Further Updates to the deck piloted during the siege of meeren

So I took my Winter Deck and brought it to the nationals in my country. Eventually i lost in the top 4 to the eventual nationals champion and steel teammate - CK and his stark deck his deck list is is available on the thronesdb as well.

I took some notes of the entire games these times so hopefully i can get a much better and more detailed gameplay and decision making details this time during the report

A little game guide to the deck - this deck has one focus Military might and military superiority.

  • ensure your opponents do not are not able to continually Marshall characters and build a heavy board presence
  • force them to be defensive or risk losing key characters.
  • clear their board and frustrate them with the lack of characters and economy.
  • you want fast efficient and aggressive challenges to force them into unfavorable positions

its an aggressive choke deck like the nights watch version but less focused on gold stealing and more focused on board clearing

Tournament Report

Swiss Rounds Final Score 4-1

Round 1 - Lost to Lannister Summer (Charlotte Lun)

Lannister had a standard set up with a Tywin Lannister and Lannisport Merchant followed up with a location reducer.

suffice to say the lannister proceeded to put marshall Ser Gregor Clegane Ser Jaime Lannister Ser Ilyn Payne

it was an uphill battle from the start and though i managed to set the choke in a timely ambush of Burned Men and Gold Cloaks allowed tywin to survive and the board to be rebuilt.

unable to stop the power gain i fell in battle

Round 2- Bye (Free Win)

Round 3 - Win over Bara Summer (Yi Sheng)

Having not faced a military heavy choke deck before the opponent kept a hand of heavy costed characters and intrigue based characters.

once the choke set in though being unable to marshall enough board presence majority of his characters fell to the 2 claim plots and the game was over once the board was clear.

Round 4 - Win over Targ Summer (Chewy Quah)

Close match with some play arounds to prevent Dracarys! ultimately the military threat and haevy board presence made it difficult for the opponent to create any attacks without risk of losing even more characters during the swing back. once Syrio hit the board the added stealth ensured the military challenges made it through allowing the board stall to swing in my favor.

Round 5 - Win over Bara Summer (Travis Wong)

why syrio x3 ?

winter plot + beggar king is a very good idea , and i love drogo + famine too .

cowiee85 126

@argento Syrio is what turns a mountain or tywin into a painful play for the opponent - the added stealth breaks board stalls and punishes those with a lack of military icons

Itachi 1

Have you been thinking about Dothraki Sea?

cowiee85 126

@Itachi i did consider it but the conditions to meet the trigger are difficult with the deck streamlined as it is.

s.the.dornishman 1

Would love report if/when you have it. Trying out a similar build soon. :-)

cowiee85 126

@s.the.dornishmanreally sorry its taking me so long to get it done. alot of work has been piling up >< hopefully will have a more detailed update by the end of the week

Hey there, love how inventive the deck is. Any changes u would make for valar? I want to adapt this deck for after the next chapter pack

cowiee85 126

@Gbaebyhey - right now i think valar is very bad for this deck, but i would make the following changes - removing aggo and rakahro & 2 merchant princes adding a possible few wildlings- lower cost cheap wildlings those are the ideas i currently have post valar

Gabegabe 234

Thank u for the response! I've been testing myself what I would do to keep up the board after a valar. 3 fire and blood will obviously retrieve dragons during challenges. And my thought was to use jumping dothraki, so dorthraki sea and blood of my blood mixed with waking the dragon to only keep the bloodriders on the board during challenges. A valar will happen but fire and blood+ rebuilding and isle of ravens will be able to make sure you can keep retrieving it. Would like to know what you think of my idea! Thank you

cowiee85 126

@Gbaeby I did have similar thoughts but have not actually done any testing the few things that stand out are

  • Low gold count of winter plots
  • Beggar king isn't useful on the turn it is played
  • difficulty of winning power challanges
  • keeping a large hand with such low reserve values

For a dothraki focused bounce deck i really wanted to go with summer as the agenda or crossing. both of which i am currently testing and one of which was played by others(crossing)

winter is really gold starved at the moment to support such a strategy I would keep the bounce to a minimum and attempt to play more duplicate characters or save effects - blood magic ritual/waking the dragon

you could even blood of my blood. attack if opponent kills it / blood magic ritual, return the character to hand, play it again the next turn.

Gabegabe 234

You make very good points! lol sad to see that this deck gets hurt by the plot considering it's something more inventive. Blood of My Blood is definitely a good way to retrieve dupes for characters, and rangers cache + Blood Magic Ritual could help save during valar plot phase. I will attempt to build something and run it by you :)

With that said, the Econ is most definitely needed. In that case,you can always use targ Fealty, and still run 4 two claim plots!

Thank you for responding and whatnot it's nice to hear advice from someone who can build creative decks such as this.

cowiee85 126

@Gbaebythanks, and honestly it was with alot of help from my meta that i managed to tune and refine the deck i do agree a targ fealty using 2 claim winter plots to good effect is tempting. i will explore that during the valar release :)

Gabegabe 234

Let me know if you ever come up with something that you would want someone to test! Targ has been my favorite house recently and catching people off guard with the winter agenda sounds awesome :)

cowiee85 126

@Gbaebyhaha sure i will usually post my tournament lists here if they do well. >< somethings you dont want too many people to know - store champs and valar is releasing soon so i'll be looking at the meta change in my region
