This is the deck I took to the Boston Meta Store Championship at Pandemonium. I ran 2-3, had a ton of fun - and though I lost crucial matches, they felt close. The deck is an evolution of the previous version to the era of Road to Winterfell - Shadowblack Lane is a pretty great card for Targ, Syrio Forel himself replaced Syrio's Training and, of course, Crown of Gold cannot be avoided (works exceptionally well with Rebuilding) while Nymeria Sand is a game changer for this deck and has replaced Confinement.

In addition, I gave up on the Wildling Horde and brought back one copy of Khal Drogo because there are now two other locations competing for the 'kneel your faction card' effect. With Nymeria and Syrio, it was good to have less cards on the high end of the spectrum. He's also there to help with renown but I haven't seen him in any of the games. Syrio was hard to utilize - though I wanted him mostly for the paramour and Dani, he was often around with characters that already have and the stealth wasn't as big of a deal. Yet the flexibility he provides, and the double stealth at any given moment can be a giant swing.

Adding Shadowblack Lane and removing Confinement allowed me to add back some good old events like Waking the Dragon and Fire and Blood. They are truly fantastic cards- especially with the chance of drawing an extra Targ event, you can get a hand with two copies of Dracarys! and one Waking the Dragon, and then you can double burn Tywin Lannister or a 5 STR char that has been pumped by Margaery Tyrell.

Did you get any mileage outta Street of the Sisters? I understand wanting to accelerate the deck...is it just another target for Support of the People? Hows only having 1 Syrio Forel working for you? Just curious, I'm just warming up to Targ/Sun so I have a lot of questions

@DanSolo77 - yes, I did get a lot of mileage out of Street of the Sisters. In fact, it's a necessary card for closing for this deck- without Drogo (reliably) and no other renown, the deck sometimes struggles to translate an advantage into a win. I use 1 sisters and 2 copies of Support of the People - that way I get it as often as any other x3 card (almost any game). If I get support first, whenever I trigger I pull the sisters and use them. If I get sisters first, I just use support to draw plaza. As for Syrio - I probably need 2 to use him reliably. I added him and removed two copies of Syrio's Training that worked well for me. Actually, it worked better with the attachment, generally, but I haven't tested it enough with Syrio to really know. He has a ton of potential.
