Lord Commander III: Melee Champ, Stark Banner Rose 1.0

• Versions

Decklist that won the Lord Commander Melee tourney in Roseville, MN at the FFG event center. Three rounds of swiss and a cut to the final table based on current FFG tournament rules. This deck won all four tables.

Key MVP cards:

Sneak Attack - your "go first" plot. played usually on the third or fourth turn

Nightmares 3x - after your opponents declare attackers on the game winning challenge this turns off their renown sticking them at 13 or 14 power. Game saver!

Hand's Judgment 2x - stop a Superior Claim or All Men are Fools or to counter their hand's judgement on your superior claim

Catelyn Stark - add her to the game winning Sneak Attack challenge to turn off all your opponent's card effects and cancels

Bran Stark - stop those "win from hand" events, can't be countered by a hand's judgement

In hindsight, I would change a few plots

Add Summer Harvest (everyone was playing Late Summer Feast)

Add Heads on Spikes (if you ever get to 13 power at the end of a turn)

Remove Wardens of the North (Not enough stark characters in a banner deck, i was nervous about econ and getting stealthed)

Remove Calling the Banners (I found my opponents usually had only 4 characters early when I needed the gold to build a board state)
