TLV Aggro rush to prompt early Valar from opponent, but this deck is really TLV Asshai Holy Hand Control with Fiery Kiss Dale Seaworth recursion. Supported by the Smith, Renly (KotS) and Dale aid in bounce-back after the Valar. Confession+Altar of Fire = top decking for opponents. Weak on Military, but Lineage/Legacy, Power of Faith and Shadow Enchantress provide mil icon boosts. Desperate Measures keys well with the recursion tools: Mel's Scheme, Dale Seaworth and To Be a Stag.

Curious: has running every version of Melisandre worked so far?

this is a fun splash deck and I've found that I'm rarely unhappy with the version I've played.. if I need a specific version I can fetch it up with Herald or wait until I draw an alt dupe.. Plus, I don't have x3 of RotO Mel which is what Asshai rush really needs.

I've made a slimmer 60-card version with Val and the Dale Seaworth/Fiery Kiss/Blackwater Bay combo is much more effective now... in fact, it even pays off to Fiery Kiss Val during Marshalling phases as well! (She goes to the discard pile after rising from the dead and then you can fetch her and Dale during the Mel's Scheme turn, during which you should have already pulled your Narrow Seas/Seats of Power already from the discard pile. :)
You'd need to Fiery Kiss Val in the Draw Phase as she doesn't hit the discard pile until the end of the phase in which she's resurrected. And you know you can only play characters from the discard pile during Mel's Scheme?

Yep -- the scheme I outlined takes place over two to three turns.

The idea is that you Fiery Kiss Val during the Marshalling phase to unexpectedly trigger her ability x3. Then, next round, you Mel's scheme in order to marshall her (plus any dupes in the discard pile or in your hand.) This gives me twice as many targets for Fiery Kiss.

You can't play Val through Mel's Scheme. Baratheon characters only.
You also can't Fiery Kiss Val either! Ah, I was such a newbie back then.... :)
