Basically I was like “I want to play Nymeria Sand because she is obviously gross as hell” and so I put her and all the good cards in a deck. The idea is to empty the opponent’s hand and keep their board irrelevant with Nymeria, Tears, and Tyrion stealth. I wasn’t totally sold on Cersei’s Wheelhouse but its anti-synergy with Sunspear actually works? Basically it means it isn’t obviously better to go first or second from your opponent’s perspective and that’s the best way for them to make play mistakes. And at the end of the day it costs a gold so if it never does anything it probably didn’t lose you the game.

Plotwise, I went with Confiscation because Nymeria is probably the highest-value Milk target in the game right now, and with good reason. Wardens is obviously strong, even if its ability never fires, and the rest are just solid.

I won a 10-person Store Championship with this deck but I never went up against Baratheon all day, which is the only matchup I’m actually worried about. I may find room for the third Hand’s Judgment to keep Seen in Flames and Consolidation of Power from losing me the game.

Congrats on the win. I think its cool that you played both Wheelhouse and Sunspear. That is a hard call for your opponents.

I’m curious how important Arianne was to you? At a glance the synergy of Obara with Nymeria seems strong and has a lower cost, but the princess of Dorne is pretty flexible. In the future would you go 2 Obara, 2 Arianne, or 1 of each?

Arianne is good but not great in this deck. Being able to jump The Hound back in for free is nice, and she does let you get around the limited restriction on Lannisport Moneylender. I think the utility she provides is more useful than Obara, and Bastard Daughter is better clamesoak. I wouldn’t cut any Martell cards I’m currently playing for Obara, but it’s not inconceivable that I’d cut Burned Men for one copy of her.

Didn’t think about dropping in the Moneylender with Arianne. That’s a really nice way to help you have money for the events. Thanks for your comments.
