Hi guys

I brought this deck to SG Open because I wanted to play fast games and surprisingly got into finals. This is my 1st time placing so high.

The tournament was filled with cthulu worshippers. 12 Greyjoys in a 39 player tourney. http://thejoustingpavilion.com/tournaments/3565/stats

Going second is far too good, and this deck is all about tempo rush. Its good against rush and control because you want to end fast, and a lot of the other rush players like to go 1st and marshal big characters.

Swiss

Game 1 vs KIM TIAN aka Arch Nemesis (Tyrell Watch) - Lose

He set-up Left Right and The Wall. While I set-up The Arbor and Alerie Tyrell. I got a duped Renly Baratheon (FFH) out and he marshalled Randyll Tarly. No dupes. Plot 2 flipped Valar Morghulis on his 3 character board and wiped his board. He opened Building Orders, took something but I forgot. Then I marhsalled Brienne of Tarth and Margaery Tyrell (Core). He marhsalled a small dude and Craven Renly and Brienne, Milk of the Poppy on Marg. Plot 3 I confiscated craven to which he had another one to put on Renly and from then it was just The Wall slowly winning him the game.

Game 2 vs Siti (Greyjoy Crossing) - Win

This game was about who was the faster power earner. After 1st plot she had Balon Greyjoy (Core), Victarion Greyjoy and Iron Islands Fishmonger. I had Renly Baratheon (FFH), Ser Jon Fossoway, Courtesan of the Rose and Garden Caretaker. I did all 3 challenges which she did gave all UO giving me a 6 power start. Then she just did power as her 1st challenge and played Superior Claim. Next plot I marshalled Brienne of Tarth and Appointed on her and Crown of Golden Roses King king Renly Baratheon (FFH). She marshaled Euron Crow's Eye. She couldn't get thru the wall of Brienne of Tarth and Renly Baratheon (FFH), not without stealth.

Game 3 vs Will Chong (Targ Lion) - Win

This game. Oh my. Those burns. He was playing the hyper aggresive smash bros Khal Drogo and Ser Jaime Lannister (Core) with the witch Mirri Maz Duur. Had to mull for Milk of the Poppy or Nightmares. But he made the mistake of over-committing his board and after I marshaled The Arbor I just played Valar Morghulis. I endured 3 Dracarys! and a Crown of Gold but he didn't have Daenerys Targaryen so it was a slow grind for me.

Game 4 vs Elyssa (Tyrell Stark) - Win

Fellow Tyrell players were facing each other this round whilst the Tyrell killer (Kim Tian) is scott-free. It was pretty standard rush vs rush again and I just had to be reactive and wait for her to over commit the board. After I found The Arbor and using Ser Hobber Redwyne to find more dupes, I quickly played Valar Morghulis to curb the power gain and it went downhill for her since due to 2 Pleasure Barge decreasing her economy and she only had 1 Rose Garden.

Game 5 vs Jason Lee aka My master (Lanni Rains) - Win

This sucker didn't want to play with his apprentice because we both knew how each other's deck work. So he got Valar Morghulis 2nd plot. Screw Cersei Lannister (LoCR), Tywin Lannister (Core) and Tyrion Lannister (Core).

Top 8

Game 6 vs Martin Widjaja (Greyjoy Fealty) - Win

This was probably the most nerve wrecking game for me because its my 1st top 8. He set-up Victarion Greyjoy Iron Islands Fishmonger The Roseroad. I set-up Courtesan of the Rose Garden Caretaker and The Arbor. 1st plot he marshaled Balon Greyjoy (Core), duped Aeron Damphair (Core), The Iron Throne and another Iron Islands Fishmonger. I marshaled duped Margaery Tyrell (Core). I did my challenges and left myself wide open for his challenges since he has no gold and Fealty was knelt. Plot 2 was the deciding plot, I had to bank on him not having any Risen from the Sea as he has 3 cards left, so I opened Valar Morghulis to his A Feast for Crows. After Balon Greyjoy (Core) and Victarion Greyjoy died I was so relieved because he let me go 1st and I had House Florent Knight. So, with 5 gold, I marshaled House Florent Knight and discarded his Aeron Damphair (Core). He didn't marshal anything and I just got more UO power, leaving me at 10 power to his 4 power. Plot 3, I opened Name Day Tourney and I forgot what he played. So I went 1st, marshaled The Knight of Flowers and Ser Colen of Greenpools and he conceded after.

Top 4

Game 7 vs Kim Tian AGAIN (Tyrell Watch) - Win by def

He had to serve the nation and had to leave early. We played a fast casual game to me setting up Olenna's Informant and The Roseroad. He set-up duped Left and some other cards. Plot 1, he had the whole gang out again with dupes this time Left Right centre, up and down. So I couldn't get thru his epic wall defense and he conceded at 14 power.

Summary

I think the deck has a surprise factor of the card Valar Morghulis. Half of the opponents I face got shocked when I played it. Lady Sansa's Rose proved to be not a 3x card. Having Superior Claim is so much better as it only need to satisfy 1 criteria instead of 2.

Reasons

Pleasure Barge - I don't like long term negative effect cards. The problem with this card is that I have to find economy cards to counteract the -1 gold for next turn, or I have to play higher econ plot cards.

Name Day Tourney - Summer plot that can counter Winter Festival and surprise factor. Potential combo card with The Knight of Flowers and [Lady Sansa's Rose] (/card/02024).

Ser Robar Royce - Not enough summer plots and its The First Snow of Winter prone.

A BIG thank you to Le Serious Council for taking time out to organize this event even when some are busy working, planning and having wedding. Thanks to team VS for supporting me thru the event (I am finally no longer a sacrificial pawn for you guys to get into Top 8). Also, thank you to Master Tywin for training with me.

The Knight of Flowers

Awesome work there! It was a pity the Tyrell Wall was a major problem if not, you would have a clean victory till the finals.
