| Deck Name: | Lannister Maesters & Trait Manipulation |
| Deck Contents: | Total Cards (60) House (1) House Lannister (Core) x1 Agenda (1) The Maester's Path (GotC) x1 Plot (7) At the Gates (GotC) x1 Valar Morghulis (Core) x1 Alliance (PotS) x1 Retaliation! (ASoSilence) x1 Breaking and Entering (LotR) x1 Frey Hospitality (LotR) x1 Game of Thrones (LotR) x1 Character (33) Mountain Refugee (RoW) x3 Lannisport Moneylender (LotR) x3 Carrion Bird (ASoS) x2 Oldtown Scholar (FtC) x2 Men With No King (SA) x2 Varys (SaS) x2 Samwell Tarly (TRS) x2 Maester Aemon (Core) x1 Tommen Baratheon (SA) x1 Joffrey Baratheon (PotS) x1 King Joffrey's Guard (TWot5K) x1 Cersei Lannister (LotR) x2 Ser Amory Lorch (LotR) x1 Grand Maester Pycelle (TRS) x1 Qyburn (SaS) x1 Ser Arys Oakheart (PotS) x2 Ser Jorah Mormont (WLL) x1 Daario Naharis (WLL) x1 Old Nan (BoRF) x2 Ser Kevan Lannister (LotR) x1 Maester Luwin (FtC) x1 Location (11) Shadowblack Lane (Core) x1 Street of Sisters (Core) x1 The Goldroad (Core) x3 Lion's Gate (ASoS) x2 The Iron Throne (LotR) x1 Lannisport Brothel (Core) x1 Nagga's Hill (ODG) x2 Attachment (7) Copper Link (GotC) x3 Bronze Link (FtC) x1 Steel Link (TIoR) x1 Black Iron Link (MotA) x1 Valyrian Steel Link (HtS) x1 Event (9) Dissension (QoD) x3 Questioned Claim (AE) x3 A House Divided (WLL) x2 Ill Tidings (IG) x1 I've been kicking this idea around for a while. The goal is to discard, discard, discard - from the opponent's hand and field. I'm worried that it might be too expensive, especially with the out of house cards, but they're all necessary. The intrigue and power icons are well represented, but military could be a liability. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Some cards that just missed the cut were: Gold Cloaks, Kingsguard Squire, Traitorous Crow, Royal Entourage, Maester Creylen, Lady Genna, Robb Stark, Viserion, Hollow Hil, High Ground, Head of the Dwarf, and Condemned by the Council. Would you cut anything for one of those? Thanks! |

You could run Pentoshi Manor (AHM) and You've Killed the Wrong Dwarf! (Core) as a means to stall, and also power the Lion's Gate.
Men Without a King seems out of place, I would probably cut that, unless there's some crazy tech here I'm missing.
Also, because of the timing window, you can't create a target for Varys unless you use something lasting like Rhaegar's Harp (BoRF), or hit a printed ally. (Just in case you didn't know, either way I would probably just run 1 copy.)
Maybe try this set of events?
You've Killed the Wrong Dwarf (small council+stall+power for lion's gate)
Condemned by the Council (Just to cover your bases + small council)
Retreat (Recycle your trait guys)
Dissention
Execution (.. if you can fit it, but it's an easy trigger in Lannister and can hit a lot of stuff)
I would probably go without Nagga's Hill, too many restrictions and contingencies at 4 gold for you. I would run Golden Tooth Mines (Core) in their place to make your deck more efficient.
At 4 gold, you alternatively run Hugor Hill (VM) and keep the characters you steal around.
I would max out the use of Sam. Carrion Bird x3 is great in this deck for Lion's Gate. You could always run Oldtown Raven, since these draw off of Sam as well
Those are the things that stand out to me the most.
Men With No King and Nagga's Hill will probably be the first cards to go if they don't work out. I may have tried to do too many tricks all at once.
Hugor Hill, Retreat and Execution are all good suggestions as well. Thanks again.
