So obviously the deck performed very well... I just had a couple questions...

No Melissandre? Any version would seem to work well in the deck.
How is the decks tempo? It seems like it could function as a delayed rush deck.
Forgotten plans on Mels scheme round. Have you ran into that often? If so How do you recover?
forgotten plan to mel schemes is really bad....but since i use it more like a closer is not the end of life. Just don't be obvious with it ;).

The tempo is strange, sometimes it's fast (win by turn 2 or 3 with red wedding), sometimes is a later rush. Sometimes you don't rush at all. With so many good lord closers (renly and cortnay are closers with huntress too), it's difficult to guess and control one of them. (in contrast to lanni rush where you have to deal with cersei and you are golden)
A friend put this together after seeing your list. I played against it then with it, 2 games each way. On first glance it didn't look that vicious but it can grab SO much power if you aren't paying attention. Very well done!

Wait till he gets used to it.....as you say at first glance i doesn't look that vicious, well it's the same for using it, untill you get the good points and bad ones the full power doesn't appear. I consider this (or similar) to be the best baratheon builds....well and wildings too.

How useful is Val without The Laughing Storm?
My guess is with Brightwater Keep and Mel's Scheme its pretty nice.

About Val:

I actually use her to discard and get 0 cost locations afte using all the gold......so pretty useful, she speed the deck quite nicely. Recommendation though, use r'hllor blessing on her if you expect city plots since she is definetly the target.

The one card i was never happy to see was fury, so i would leave maybe 1. (only pay for it if you must....with val)
