I built this deck the night before of the tournament, every round was a training because this was the first time using Lannister as main house (First game i don't even count gold from Tywin).

The main idea came from my previous deck (Targaryen-Lion), going full renown if the control didn't work... so I made a deck that can give a lot of power and protection from some Martel attachments (Main meta in my country).

Round 1: Bara - Fealty

I don't like to play against teammates... specially the newest one (he have only 2 months playing AGOT 2.0) but he show an amazing game, Stannis and Melisandre made his game and he got a lot of power in a few turns.

Nightsmares save me in the last turn and I was able to stand my characters, giving me a lot of fresh options to get claim, and renown.

Finally, I win.

Round 2: Martel - Fealty

Hard game, Martel was the reason because I changed from Targa-Lion to other house, he had a great game, a lot of attachment (rattleshirt's raiders got imprissoned... like I said, not I made a lot of mistakes xP). But in the end, i had more renown and he didn't get any tear of lys and I could handle her Tyene with nightmares and treachery

Finally, I win.

Round 3: Lannister - Fealty

This game was really hard, he was able to drop all big characters, so do I. Game was almost a mirror, but I had a Ned giving me a little more of renown, until his Mountain killed my ned (with 5 powers) with his rection (my Mountain is a location destroyer...) Game ended when i played a Counting coopers instead of TFSoW wich made me go second, he got more power.

Finally, I lose.

Round 4: Martel - Lion

Can't remember this game to well... Wasn't a hard one, every action he made i was able to react properly. The game didn't last long.

Finally. I win.

Round 5: Greyjoy - Fealty

Again... a teammate (actually in this tournament all 5 members of my team played against 2 other members of the team :S)

She have been playing GJ from the beggining, knows everything about that house. en 2 turns she just claimed a lot of power, Asha, Theon, 2 raiding boats make it a hard game. but i was able to get 2 milks of the poppy and the frozen solid, so no more stealth or STR reduction.

Finally, I win, Road to the Top.

Top 8: Martell - Fealty

The Hardest of the games I played this tournament, he didn't have a lot of power, but he was able to control the board very well, a lot of Atacchments, Mountain with imprissoned, Tiwyn w/o Int nor Power. but I was faster in claiming power, Arya made my game, alowing me to bypass his characters and winning only in military with Jaime and Tiwyn. Finally he got Tyene, but it was to late.

Finally, I Win.

Top 4: Martell - Fealty (Rematch from the round 2 player)

The game was simple, I was dumb and make a setup of Mountain, a Merchant and a western.

He just imprisoned Mountain, viper eyes, Vengance for Ellia, Tear of Lys, and Tyenne, next turn, he imprisonned Jaime.

The game last 7 more turns as he haven't many ways to claim power, i wasn't able to play anything else.

Finally, I lose.

Conclusion:

The Deck works fine with my gamestyle, fast game with renown and challenges, adding wolf as a banner make it quicker and safer.

Must Valuable Cards:

• Sneak attack worked perfect in the moment when I need one last attack to win.
• Ned have a good STR and 2 powers por challenges are really good.
• Tywin, hard one and the very reason I played Lannister as main house, make all cards playable.
• Rattleshirt's Raiders make a lot in this meta filled with attachments

Changes:

• Counting coopers works fine, but I think a summon should be way better.
• Bronn and Ward, never showed up, need more test.
• Ser Ilyn Payne never worked, to expensive and useless to strategy of the deck.
• Another Rattleshirt's Raiders should be good... this card really free you from annoying cards.

Feel free to comment, advice or destroy my deck, I need to improve it a lot :)
