Stark Bannerman Joust -

This deck was built for a special rules tournament in the Pacific Northwest last weekend. The "Stark Bannerman Joust" required every deck to either play with Stark as their banner agenda or as their main faction.

This deck finished 2nd going 4-1. It only lost to Lannister/Wolf and had the lead for much of that game.

While not going for the full-choke plot line, collectively Naval Superiority, Ward, White Tree, A Meager Contribution, and Yoren generate a strong economic advantage for you.

5 of the plots give you a decent chance to go 2nd and going 2nd helps White Tree and A Meager Contribution greatly boost what you can marshal.

Even if you are going first, that stolen gold can fuel Nightmares, The Watcher on the Walls, and Ser Alliser Thorne (each of which had a game-swinging moment in 3 of my 4 victories).

In the 4th victory, Jon Snow sacrificed himself to stand a Warded Ser Davos Seaworth who pushed through an unopposed power challenge for the win.

While I happened to not run into Winterfell, I included Snowed Under to be sure I could play normally for at least 1 key turn if it showed up.

I think Bran Stark is the best card to include in most Banner of the Wolf decks, but in this case I assumed that each of my opponents would be playing Bran and I was counting on Ward or Varys/Marched+Yoren to take control of him.

Unrestricted Play -

If I was adjusting this deck for a more traditional tournament, I'd go -1 Jon -1 Frozen Solid for +2 Bran. I'd also probably swap out Arya Stark for Sansa Stark. This would also let me slot in Arry without worrying about keeping them off the board at the same time.

In a close match I had against Bara, I certainly would have preferred having Arry pop back to hand when my opponent had Stannis Baratheon keeping so many characters knelt.

Have fun with tweaking this one.

Thanks again to Gabriel for hosting and thanks to everyone for the fun games!

Well done on the result! A well earned 2nd place with NW, how effective was Varys riddle for you as a plot and when did you feel like you had to flip it? Did you always ward then flip fallen from favour to draw the confiscation from the plot deck on your opponents side or did you just leave it?

Congrats!

I thought i saw Jon Snow from the core. LOL. Very interesting choice of plots but i think it suits the deck and your strategy very well.

How was your hit rate for Naval Superiority, over 50%?

@Acloakofred Varys Riddle was strong. I believe it hit in 3 games and was a big in 2: Calm Over Westeros for power preserved a lead in a close game and Filthy Accusations let me kneel his Robert after he knelt my Old Bear.

As for the stolen characters... yes, I gennerally tried to ditch them by the next plot phase to prevent them being recovered via Confiscation or First Snow. Some games I let them die for military claim, sometimes Jon sacrificed them to stand someone, otherwise Fallen or Marched made them disappear.

@ironlix I'm a little foggier on how many times it hit. It was either 3 or 4. The 3 A Noble Cause hits I remember clearly, and I believe I also caught a Marching Orders. Double-clutched in the Lannister matchup when I'd considered it and would have hit Pentoshi (which put him back in the game with Jaime and a pair of claim soakers). Oh well, really nice plot right now but we'll see how strong it remains with the Summer/Winter agendas coming out soon.

Nice work! I'm curious why you included 3 Heart Tree Groves when you only have 9 Stark cards (2 of which would be duplicates). Is that just to help with Ward?

@teamjimby Yes, the number 1 reason to have them was to play Ward and/or Frozen Solid any turn I had one in hand. Secondly, it gave me 3 more 0 cost cards that helped my set-up phase in several games. I thought they were a better fit for my overall strategy to play the most economically impactful cards than a character that might have been warded.
