This deck is based around Varys and The Wall.

The Wall is your main and easiest victory condition: block all challenges coming your way and score 2 points, easy.

Varys is a boardwipe that ‘discards’ (very different than killing) all characters (including your own) and thus gives your Wall defenders a respite. In fact, the deck is meant to rebuild faster than your opponent thanks to cards like:

Plots: Reinforcements will allow you to get a character discarded with Varys and put it back into play.

Characters: Messenger Raven Can trigger before Varys, drawing you an extra card to prepare for your next turn.

Yoren Can ”Steal” an opponent’s discarded character thus increasing your board domination.

Events: The Watch Has Need Can look for characters to build faster.

OTHER: While waiting for The Wall or Varys and playing a more ‘regular’ game, the deck offers the classic Night’s Watch shenanigans:

Benjen Stark allows you to lessen the impact of stealth from your opponent’s characters while netting you two more power closer to victory if he gets ‘killed’ (note: DOES NOT work with Varys’ discard)

Maester Aemon kinda negate most military challenges’ impact as he saves times and again a dying character.

Will is simply awesome as he can draw you extra cards if you play him right. Later, he can sneak through enemy lines to net some ‘unopposed challenges’ and win you some extra power.

Jon Snow is a late-game finisher, he is meant for when you go on the offensive, lending his power to any attacking Night’s Watch character you control. If you put Longclaw on him he can start netting you up to three power a turn if you win all three challenges (but that’s living the dream).

The decklist is of course not optimal but the cardpool is divided between the eight decks. It does seem fun to play though.
