Built for Melee

I liked the idea of the Brotherhood cards that buff each other if there is no power on your house card. I also wanted to make a Lanister deck, so I focused on Infamy cards to get the power from the house card. Also Infamous (event) can be used if needed.

Then I saw Daven GotC and thought that would be a good win condition to work with.

By manipulating the plots and using Tywin Core and other income characters for extra income I will try and limit my opponents ability in marshalling and try to win by Daven's ability.

Widow's wail seems great here too, I built this deck last night and had a game this moring, had Widows wail on Tywin Duplicated and was ably to draw a heap of cards through his ability as all power went to him with infamy.

Into the lists works well in this deck to get power on to either Daven or House Clegane Outlaw and can be buffed by gossips & lies or The Lion's cunning if needed?

I am only new to deckbuilding and would appreciate your input.

I really liked the idea of this deck, so built it with a few tweaks (dropped a few of the locations, added
Devious Intentions (BoRF)...try it on
Anguy the Archer (DB) ;)
). Also, threw an Outwit in the Plot deck as you can get up to having quite a few Learned Characters, to hopefully stop a Valar. :)

I like it. I've recently built a similar one on another site, but had over looked Anguy. I think your plots could use some work though, summoning season should be in there for sure, Beric is just too good and you want to get him out early. Likewise, if you go more Beric centric, the prince that was promised is very good.

One thing to keep in mind, Widow's Wail kind of works against Daven, since the Wail doesn't grant infamy it has infamy itself (and its ability triggers off its own power, not the power of the character who wields it).
