Just a fun deck that uses Sand Snakes but doesn't revolve around No Use for Grief and 3 influence.

The deck includes a fair amount of unique characters 14 (10 of which are not already Sand Snakes) and the goal is to grant them the SS trait through the copper link and Blood of the Viper attachment. Once that is accomplished A Nest of Vipers offers a way to gain a tremendous amount of power in a single turn (provided Dorea Sand is in play and active or on the Game of Thrones plot turn).

With trait manipulation I decided to splash Jorah for his excellent discard ability and a few Dissensions to help keep control of the board. Also included a Maester of War for another way of giving Arianne a MIL icon.

As a Martell player I don't believe in running many dupes so only Dorea is 3x and Obella is 2x because their abilities are so useful.

This is made as a joust deck and it can work really well provided your opponent hasn't seen it before and doesn't know what to expect. I've gotten a few turn 2 wins with it because of the high power claim in renown. Once you play an opponent a few times though they can easily play around it if they are winning initiative. May need to include To the Spears just to make sure you don't kneel to attack for a turn.

Deck could likely do really well for a melee since it won't look like much of a threat but could then explode very quickly.

For a melee I would likely change:
Informed Acolyte for Maester of the Sun
Outwit for Counting Favors
Valar Morghulis for Wildfire
