Hi guys, this is the deck that i played at italian national, making 5-2 trough the day.The idea is to fight with the lannister heavy meta without losing too much field to stark and targaryen.I tested this deck for two months, and this is the final form.The idea is to reset the board if needed and restar with the low curve and the draw effects, cause as you probably know martell benefits are incresed when the board is small.Varys is mandatory for the house right now, it is an excellent control tool that limits every deck.Aniway, i will give a short recap of the matches

1- vs lanni kow (Folladori) L turn one was really hard for me, folla is one of the best italian players.I saw a lot of economy in that game but his shadowblack did a lot of work and he was able to find quickly the treacherys to shut down all my treats.I tried to reset with varys but it was a vain try.The lacks of vengeance for elia also helped to clean my board.

2- vs Lanni sun W I dont remember too much from this game.He setup double mountain, i setup tyene.I played imprisoned on the mountain on turn 1,venomous on pycelle and vengeance on his military.The turn after i flipped long winter, venomous take out his reducers and the claim 2+ tyene smashed his board.

3- vs martell lion W In this game varys was the mvp.She open with trading putting down tyrion duped and huller, i played varys that magically make his board disappear.I flipped marched and the viper eyes take down her hound and vengeance from the hand.Then i controlled easily the board and went to the 15 points easily.

4- lanni wolf W I remember that the first turns we studied a lot, he have tyrion, jaime and bran out.My venomous blade and attainted allows me to go overkill and then i controlled his board till win.

5- lanni wolf L (Ale Guida) Ale is a meta friend, i never wanted to play against him in swiss, but it happens.Aniway he setup tywin,instead i have nym and tyene out.At a certain point he duped tywin,and played arya, followed by varys that hits me a lot.The turn after i marched arya but he played fast ned that allows him to close the game to 15 the turn that i played my own varys.

6- Greyjoy fealty W nothing special here, he setupped at 6 with asha and played balon on turn 1 with the ships, remaining with 2 card in hand.I played varys,the i flip the long winter and that was the game

7- Greyjoy dragon W turn one huge pentoshi-summer harvest, he played pyke,mirri,balon and seastone chair.On my own, i played nym, tyene, imprisoned on balon and milk on mirri to shut down his offensive treats.The turn after i attacked him with long winter, then i flipped marched and that was game

i finished 5-2 ending 23 out of 116.My meta friends did very well: ale g, ended 5-2 like me, and marco won the swiss going 7-0 with a very similar martell varys deck(we test the deck togheter).

the day after unfortunately i lose again to Folla, but it was an epic game: he played always fearing tears and vengeance, and i play feared by ptts and trial.So on plot 6 we was 1 power to 0 :).The game was decided when i played varys after he used 2 treacherys only to know that he had the 3rd one in hand!Probably i would win the game if that varys didnt fizzle, but Folla played perfectly, he awarded the win ;)

so a huge thanks to all the people i meet and know at this phantastic event, hope i will see you back soon!

Congrats! Just one question : Which plot is usually your opener because there's not a lot of choise?

gabsnow18 70

Hi @beren miriel my opener is usually summer harvest,dont worry if you hit another summer harvest,cause you have usually a smaller curve than your opponent;) Sometimes i open with calling when i think that my opponent will open with summer h and i can take advantage of this opener.

Hello @gabsnow18 this looks like a very interesting list. Do you think the 3rd Varys is really necessary? If not, what would you play instead of the 3rd copy?

gabsnow18 70

Hi @Valddan.3 varys are mandatory,above all with this plot deck(no coppers or summons).In my opinion or you run 3x varys and a deck built around it or have to remove him at all

Very nice deck and congrats on doing well with it! How was Doran for you - would this be better as another starfall calvary instead? Are there any changes you would make after the event, or when the new pack comes out? Any thought of adding a second venemous blade?

@YEEZUS hi!thanks for the congrats. Doran was initially the 2nd cavalry but since the cavalry is a semi-dead card in the 1st 3 plots i slotted one doran,cause i can play without regrets also in the 1st 3 plots, and the insight is always sweet, especially in this deck.After the event probably i will remove a rattleshirt to slot 1x pyromancers, that helps a lot with the raising nw and bara meta.If needed, you can cut also the 2nd rattle for the 2nd pyro, but this depends a lot of the meta.With the new pack im interested to try the female spearman, but in another build cause i dont think that fit well in this deck.Venomous was initially 2x, but i found it redundant cause in these lanni heavy meta is less useful, so i cut the venomous to 1x and slotted the 3rd attainted
