R4: Loss vs Night's Watch Kraken Choke 1-3

King plot gets Naval'd

Bonus "Battle for Extra Playmat" Rd: Win vs Night's Watch Valyrian Jontron 2-3

Dany gets Milked and Craven'd immediately. I'm digging like crazy for Viserys or Qohor, finally find Vis when I'm already down about 11 to his Jontron with Lord Commander. I Crown of Gold my own Vis to remove Craven and Dany + Drogo are free to swing the game back in my favor.

So I went 2-0 in games that were actually competitive, and lost the other 3 games on turn 1 when my board was obliterated and/or never established to begin with. With more practice, better decision making, and a few tweaks to the list, the losses might improve up to 40-60 matchups at best but they're not going to be favorable no matter what. Voltron just loses to aggro/attrition in my experience.

I'm going to stick with the list and try 2 Core Viserion and 2 Core Rhaegal so Dany has characters to target when I need more board presence. The plots need some work as well. Maybe a 2nd Return, maybe a high gold option for when I don't want to open Prince, and maybe a counter to Sea of Blood like Game of Thrones or Champion's Challenge.
