So I am quite determined to make a deck, that will revolve around getting as much as possible out of the Drowned Prophet.

I have already made a Greyjoy deck based on this idea. However I can't try it out until October, and then I may post it here to either inspire you (/bragg) or ask for advice.

On the other hand I am not able to test this one deck out, because I don't have some of the important cards I listed. That's why I decided to post it now, so you can help me determine which cards I need to acquire most.

The deck needs some thinning down (I have already cut as much as I could). Same goes to the plot deck.

Here are some fun things this deck should be able to pull off:

1. Go first, kneel all your characters in challenges, then reveal Valar Dohaeris with Rookery or Scheming on the Sand and end the challenges phase with Drowned Prophet (or use Someone Always Tells instead of Valar)

2. Drowned Prophet or Scheming on the Sand can offset text on Focused Offense or Twist of Fate

3. Drop The Viper's Revenge and if opponents leave many characters standing, then play Someone Always Tells during Dominance

4. Jalabhar Xho works well with Drowned Prophet, use Den of the Wolf to repeat Dominance. OR go first, attack, use Den of the Wolf and then Drowned Prophet to attack again before your opponent can declare any challenges (even more fun with To The Spears! or Twist of Fate/Focused Offense to grab the win)

5. Since you reveal plots more often than your opponents you can make them reveal Focused Offense mid game with Varys (try to pull it off on Greyjoy player before he used Rise of the Kraken)

All comments are welcome.

I freaking love the idea of this deck, it must have taken ages to plan out. How has it played out? Also, Varys probably isnt great for this, you need more than one opponent. But very cool!
9 Plot cards?
Wow, I completely forgot about this deck idea, still never actually played it. And it's funny, that you would comment on it today, when I built yet another Drowned Prophet deck, one year later ;)

So 9 plots and 65 cards, probably because I didn't know what to cut, and hoped I would get some suggestions. New restricted list has already solved at least part of the problem for joust :D
