Do you ever want to win fast? Do you like to frustrate people? Then this deck is great!

Basic brotherhood characters that work great together with Baratheons.

STRATEGY:
Dump all power on Berric and just keep attacking and using either Lady Stoneheart as a claim soak or Thoros of Myr/Lomys to save.
Harwin helps for getting event cards and any card you need to adapt to your opponent. Plot cards mess with locations. Summoning season could be swapped for something better but it usually isn't that bad if I need a certain character for the next turn. Even if the opponent gets his best character, there is always Valar to fall back on. This deck was neutral but I changed it to Baratheon because I added Melisandre, Lomys, and Ser Eldon.

WEAKNESSES:
Cards with Infamy. But I got around that with Valar late in the game. He was crushed.

Any tweaks, criticisms, and suggestions are always welcome.

One word! Coldhands!

Are you talking about
Coldhands (RotO) or
Coldhands (THtW)
The first one is pretty expensive and will not be participating in challenges unless by giving him icons with an attatchment.
The second one might work with the low cost and effect. I'll playtest with it. Thanks for the tip.

He means the second one will ruin you if someone else plays it as Beric will lose all his power and attachments if he isn't duped. Also watch out for Ygritte.
I think what Frappy90 meant is that
Coldhands (THtW)
will destroy your deck, and it's very popular right now.

Ah good point. Yes, that would cost me a lot of power. Haven't come across either card yet.
Question: Does the power on Berric count towards the opponent's power total if they take control of that card with
Ygritte (THtW)? Discarded? Or Still count towards my own?

Yes, that would definitely slow the deck down. In my play testing, other Brotherhood characters have a couple of power on them as well from renown and other card affects such as
Gendry (FF) and Anguy the Archer (DB).
Valar Morghulis (Core) would help in the next turn after those cards are played, but playing that would be premature and the loss of power would not help.

Thank you for your input MrDav and Flint
Yes Beric's power would count for your opponent. Mellisandra's Favor also would work to that end, though I'm not sure how many people are playing that.
