Queen Cersei Hyper Rush - Battle of Trident 2016 PH Winner 1.0

• Versiones
• 1.0

I have been experimenting theories on how to use Queen Cersei efficiently because the card has no "practical" application to existing Lannister core concepts which is mainly board control with KILL effects such as PttS and Trial By Combat in which core Cersei would execute better. I tried bannering first with Stag and Sun to combo the Queen with Seen in Flames and Motley or Viper's Eyes and Bastard daughter. Power gain was still slow and the soft control given by either Banner Stag or Sun ain't enough to cover 1 big weakness of using Queen Cersei: Being prone to PttS due to weak military. So I decided, why not capitalize on the main reason why you use the Queen in the first place which is POWER GAIN. Crossing agenda was perfect for this because Cersei ALONE can do 3 challenges as long as I have Casterly Rock out. I can hold off doing military for defense until I gain good board position. I use Tywin for defense (MIL). Double heads on spikes for instant easy 3 power gain if you get a character out. The addition of Lannisport Guard was perfect because 1. CARD DRAW. 2. It forces your opponent to have a card in their hand for Cersei to eat. 3. It has an ALLY trait. This deck has 11 ally cards, good enough to capitalize Street of Silk as my semi "draw" engine to keep the chuds flowing until I win by second, third or fourth plot and to avoid my superstar characters from being marched if ever my board became so small. This deck has weak military so chuds are very important! With the plots, I decided not having either Wildfire Assault or First snow because we want to win fast and we don't care about the opponent's board position. Seal of the hand for the Bara match up and avoid being killed by Seastone Chair and brought back to hand by the annoying Unexpected Delay House Frey plot. Last tech I added was Superior Claim. Queen Cersei solved the power icon problem for Lannisters and they won't see it coming. :)

I used this deck in 2 pods of Battle of Trident, results as follow:

POD 1

• Round 1: Bara-Sun (yes the cancer deck) = WIN
• Round 2: Tyrell-KOW = LOSE. Cersei got PttS-ed. :(
• Round 3: Lanni-Rains = WIN
• I ended up 2nd place.

POD 2

• Round 1: Bara-KOS = WIN
• Round 2: Martel-Fealty = WIN
• Round 3: Targ-KOS = WIN

Things to change in the deck: Remove Chella for Gregor's Marauders. I don't kill enough characters to activate her Intimidate+Renown. When the new pack arrive, remove 2 Superior claim to add 3 Without his Beard.

I VOTED FOR MAESTERS BTW!
