps us in more aspects in addition to just pure strenght.

Thx for sharing, very cool list! While I understand the reasoning behind the 12 Limiteds, didn't it create really awkward setups and/or draws for you?

Ps.: Also can the inclusion of Northern Refugee even be justified anymore with only The Long Winter there to support it?

After checking, the chances to draw 3 limiteds in an opening hand are 13,5%, and to draw 4 are 2,5%. All this before mulligan. I got flooded with limited cards once in an oppening hand during the tournement, but was not terrible and helped me with a good [You Win Or You Die] (/card/08120) later on. In any case cutting 1 great hall would be fine. Northern Refugee is important just to pay military claim, even if we pay 2 for it. Also, The Long Winter is often our second plot, so he will have good options to reach the field at cost 1 (and we may also benefit from opponent's winter)
