First of all, I have to say that in our meta we're not using cards from LotR pack and from all chapters after Secrets of Oldtown set yet.

This deck is just a trying to use Alliance agenda. I played with this deck only 2 times, 1 - win, 1 - lose

The main strategy is to protect noble characters from killing (The Power of Blood x2 and Greyjoy saves), from events (Formal Escort) and from STR lowering (Flaming Sword).

Main characters:
- Balon Greyjoy - king noble with renown
- Red Viper - tricon noble with renown and immunity
- Euron Crow's Eye - not-noble but renown tricon blocked events while attacking
- Formal Escort - since it's a noble-protection character from nasty events like Nightmares, Lethal Counterattack or Forever Burning

Support:
- _each_ Alchemist's Shop gives good improvements to my characters with weapon attachments;
- Dorne helps to low my cards' (not only characters!) cost;
- The Iron Mines - another save from killing;
- Baelor Blacktyde - noble, has stealth and blocks opponents' events;
- Gylbert Farwind noble and gives little choke effect;
- Kingsmoot Hopeful (noble) is a nice pair with Rusted Sword (the best variant is the KH+RS with the help of the Alchemist's Shop)
- Arianne Martell (noble) has stealth and rise my claim (Rusted Sword will be a good attachment for her too)
- Ser Arys Oakheart - renown

Cons:
- the agenda itself :) since it gives a solid profit to opponents
- 4 limited cards and too many events low the setup's efficiency;
- lack of draw which is a common problem for Greyjoy
- too many cards in deck (which cards could be dropped?)

Any critics/advices/thoughts are welcome!
