Dan's version of Tris's deck from EP 1 of Decklist & Chill.

I took out Varys (I found that between Meagre, Brothel Madame and White Tree, I rarely wanted for Levies), and swapped him for Arry. I just adore Arry as a card and with Tyrion she's another potential repeat ambush card, plus draw on top.

I also cut a copy of Yoren for another Benjen, as Benjen is one of the best cards NW has and the 3 cost slot ist just so poor right now. I'll swap him out completely for Dolorous Ed when he drops. Got rid of 1 x Ghost for Bronn as well, since I generally found that I would end the marshalling phase with more gold than my opponent, and it's another Lanni character for Treachery.

I also cut a Taking the Black for a 3rd Milk - Taking the Black is great when you have targets, but in this current big guy meta I found that 2 was too much, as a lot of the time it would be dead in my hand. Milk, on the other hand, is a card I'm never unhappy to see in the big guy meta.

The event section has been through a few alternations. Firstly I cut Levies. Although I like the idea of it, I often found that Levies was overkill after Brothel Madam, Meagre and White Tree. This deck also has a silly amount of MIL icons + Ghost, and can get off PttS with ease thanks to gold shenanigans.

The biggest change is probably the plots. I swapped out Close Call for Building Orders, purely for the White Tree, or if I have that on setup, then some economy instead. I also swapped out a Marched for Filthy Accusations, as it's just a great utility plot and compliments the choke theme of the deck really well. The last change is First Snow for Wildfire. Both plots are great for controlling the board size (which is essential for this deck, you want to keep the board small), but Wildfire just pipped it for me, as you get an extra gold and 2 extra initiative, and also you've got the option of closing the game early by Wildfiring Benjen on a turn where you have 13 power. The downside is of course being slightly more vulnerable to Winterfell, but between Nightmares and Treachery you should be okay.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it, the deck is super fun to play and can hold it's own surprisingly well in the current meta.
