I tried to successfully use effciently the new plot The Annals of Castle Black

It worked beautifully. Kudos to Alexander Hynes for your plot, i had a blast.

I will post a small report tommorow and i will share few insight about some cards i used.

Tournament was a regional in Canada on the north shore of Montreal (Laval), 36 ppl attendance, 5 rounds of swiss. Big thank you to my meta mates of the Kings of the North for their insight. Unfortunately i lost in the top 4 in a mirror match.

Interesting deck, thanks for posting it!

Didn't you run into the usual problem with The Annals of Castle Black that, when you wanted to use it, your opponent also had the needed counters in their discard pile? Also, how about trading the Beggar Kings, and maybe even 1x The Roseroad, for 3x Tourney Grounds? They look like a perfect fit for this build.

Last but not least, no setup problems with 15x events?

I'm totally looking forward to your report, and congrats for your result! :-)

@zackBeggar king is more of a tech card against The Seastone Chair, Plaza of Punishment, A Dragon Is No Slave and Renly Baratheon (FFH). I raely need it besides it.

I have no issue with Tourney Grounds, besides i prefer the raw gold, it helps to win dominance, and non-limited location have better chance to stay on board.

Anyway, econ is far from an issue with this deck, i could probably drop the 3 Illyrio's Estate and still be fine 90% of the time.

Regarding setup, this deck can easily recover from almost anything often i found myself in situation people was thinking i couldn't recover from, i opened in a game with Viserys Targaryen (Core), Plaza of Punishment and Slaver's Bay Port and it wasn't that bad. As long you have a dragon on the table you have a board presence.

Ragarding The Annals of Castle Black, i think The Hand's Judgment is a must to prevent the opponent to take advantage from it.

Looks awesome! ^^ But wouldnt be Shadowblack Lane perfect for this deck?

@iaanpossibly, i tried to fit in Shadowblack Lane, i'm not sure what i would cut tho.

It's part of the card that could have been useful, the other change i'm considering, since i dont offer reason to block and i'm too threatening with all those burns, Put to the Torch and more 2-claim plot would have helped me too. This deck is highly destructive, but it's hard to obtain power.
