This deck went 3-1 at my local battle of the trident, it came runner-up out of 17 participants.

It's an original deck in which I've focused on using Bloodriders and Khal Drogo to clear the opponent's board. It tries to get maximum value out of 2-claim winter plots and the choke KoW offers. Military challenges are always priority #1 here even into the late game.

I won the first three games very very convincingly by prioritising getting Drogo out early and then spamming 2 claim plots. I repeatedly managed to clear the board and get my opponent to concede by the third turn.

In order of appearance I beat Bara-Fealty, Lanni-Kraken, and Greyjoy-Bara.

Final game at the top table I came up against Targ-Summer. I had a poor initial draw and mulliganed into one that was only slightly better. I had no economy/locations/reducers. However I might have been able to stabilise except I made a really bad mistake early on:

First plot I used Confiscation to remove my opponents beggar king, only to have him Milk my Syrio Forel that turn, which was the only decent card I had out and the only way I had to get through his strong boardstate. Had I gone with my second choice, winter festival, I might have dropped Drogo earlier and then gotten rid of said milk. As it was, he flooded the board and I couldn't recover.

Still pretty happy with how it performed and chalk up the loss partially to luck but also my own error in going off-plan.

Note that I was quite lucky in managing to find Drogo quickly or even flop with him in all four games. As much as this was simple luck, there are also parts of the deck I didn't see at all throughout the tournament. Throughout the tournament I never drew a single "waking the dragon" and only saw one "blood of my blood", both of which are exceptional cards that are important to the deck.

While drogo is the optimal draw, this deck has performed well without me ever seeing him and I still feel its up to a decent standard.

You mention you used confiscation, but there is no confiscation in the list, have you decided to switch any plot?

Argh, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Just before the tourney I switched out Snowed Under for Confiscation and forgot to edit it here before I published. I can't seem to fix it now without republishing the whole deck? I'll probably just leave it as I only put this up for a friend to check out. Thanks for looking though!
