Unexpected indeed! - Greyjoy Edition 1.0

• Versiones

This is my 3rd Unexpected Delay deck. The main idea: Open with this plot, protect your characters with attachments, bounce 1 or 2 characters back to your opponent's hand. I like this version the most because it's more flexible. Wraiths in Their Midst is a good alternative opening plot if your opponent has a wide or protected board or if you don't see enough attachments.

Besides, Delay has some synergy with Winter's reserve reduction. I even think a cheeky copy of The Frostfangs might be effective in this deck. Alannys Greyjoy is a great fit, too: reserve reduction on top of her cheap cost and icon.

The rest of the draw deck is pretty tight as is:

• Salty Navigators, Drowned God's Blessings, and Ahead of the Tide let you choose to go second on turn 1 to bounce 2 characters back to your opponent's hand.
• The Iron Throne is good with Kings of Winter and Aeron Damphair (Core).
• Asha Greyjoy dominates small boards, especially with Little Bird attached.
• We Do Not Sow gets rid of econ locations and attachments for more Winter choke and effective Delay play.
• Iron Mines and Risen from the Sea make you leverage Valar Morghulis.

I'm still figuring out the plot deck, though:

• 2x Unexpected Delay, Wraiths in Their Midst, Winter Festival, Valar Morghulis are definite.
• Heads on Spikes is too good to pass up I guess. Destroying a reduced hand, hitting an important character Delay bounced back to hand, plus power gain.
• Marched to the Wall is in my other 2 Delay decks, but I don't like it that much here. I want my Ironborn in the dead, not the discard pile. Stealth, Valar Morghulis and The Seastone Chair could be enough pressure.
• Rise of the Kraken is great if you have the lead. Is it only win-more? Not sure yet.
• Ranger's Cache (a 3rd Winter plot, good before Valar) or Counting Coppers could provide some card draw. Right now, 1 copy of Great Kraken is the only source of additional draw.

Let me know what you think! :-)
