Working on the name still...desert boom seemed kinda lame :P

Its kinda a rush deck. But mostly you play normally until you can explosively gain power via Gossip and Lies.

You should be able to go second with init 8 and let one challenge through to activate The Scorpion's Sting (maybe even Burning on the Sand if it messes you up alot). Alternatively you can send in a reducer or bastard daughter to force unopposed or a challenge loss before your massive two challenges.

Ideally you are on 3-5 power when you start this on turn 4 or so. If you have red viper this makes things even easier. Heres some options:
0-3 unopposed depending on board state and stealth from edric/elia.
6 from renown from The Scorpion's Sting.
3 if you have Doran's Game
1 from power claim (ideally your second mass challenge depending on board)
0-6+ or so from Red Viper (depends on Doran Martell and stealth).
3 Potential from Boneway (doesnt have to be the same turn at all really).

If you have the right cards you can nearly go 0-15 on turn 3. This is unlikely if your opponent is messing with you though. Palace spearmen are currently in over Knights of the sun for better early game and for gossip and lies synergy.

Went fealty for now may consider a rains build to get red viper in all 3 challenges with power behind the throne. (Intrigue with gossip, get token, crown with all crown potential then military with remaining. ) Fealty just makes cost of high costers much more reasonable(Doran Martell, The Red Viper, Starfall Cavalry) as well as helping with Greenblood Trader and Doran's Game.
