The Dead Drowned House 1.0

• Versiones
• 1.0

This is the first deck list I publish as I was asked by several people on TheIronThrone to do so. So here it is.

As I am not a competitive player and never attended a Tournament, I like to play themed decks or decks with a certain trick or gag that do not necessarily have to be flawless. In this case, the theme is easy and quite straight forward: Kill your drowned Gods and revive them, again and again. Besides Theon and WDNS (and this one copy of the very handy Tris) the Deck hence does not feature the usual suspects such as Balon, Euron, Vic, etc. If you like to play the deck, you might add them at the expense of a bit nedlyness, propably becoming more powerful (although I'm not really sure that this is the case!).

Strategy: Quite simple: play defensively, try to win pow challenges and dom with Naggas Ribs. You want to have Aeron on the Board to revive his own dupe, Theon, or (more powerful) The Apostle...or Tarle. How does Tarle end up in the dead pile? If he was headed on spikes its clear, if he was pillaged or discarded for int use naggas ribs to put him in the dead pile if you feel/know to win Dom. Usually this is followed by Valar by your opponent, so be sure to have a dupe an Aeron, Iron mines on the Board or Risen in hand.

People ask me: you can't win this without Tarle? The answer is, yes: he is great, but not necessary. More deceisive are the Disciples. They add up power very fast and are triggerd by Aeron, Old Wky or my favorite card, the Fanatic. Put the Fanatic in the dead pile by cancelling a Character Ability. Do not hesitate to use him for small reducers, you really want him in the dead pile. Kill the Acolyte to get him into play and gain power via the Acolyte and the Disciple. That's all!

Plot line: I argued a lot with people about the plot line, but honestly most of the time they work fine. You will always open with plenty to have the gold and the cards. Second plot commonly is Feast for Crows, for several reasons: if your opponent doesnt have the Irone Throne, you will likely win dom, you have a lot gold again and the low reserve helps to fill your dead pile. The rest depends on the board: Decide between the three resets depending on the Board or get trade routes to have enough Gold for Tarle to revive your Acolytes from the dead pile to trigger the Disciple. Confiscation is for Frozen Solid or Milked Tarle/Aeron (so is WDNS in general).

Else: Jade Sea Dromond's primary target is the Iron Throne and/or the Painted Table, as WDNS is if you don't want or need to spare it for a possible Frozen Solid.

Matchups (referring to common meta decks)

Baratheon works surprisingly smooth. Cancel Melisandre with the Fanatic and discard the Table or the Throne as said above.

Targ: Its a mess! All your Chars will get burned. You have to do a lot UO and protect your main Chars with the Cudgel. Good luck!

NW: Easy Matchup. The Core Wall is not fast enough and the New Wall will never Trigger, as all your chars go to the dead pile.

Stark: Stark likes to kill, we like to be killed. Issues are the often mentioned Frozens and also Ward (on Aeron or your non-unique with acummulated power)

Martell: slow games are good, as you need some time to set yourself up. Before they play Doran's Game, you should be set.

GJ: Bad matchup. Location control and other tricks can hurt. Resets don't work good against GJ, too.

Tyrell: It depends if you are fast enough against the fast and renown Tyrell. Often, you are not

Lanni: I had this matchup against Tower of the Hand, this was horrible for me. In a normal setting you should be able to survive with the three resets before you can strike with the Disciple.

Qohor: Qohor mostly has Seized, what of course hurts. Be sure to keep your Confiscation for it, even if your Aeron or Tarle is milked. If he has Isle of Ravens, too, you propably loose.

As said, there are some matchups where you nearly don't have a chance, so maybe you should better not bring this Deck to a Tournament. For Casual play it's fun as hell.

So, that's it. Hope you like the deck, comments welcome.
