Knight Of The Blackwater 136

trying to finalise this deck for my first tournament (yes if you have seen my other lists I have bounced between decks a bit). I’m now sold on Greyjoy/Banner of the Lion but I need to drop a few cards. any advice?

I did play around with running no rose roads and in 2 of the 3 games today it worked. in the other I was poor :-(

Any thoughts?

thanks Ben

Switch the 3 moneylenders for merchants to improve set ups. Drop Kraken’s Grasp. You don’t need help with unopposed and 13 non setup cards is probably too many. If you want 60 cards then drop one of the Wendamyrs as he’s going to die easily.

You could drop a Tickler for the same reason. Unless you wanted to run Treachery but then there would be some more changes to think about!

I have Moneylenders over Merchants as their gold can help Greyjoy cards and events where as the Merchants can only help Lanni cards. Also the Merchants gives me some much needed Intrigue. even with that you would drop it?

The limited makes it harder to play, and it will probably be one of your first targets for mil claim. I would rather pay 1 for something that’s going to die. I can’t think of a banner deck that wouldn’t benefit from all three reducer guys. They’re not there for the ability, but they’re great for claim soak and set ups.

I didn’t see he was limited…. ok he’s gone! Thanks Joe,

I think I will change the list like this:- -3 Lannisport Moneylender -2 The Kraken’s Grasp +3 Merchants

and leave it at that for now. I’m hoping to have a play test night before the comp. I would like to not change the deck too much as I want to feel comfortable with it.

Great advice. Not sure you need 3 merchants. Here are a couple things to consider. 2 little birds do wonders. It’s nice to put in a seal of the hand too. So I’d go 2 merchants, 2 black winds crew instead of 3. Add 2 little birds and a seal. Iron throne is nice to maybe grab one and dump a milk or one iron fleet scout. This would give you more versatility.
