Hello all, sorry for not posting this sooner but I am a world class procrastinator. I managed 6–1 at Stahleck with this deck, beating fellow meta mate Daniel in the top 32 before being knocked out by Even with Bara Summer in the top 16. Baratheon is probably the hardest matchup for this deck and after the worst setup of the day for me, two cards, I could not put any pressure at all on Even and he easily cruised to victory. I had good setups in my other games so I cannot complain, this is after all second edition where many games are decided by weak setups/economy screw and a few of my opponents suffered from this during the day.

If you are interested in which my matchups were, you can find them at the jousting pavilion: http://thejoustingpavilion.com/players/3358

I am too lazy to go into the details of the deck but the general idea is to have a steady power gain from renown, unopposed and Winter Festival/Heads on Spikes. Saves were key all day because so many decks have a strong murder element to them. I also often used saves on small dudes to keep the big guns safe from Marched to the Wall.

As usual, a big thanks to the swedish meta for support and friendship, and thanks to my opponents for all being good sports.

Congratulation for the result! Achieving something with GJ in the stahleck meta was an incredible achievement!

Will you still play this list or something similar with Valar? Would you put in King Balon's Solar?

Hi Astinus and thank you. Valar has always been Greyjoy's friend so I imagine that the house and this deck will be stronger going forward. Personally I'll probably switch to other houses for a little while, because after a period of playing the same deck I always want a change. King Balon's Solar is interesting, the gold boost can be big but I am unsure if it is worth the spot in the deck with this plot line. A card that needs testing, for sure.

Hi there! Congrats on the great performance. I have a special tournament coming up soon called thrones War, and have been testing around to see what works best with greyjoy. Having placed so high with the house I wanted to hear you're thoughts on what you would be playing :) thank you!

Hi Gbaeby, unfortunately I have no advice to give you because I have not played since Stahleck. Not quitting but a little holiday break. Best of luck in the tournament, I think Greyjoy is a good choice!
