Derry 126
Claims, death and orange cards! I've been trying different Knights of the Hollow Hill lists during the last weeks, and I finally decided to take this one to Feast For Crows. I had a bunch of really fun games and the deck behaved quite smoothly, even though I guess it could gain consistency with some changes. Happy to get feedback!
The main point of the deck is to maximize claim benefit, either with high claim plots such as You Win Or You Die or Desperate Attack, or with claim denier cards Burning on the Sand and Vengeance for Elia. Also running a bunch of killable characters helps in case claim cannot be prevented.
Without going into round-by-round detail, these were the key factors that I believe contributed most to the victory:
-
Opening with Desperate Attack: the mere sense of bluff for a Vengeance for Elia made the 1st rounds go a lot to my side, with a couple of succesful 3-claim military challenges that basically destroyed my opponent's setups without having to use either Varys (Core) or Valar Morghulis.
-
Running You Win Or You Die into Siege Preparations: simple and effective, I got to see a lot of cards and this totally countered Cersei Lannister (DitD) in the round against Banner of the Kraken. Of course the fact that my opponent didn't see his bowels in the whole was a big help :D
-
Initiative: Playing KOHH gives you the needed control to avoid unwanted First Player experiences, such as Yoren (TB), House Florent Knight or Ward.
-
Political Disaster: Easily the most important plot (and card) in the whole deck. A must-have against any shadow decks, Greyjoys or builders, among others.
I hope you enjoy the list if you try it, there are lots of tricks and fun sequences! My initial lists also ran Sunspear or more control cards like The Iron Throne (LMHR) but I finally added 1x Ghaston Grey and 1x Secret Pact to deny Renown as much as possible, which along with passive power are the worst enemies of this deck. Notably, I was bashed by a Fealty and I was lucky enough to dodge the other Tyrells in the top8, which I think were a worse matchup due to their insane card draw.
See you all around! Cheers

I like this list a lot! Had something similar a while ago, glad to see it successful. Just a heads up though, are you aware that if you play Vengeance for Elia whilst you have Desperate Attack revealed, the claim is not +1 from your plot? Something to do with the wording of vengeance not treating "you as the defending player". Still an awesome turn 1 start to keep the pressure on though! |

Hey Deathlysteve, glad you liked it! Yeah I was aware of that, I got certainly disappointed when I checked the card site and found the rule explanation haha. I'm not sure if all my opponents were aware of it, but in any case, vengeance for even only 1 mil claim becomes even more scary if your oppo runs a 3 claim plot, so I guess the bluff still worked out somehow :D Cheers! |

Malka beast! Meta Farró is proud of you! I would say that we miss playing and testing with you but... What a hard decklist man! Curious about no His Viper Eyes and the lonely Desert Scavenger. You clearly defended the Ellarya! |

I don't often think Martell decks are cool, but this is definitely cool. Good thing I saw a Diplomat for that Desperate Attack turn or I'd have been toast as well. Great deck, great performance, bravo! |

Farró prevails! |

Interesting deck and well played, congratulations! |
This is such an incredibly rude list ;)
Congrats on your well-deserved win!
