| Category: | Baratheon |
| Deck Name: | Smuggler/Tyrell Power Rush |
| Deck Contents: | Total Cards (63) House (1) House Baratheon (Core) x1 Agenda (0) Plot (7) Regroup (KotStorm) x1 Manning the City Walls (CD) x1 The King's Law (KotStorm) x1 Naval Superiority (TGF) x1 Melisandre's Scheme (RotK) x1 Summoning Season (Core) x1 Fortified Position (LoW) x1 Character (25) Ser Davos Seaworth (TGF) x3 Randyll Tarly (AJE) x2 Margaery Tyrell (AToTT) x2 Dale Seaworth (AToTT) x2 Lyseni Pirate (TCC) x3 Fleet from Lys (RotK) x3 Blackcrown Knights (AToTT) x3 River Runner (TGF) x3 Khorane Sathmantes (TCC) x2 Salladhor Saan (EB) x1 Salladhor Saan (TPoL) x1 Location (29) Fury (AJE) x2 King Robert's Chambers (KotStorm) x1 King Robert's Hammer (TBoBB) x2 Stormlands Fiefdoms (KotStorm) x3 Aegon's Garden (Core) x3 Great Hall (KotStorm) x3 Seat of Power (WotN) x3 Huntress (AJE) x2 Oakenshield Port (TPoL) x3 Black Betha (TGF) x1 Shores of the Blackwater (AToTT) x3 Shores of the Mander (AJE) x3 Attachment (3) The King's Ground (IG) x3 Event (6) Nurtured by the Crone (TCC) x3 Favored by the Warrior (AJE) x3 It started off as a knight deck, but since the A Song of the Sea block I noticed an even better way to rush power. The lack of Agenda means I can use the Blackcrown Knights to their fullest potential and grab at least 2 power per challenge with each of them, while I can use Dale Seaworth to cycle Seat of Power and Shores of the Blackwater from my discard pile whenever I need them. Huntress gives Captain/lord characters Renown + melee, while King Robert's Hammer and Fury keep them standing. Most of the naval enhancement characters make full use of Oakenshield Port in order to get 2 more power for a successful challenge, no matter the color and Black Bertha is a nice bonus, giving me duplicates. Constructive criticism is welcomed, as I'm always tuning my decks and hoping for the best. As far as a casual deck to play with my friends, I like it so far. |

Stannis Baratheon (VM)
Robert Baratheon (Core)
Melisandre (RotO)
Regarding plots running summoning season is very dangerous and I usually never run that plot outside of Melee. Also your theme is around vigilant I would try winning initaive and go first each time. you know vigilant only works on attack right? Also I don't see how fortified position helps you here either. Just my 2 cents =D
Stannis Baratheon (Core)
Ser Eldon Estermont (MotM)
Banner for the Storm (CtB)
Melisandre (RotO)
Robert Baratheon (KotStorm)
Make an Example (PotS)
get those unopposed with stannis and estermont reap the benefits with melisandre, play extra power with robert, continuously stand them with banner for the storm and gain that extra power with make an example
also with the decent cost reducers run the agenda with
Shireen Baratheon (VD)
and get your extra power for renown
I've built a Smuggler/Tyrell deck and run the Refugees as restricted alongside Ser Davos Seaworth (TGF) - vigilant little no-cost Tyrells who work in two challenges and then tend to stick around as you're winning dominance with your knelt sumgglers.
Providing you can stand Randyll Tarly again and get two challenges in with him then yep, the Knight of Flowers (TftH) and Blackcrown Knights (AToTT) are excellent.
Too many locations by about 9, not enough characters (you have about the average of a Kotth jumper deck) which isn't good when a majority are either unique or costly (4 or higher) meaning set ups and post valar recovery will be poor and if you don't hit those dupes claim soak will be sparse. Since you don't have a restricted refugees would work and help boost intrigue count
6 cards that require 2 influence and you 4 influence in the deck total?
It looks like you have no card advantage engine and your playing characters that make you discard cards as a cost which means resets will end your game about plot 2-3
Pretty much exactly what I do. Use The Art of Diplomacy to give power icons to Davos & Salladhor (and The Stormlands to ensure the Power Struggle trait and therefore Starve for Your King works every time). Then keep The Songs of Bael the Bard to give Randyll Tarly the Tyrell trait.
The deck can be a bit inconsistent (never too sure if its a Tyrell or a Smuggler deck) but is really effective a lot of the time. May post a decklist tomorrow.
Great minds think alike
Though there are so many good power struggle plots that i don't really need or want the stormlands....if i don't have anymore pstruggle plots in the plot deck i'll probably use starve to fuel the big armies or fury
