The deck leverages the insane synergy between Balon Greyjoy and Margaery Tyrell in raking in unopposed challenges. Add the high amount of Stealth of Greyjoy and the non-loyal renown characters of Tyrell, and you have one mean rush machine.

The first Sneak Attack is usually used for Military. The second Sneak Attack, The Winds of Winter, and A Clash of Kings are your 2nd-4th two-claim Power challenges.

Some thoughts on changes:

Drop Euron Crow’s Eye? Since the deck already has a high curve with the Tyrell splash, this could be justifiable.

Add one more The Kraken’s Grasp.

I also play a version like this.

In a few days I will post a larger topic on Cardgamedb outlining the deck.

Basically here is how the deck has to work in theory:

-Get Balon and / or Tarly out have them stand multiple times and beat face.

The deck really desperately needs Seal of the Hand, put in on Balon and your opponent will cry tears of sadness.

I run three Randylls and Three Balons and might even cut Euron entirelly to save gold. When you have Randyll + Heartsbane on the board with some stealth or with Balon it is going to be rough for your opponent to come back. Loras is strong but doesn’t synergize with the deck as Randyll does as you are playing Margeary anyways.

I also don’t think that We Do not Sow and Put to the Sword have to be 3’offs, 2 is fine, as are 2 little birds. And what is the reason for not playing Rose Road? Because its to slow?

Hey @Barnie25. I do not run Roseroads because I do believe there isn’t enough draw to justify it.

I might just drop Euron and go up in copies for Tarly. However, he’s so vulnerable to Tears of Lys. I will refine the deck more as the weeks pass by, but for now, I will be focusing on 1.0 Nationals. :P
