Angry Weenies - Winner of Hand's Tourney Paris, 120 players 1.0

Glad to discover that the deck that has beaten me hard in playtesting a few days before the tournament ended up winning it :)

Congrats Brainu!

Seing the deck running for the first time, I developped the theory that it was " V2 Hardcontrol". In V1, Martell hardcontrol was based on the idea of making opponent's cards unuseful in the end, but abundance of economy and draw makes the control tools harder: complete cancel of challenge without condition, sending back claim, additional table reset with an event, recycling of big events from the discard pile. In this V2 where resources are scarce, your way of hardcontrol is to "remove" opponent's character before challenge ( Harrenhal, Ward, Venomous Blade, His Viper's Eyes, Naval Superiority) and attrition what hits the board (Marched *2, Ghaston Grey). Compared to V1, you have much more characters, because you rely more on preventing unoposed while leading a war of economical attrition. I am impressed by the idea, you developed your experience of Stark to melt it with Martell, for an innovative list that I did not see coming at all. It's rare that players with innovative ideas also win the tournament in the end, moral justice is respected there ! And thanks for making my pronostic verified ;)

In Round 6 you used blade and mill claimed..but the blade is at the end of the phase and claim is before why the oppo didn t simply kill the poisoned char?

@Lohn : blade can be triggered in marshall ;).

@Brainu : you know all the good i think of you, you know how i had fun playtesting with you, with our game of weenies decks, congratz again mate, your victory is more than derserved, you're the best mate ! Now you have to rock out Stahleck !!

Ambush is a keyword only in challenges

This deck is absolutely awesome! Very well done...keep blackwatering those greedy players! ;)

@Lohn - you can just marshal it, don't have to ambush it. Still enters play.

GG for your win, you deserve it ;) The top 4 match was painful to play, got totally outplayed as you made me do wrong choices all over the game.

Great deck as well, it always good to see weenies win over big characters ;)

@BenjiThis is not hardcontrol, this is just pure aggro (death is a form of control... but you can't say it's a control deck :D)

any changes to the beck now that the NW box is out?

Impressive work Brainu ! That was amazing !

@Lohn: You just have to marshall it, it's when the card enter in play not when it's ambushed as Zaramis told you ;).

Bon comptant de voir que le deck qui m'a battu en tyrell aggro lors de nos partie d'entrainement termine premier. Pour la sortie de la NW je crois que J'ai des chances avec un deck de constructeur certe y'a le venin persistant mais j'ais la gestion propre perso défausse hiver éco. Se qui promet peu être un beau match up mais pour le tournoi vue que se deck contrôle était pas sortie le Martel loup est juste parfait. Chapeau l'artiste Après le contrôle ça demande d'être patien et une bonne dose de self contrôle comme je me targ de le dire le deck de Brainu je le passé à quelqu'un d'autre et mon % de victoire remonte de 50% sait pas à la porter de tout le monde faut être patient.

Your smile after winning your last game was priceless. ^^

Des choix très audacieux, félicitations! Ward et Harrenhal c'est très fort! J'aime aussi l'idée de Battle of Blackwater!

The biggest problem I personally have with your deck, is that it relies heavily on outplays, using Naval superiority to deny gold, or Forgotten plans to cancel out first snow which otherwise pretty much leaves you with nothing on board, So basically if your opponent has an idea of what he is playing against he should have a good shot, for example starting safe with i.e. "A Time of Plenty" or playing any kraken combination with risen from the sea and iron mines non-dupe saves should quite ruin your game plan with valar/harenhall and also you can't discard bodyguards. But hey, I didn't test it/ play against it, so i might be wrong.

@Vrgmaister Brainu won the final versus a Greyjoy player in Best Of 3. Alex is one of the best GJ French players, and he knew brainu's deck after the first game. The thing is this deck is really hard to counter, because even with saves, it's difficult to progress. Opponent's hand decreases really fast, and with few characters on board, it's hard to attack because uou have to be really aware about military claims. Big guys are blocked by Ghaston Grey. Mines can help against Harrenhal, but it's one mine less before another Valar.

www.cardgamedb.com This is a list i played often I refered to, I dislike maining Greyjoys because i cant win vs Baratheon kneel lol, would be interesting to see if Brainu's deck can consistently grind me out, I might ask a friend to try it so we can 1v1, its a nice deck obviously, espc dangerous if you dont know its stuff.

Is there video up of this deck in action?

It should be up next week !

@Vrgmaister the deck is not necessarily easy to play. You can't rely on one or two OP characters that will win the game for you. I think the fact that the deck requires thinking and out playing the opponent is a problem for weaker players.

I was matched aganst NW winter with White Tree on setup and a couple of Meager Contributions. I couldn't play a card that game with this plot line. Each round I was left with 1 or 2 gold for marshalling. So I guess the deck has its bad times as well.

@at.keranov Brainu and i used to playtest together as I was playing a Nw winter choke deck, the match up was pretty tight, we were at 50% against each other, knowing each other's plots, so it was a lot of mind game too. The deck is really cheap as well, it helps against choke too.

@jon-z You are wrong my friend, I also rely on OP events (Treachery) and OP Greyjoy locations lol.

@VrgmaisterI did not intend to offend you. I was just saying that the deck is not so easy to win with, which is basically your point. You seem to prefer having intrinsequely strong and stable cards, it's your choice and it says nothing about your skill. It makes things easier though not really interesting imho.

If you want to play something interesting, you have to go the "out playing opponent" route, which is obviously harder, and even if you are very strong winning is far from guaranteed.

Why no Vengeance for Elia?

`@Kakita_Shiro You cannot setup it, 2 gold make it hard to afford (n, and at the end most of time its not needed to clean the board.

(Not a lot of economy, u prefer play chud most of the time)

brainu, how can i show u a martell deck i have so that i can get some comments from a great martell player :D

hello, any change in your deck recently?
