Went 4-2 in Finnish Regionals Joust. Baratheon Maester-powered control with combined card advantage from both draw and recursion, with selected power-gain elements to help push for the win and plot-shenanigans for dirty tricks. Only lost (twice) to the same Stark Maester deck that won the Tourney.

Awesome deck. I had the dubious honour of playing against this abomination on OCTGN once, didn't I? Or was that another version?

Hmm, I think you've possibly played against both the original control Maester-build (pre-FAQ) and the Noble deck that had the silly recursion machinery used here. A week before our Regionals I got the traditional "I can't run anything non-Baratheon" -jitters, and using the Dark Arts (of deck necromancy) took those two decks and melded them together to obtain something that was (surprisingly) much better than either of them were separately.

The end result felt fluid and extremely fun to play, and I didn't get at all bored or frustrated with it during the Tourney, which is probably a first for me... :)
Yeah, now that you mention it, it was the Noble variant where you tried out that preposterous, stupid Asshai Initiate on me. ;)
Such a cute and cuddly card that. Especially the lovable (or depending on POV, horrible) things it does with Melisandre's Scheme (RotK) and Royal Entourage (TTotH)... ;)
