Two ways to play this: Either go the blitz rush way, or go the Much and More+Rule by Decree way and win later but riding your card advantage. Most of the times, this goes off round 2, but it's rare that I win by Art of Seduction/Negotiations (done it once, but it's not reliable). Of course Morghulis is this deck's major enemy so you got to plan around it.

funny how our baratheon decks look so similar each format.i'm finishing mine right now and have 50ish cards same.plot exactly same lol!i can never justify summer knight making it with so much gj winter around.i would swap them for 1 edric storm and a 2nd marya.i would also cut a bannerman and a gilly for 2 carrions.a masseys hook for river row,cause you baratheon,cant wait for a turn to rip benefit from it...lastly,a paper shield and a bodyguard for 2 banner bearer.have you tested this irl?people seem to go the long voyage way but i beg to differ.

Yes I have tested it in something like 20 games (or more). I am quite happy with the deck, although it's quite one-dimensional so I get bored with it very easily and quickly.

The good thing is that it either wins or loses fast, so you get time for many games.
