• Versions
• 1.0

Here the deck that i've used for the road to Stahleck international torunament of Milano: The Milan fighting Pits 2016. 58 players partecipating to the torunament.

"I am the Greyjoy, Lord Reaper of Pyke, King of Salt and Rock, Son of the Sea Wind, and no man gives me a crown. I pay the iron price. I will take my crown, as Urron Redhand did five thousand years ago" - Balon Greyjoy

The deck was tested with meta mates ( Ivan, Khal, Francis, Nadir, Andrea, Franky, Pugliazza, Cicciù thanks a lot!) during this weeks and has performed well during all the tournament with a record of 4-2 during the swiss, even if the field was full of Stark and Lannister decks.

Thx to all the attending players for this great tourney, and a great special thanks to all my opponents that spend good time playing with me at "The oly game that matters" and another big thanks to Andrea and Patrizia for the organization and the beautiful prizes!

Of course, i'll be glad to answer to your questions

Here a little report of my eperience:

Game 1 - Nigthwatch/Martell (W)

I was resigned to a bye because we were registered in 57 , but the program missed a player. I don't know what expect, since NW isn't a good house in this moment, but can be really frustrating if my opponent have a good board and in adding with Martell's icon removal and maybe some kind of direct kill. I don't se for all the Game Balon but my opponent don't see the Wall. My setup have both Theon and Wendamyr and only this two stealth let me to collect fast power in adding with Superior Claim and Theon's reaction. My oppnent play Old Bear Mormont + Old Bear's Raven but he was able only to protect his hand with him bacause of my two Raiding Longship and my eight or nine charachters on the board i finish the game with Euron Crow's Eye that le me to collect the missing powers.

Game 2 - Martell/Baratheon (L)

A game against a dear friend from Genova and second place at the last 1.0 National Championship, The game was really strange since my opponent haven't the heavy board that i expected, but i have a really bad start without key char and he have enought char to face off the first rounds.

I have only Asha Greyjoy but my opponet control her with Filthy Accusations in adding with Ghaston Grey that dont' let me free to use her as i Want. My opponent turn Wildfire to kill his quentyn, and target with his ability Asha that is kneeled for Stinking Drunk but i choose to kill her, to preserve my three char board ( not a really good char ) We both have a poor hand,and i decide to turn my Counting Coppers and all the big guys arrive. Emanuele discard from my hand Euron Crow's Eye that probably during the next turn would help me to recycle the Ghaston Grey since my two copy of The Seastone Chair are probably in the bottom of my deck. Now with Balon i can do a lot of UO challenges, but Emanuele plays Nymeria Sandand Maester Caleotte and with two Knights of the Sun with Renonw the situation isn't easy for me. I tried to close the game with Rise of the Kraken but Emanuele takes durning the previous turn with an the Superior Claim that let me to win the game, because i do 14 powers.

Game 3 - Lannister/Martell (W)

Very short game my opponent only play the little ones charachetrs. The strongest char on the board for him was The Tickler and in adding i've the The Seastone Chair and Balon Greyjoy. Anyway, really sad for my opponent that was really unlucky.

Game 4 - Stark Fealty - Meta mate Zetton (W)

After the lunch is the time of the first meta mates clash! Matteo have Shaggydog, Robb Stark and a location for setup and Jon Snow + Arya Stark enjoy the party. I have both Euron and Balon + The Seastone Chair but all the opponet's char are duped then i start to target Rob for the future.

During the second turn i'm the first player, but on the other side Ice is ready to kill one of my key char placed on Rob to protect him. My challenge phase ends with a lot of points thanks also to Great Kraken and Superior Claim. Matteo choose to kill Euron because Balon is duped. On the next turn, i choose to turn Wildfire because my opponent have a lot of good char on his side, and a duped Bran Stark that chan stop Superior Claim or The Kraken's Grasp. During this turn i oly play Theon Greyjoy but this is enogut to colect the 5 last power that i need to win the game thh to Balon Greyjoy + Theon Greyjoy and Great Kraken

Game 5 - Lannister The Lord of The Crossing - meta mate Fasullo (W)

In our local shop the Lannister deck are very popular, and the mates have opted for the The Lord of the Crossing one, with removal and Cersei Lannister + Trial by Combat trick. Federico's setup was Pycelle + Cersei and a kingsroad, i have a god setup of four, with Theon Greyjoy but i don't really like to see Cersei!

Draw my four cards and now i have 3x Iron Mines with Balon Greyjoy i decide to turn A Noble Cause and my opponent obviously turn The Long Winter. WIth Six gold and a Kingsroad i play Balon, the three mines and The Seastone Chair.

Federico says ironically: > You are a very good player!

And we start to laught together. After his claim 3 with Cersei Lannisterreplaced with Trial by Combat claim 3 chalenge which i've resisted thx to my 3x mines, but i have to kill two char for The Hound military chalenge. Now is my turn and with the Chair i had choosen Cersei. After the second turn and The Hound placed into the dead pile, i missed 3 or 4 points to win but with the turned Rise of the Kraken Federico shake my hand.

Game 6 - Stark fealty - Jaquen (L)

I'm really happy to play against him because is a person that i respect and a great Stark player. The game is really relaxed and funny, we are on the table 4 almost sure to make the cut also in case of defeat.

Federico draw three Ice i was able only to discar one of them durin one challenge but the other two broke my game and i didn't draw anything usefull that can help me. I end the game ust with 2 or 3 power

He corrupts me with a tons of "Bears of Lys" ( candy bears )

TOP 16 - Targaryen/Martell - Valerio (W)

Another relaxed game, with another friend. I fear a lot Mirri Maz Duur that in can easilly smash my deck in adding with the Martel's icon removal.

I close the game to the thinrd plot with Rise of the Kraken because i see all the key char and my opponent excepted of Quentyn Martell ( that killed Asha during his Wildfire ) and the Dragons has not seen any big char

Top 8 - Stark Fealty - Jaquen (L)

The rematch! at this point i'm really tired, and very very happy for the results. I know the ability of the player, it's hard but let's try!

This time the game is more open then the previous one, but the board of Federico is really strong, with The Blackfish + Eddard Stark and Winterfell that hurt me during the only one that count for me. I give a lot of points on the Black fish and Eddard but is the only way to use my two Raiding Longship + Great Kraken during or challenge.

My board is not good as i want, and my two Drowned Men + [Priest of the Drowned God] (/card/02072) and "popped" Asha Greyjoy keep me floating in therms of strenght, But Jaquen keep is total control of the game and points and close 15 to 11
