Starting hand should have No Use for Grief, use the mulligans.

If your still unlucky use the Threat from the east to discard first and pick 3 new cards. I chose Thread From the East instead of Counting favours for its high initiative and extra gold. Its also useful on opponents who have can't afford discards.

Summoning Season either came before, in order to get The Red Viper and marshal cards you did not want to loose in the 3 card discard from TftE, or after to get TRV if he still didn't show up.

From there I usually use the threat of my NUfG to keep my TRV alive and attacking, getting renown power and tapping opposing characters. If he dies get the sand snakes out.

I keep Valar Morgulis as a back up to kill TRV and to clear the bord of key opposing characters. With the Duplicates I can take Valar Morgulis on my Sand Snakes.

Red Vengeance and He calls it Thinking damage control. As I use them up The Prince's Plans brings them back to my hand.

With this Deck I keep my opponents weary of attacking me, while I look for a late game win.

Is Obara Sand (TWoW) really that good, to use her three times in the deck?!

The deck revolves around No use for grief. You can use Obara to mulligan to get sure you have no use for grief in your starting hand and use summoning season to get viper's out on turn 1. Additionnaly, she comes into play with all her dupes with no use for grief. If your opponents did not include Wildfire in his deck and you can actually play No use for grief on turn 1, you do not really care about having other characters.
you need a nest of vipers
