Winner - Imaginaire (Quebec) SC Feb 2016 - Lanni/Sun 16 11 2 1.0

cml 128

If you have board position early, destroy the hand while playing plots to stall out military challenges. If you do not, Varys early while continuing to attack the hand. As with most Lannister, Tywin is your most important card, but Nymeria is a reasonably close second - the control and challenge opportunities she opens up are phenomenal.

Went 4-0 in Swiss with this at a 23 person SC in Manchester, CT (which put me second, thanks to the new FFG recommended round structure). During Swiss, I had wins over Stark Fealty, Targaryen Banner of the Lion, Greyjoy Banner of the Lion and Targaryen Banner of the Rose. Lost in the cut in a rematch with the same Targaryen Rose deck.

Did you find the single copy of Syrio Forel useful? If so was it for preventing your opponent from stealthing you or was it offensive? Did you miss Ser Jaime Lannister at all, even as a 1 of? Since your bannering Martell did you test Palace Spearman at all? Lastly were there any changes you would make to this deck.

Sorry for all the questions, I’ve been playing a similar deck (without the newest chapter pack) and wad wondering about your experiences with it.

How well this deck go against Lanni/Rose, which seems to be everywhere and currently, i dare to say the best deck in the meta

cml 128

@omgitsblake - Syrio had three purposes in my mind: offensive, defensive and to supplement military icons. I was usually happy to see him, although there was one game where he sat in my hand because I was already rolling. I definitely like having him in, as stealth was the trickiest thing to deal with all day.

I didn’t include Ser Jaime Lannister because I wanted to keep my cost curve lower, and he and Syrio basically occupied the same spot. Given the way the games played out, I’m more worried about stealth than I am about slow power gain, so I’m inclined to leave that piece as is, but you could try swapping Jaime in.

cml 128

@omgitsblake The Palace Spearman are great, but I had trouble fitting them in with the cost curve - I wanted to make sure I was still having good setups. It might be a card worth trying, but I think it will require a very careful eye on the cost curve, so for the moment I am leaving them out.

Still thinking about any changes I would make. The events were all super useful, so I’m tempted to go to a third The Things I Do For Love or a third The Hand’s Judgment. Once again, though, I am concerned about setups.

I’m not entirely sold on the second copy of Grand Maester Pycelle either. I wanted to supplement my own draw to try and take advantage of emptying my opponent’s hand, but in practice I found I often did not want to play him when I drew him. I’ll test more, but one copy of him may turn into a third House Dayne Knight, Bastard Daughter or Brothel Madame.

cml 128

@YellowJacket - hard for me to say at this point, since I didn’t play against Lannister Rose. However, I think it will at least be okay against it. The Lannister package is obviously very similar. By swapping to Martell as a banner, I give up some raw challenge power in exchange for control. Clearing Margaery Tyrell off the board is critical - if you can’t just Varys, I would be inclined to try and use Nymeria Sand and Tears of Lys to remove her. It’s an interesting matchup, certainly, and one I’m looking forward to testing more.

How did you play TRtW in this tournament? Pack wasn’t out this week in the UK.

@imabunneh - Manchester, Connecticut, in the States.

Aha, Fake Manchester! :)

@cml Awesome list man, thanks for sharing!

How was Supporting the Faith with Brothel Madame? The combo is cute. Thinking about replacing it with a high gold plot (Trading with the Pentoshi or Calling the Banners).

And what location is the more important one in this deck?

Thanks!

cml 128

@BillyDooku- Supporting the Faith was great all day. The synergy with the Brothel Madame is obvious, but even when I didn't have her out, it was a 6 gold plot that usually keeps events stuck in the opponent's hand where I have another shot at getting it on Intrigue claim.

I can see an argument for Trading with the Pentoshi - I don't like the plot at all, but this kind of deck is probably the one best able to leverage it right now. Calling the Banners is probably creating similar or one more income than Supporting, and I value the effect more. Most of my plots are higher gold, as well, so I always felt like I had an economic advantage there.

Hard to say which the more important location is. I guess if forced to I'd say Casterly Rock. The extra challenge is great for possible unopposed and additional damage to the hand, and at 2 gold it's a little easier to play than Lannisport.

BillyDooku 110

@cml It is true that Tyrion doesn't fully support the faith... lol

I think I will give Calling the Banners a try because of the high initiative. Our other plots are really low aside from Marched to the Wall and we can't always play it for the initiative. Was that a problem for you?

cml 128

@BillyDooku - I was never concerned about initiative. I found during the day there were advantages to going both first and second, and as long as I was able to keep claim soak out / shut down their Military challenges, I was fine either way.

BillyDooku 110

@cml Great, thanks for your time. I will be tweaking this deck for an upcoming SC.

cml 128

@BillyDooku - No problem! Let me know what tweaks you make and how you do with it.

@cml1 Grand Maester Pycelle became 1 House Dayne Knight Baratheon kneel can be rough if they can get out lots of dupes... other than that this deck is rather viscious

BillyDooku 110

For me Pycelle became a Bastard Daughter, I feel the interrupt is more valuable then the intrigue icon from House Dayne Knight as we have so many already.

Looks like really solid and smart, but why not go further and add a 2nd Supporting and/or Game of Thrones. I know plots slots are few though. I think i'll either try to add a 3rd Widows for it is an incredible card for setup and Targ matchups. Is 'things I do' always doing the job for you?

cml 128

@kordo - I'd love to add A Game of Thrones, but the plot slots are just so tight. I can't see replacing any of the plots I currently have with it or a second Supporting - Calm is such a great opener, and Marched is key if you're running Varys. Things I Do is great in terms of flexibility, but isn't required and is obviously not a set up card. I could see cutting it - third Wail isn't bad, nor would be a third Bastard Daughter or House Dayne Knight. I see that slot as a "flex" slot, though.

BillyDooku 110

@cml After some testing, I came back to almost exactly your list. It is quite solid and polished.

Changes are - 1 Pycelle +1 Bastard Daughter and -1 Supporting the Faith +1 Calling the Banners (or Calling the Varys as my playgroup calls it).

Leaving for Quebec today for tomorrow's SC, I will probably write a report afterwards.

cml 128

@BillyDooku Why thank you. I have a slightly tweaked version for my meta right now: -1 Lannisport, +1 Western Fiefdom, -1 Pycelle, -1 Nymeria, +1 Bastard Daughter, +1 House Dayne Knight. For my area, I needed to tweak with a lower curve. I have another SC this weekend that I'm playing in - I'll let you know how it goes, and definitely keep me posted how yours goes.

BillyDooku 110

@cml I've been thinkimg of taking Nymeria down to 2x but she is so key in the game plan that I couldn't get myself to it.

Lannisport is quite costly at 3 but is our only card draw.

cml 128

@BillyDooku Sorry, forgot to mention that I also swapped Syrio for Littlefinger, so I was comfortable switching the 1x Lannisport.

BillyDooku 110

Ahhhhhhh lol

BillyDooku 110

@cml I'll get back with some kind of report but just wanted to let you know I won that SC.
