A Most Unlikely Union 1.0

• Versions

I built this deck with a goal in mind: Use Tyrell as the main house since I never have before. Then use Martell banner because I never used them before either.

I love Olenna’s Informant a lot. And to save 4 gold to use with Arianne is amazing. The theme I went with is high claim power challenges. Almost a delayed rush for the win. The strategy is to use chuds and plots to allow the opponent to slowly gain power, and at about turn 4-5, drop the bombs and rush out a win with multiple (hopefully claim 2) power challenges.

The ideal plot order would be:

Summons (for Arianne, Olenna’s Informant, The Knight of Flowers) Filthy Accusations (to slow their key character) Calling the Banners / A Noble Cause Fortified Position (clears renown and stealth, but your renown too) The Winds of Winter (here’s where you drop in Olenna’s informers and use Sunspear)

So for 3 turns they are gaining power, using characters, and by turn 4 the might have a 7 coster out. Use Tears when you win INT and kill characters as needed. I usually let the opponent go first to allow me to trigger Sunspear. Might knock off a few 2 claim MIL challenges this way to help clear the board a bit.

Last turn is where you drop The Knight of Flowers with Dawn, Heartsbane or Hand of the King and push for the win.

After playing a game with this, I want to add Calm Over Westeros to slow their MIL or POW claim if it gets out of control. I also thought A Clash of Kinds might be good, but no room. Marched to the Wall is also a need, but no room. I might need the higher initiative to go second, so I’ll test with these plots.

Advice welcome! I have seen Tyrell focus on MIL challenges with a banner to Lanni or Targ but I thought I’d take it an original direction (at least original from what I’ve seen).
