The Maester convention does just that. HoD for Dorne makes all the Maesters cheaper. Hollow Hill and Sam + Oldtown raven can help you hit the draw cap and play a stupid amount of cards in the first turn or 2. Negotiations refills my hand. You never know when you'll need one of the cancel cards, but they are great at making sure your Citadel Law goes off without a hitch. Most of the time I can get 1 extra plot via Citadel Law by or on turn 3 and seal the game. This is one the few decks I've played that can outrush Bara Knights/TLV. |

If I get one of the 3 Oldtown Raven (TIoR), I don't have to pay any OOH penalty. I love kneeling Dorne and Oldtown Raven to drop Wendamyr OOH for 0 gold with several Learned characters on the board... and if Hollow Hill is out, I draw a card.
City Besieged won't hit me till plot 4 and I hope to have a big enough board presence by that point that it wouldn't matter. Battle for the Shield Islands could be bad, but so far the Greyjoys and Starks running that effect have lost intrigue challenges to me in the Epic phase so I stole it back.
Search and Detain on Turn 1 can ruin your day. However in that game I had put in Valar Morguhlis for A Time for Ravens. Thus, I was able to Citadel Law (MotA) into The Art of Seduction (LotR) on turn 1, sacrifice Archmaester Marwyn (MotA) to trigger it again on turn 2. Valar on Turn 3 (saving my Conclave via Maester Lomys (CbtC)) and win turn 4. Admittedly, this was luck, but it let me know I don't have to give up if I lose Dorne.
I hadn't really thought about it. Going with all the 0 and 1 cost cards, I can often setup 4 cards not counting Dorne and then storm out of the gate.
Can you think of a good agenda to try while keeping The Conclave (CbtC) as my Restricted card?
Another option, with all the unique characters is maybe Quentyn Martell (VD)?
edit
Nevermind, you'd be better with NO agenda than those options.
I was think possibly Bungled Orders or Forgotten Plans for the Melee swap. As for the Joust swap i cant think of a plot card that could even come close to refilling your hand!
