This is my first attempt at building a custom deck. I wanted to build a stand alone Night's Watch deck. I've added a Stannis and his Calvary, Melisandre and Wolves of the North becuase they fit this deck thematically. I'm new to the game and have yet to play this game against a human opponent, only myself. My strategy is to use locations to lower the cost of Night's Watch characters, use plot cards to allow additional power, military challenges, use Superior Claim and Make an Example to claim additional power for your house after challenges.

Looking it over there really isn't a reason for you to run this with the neutral house. Running it out of Bara makes far more sense so you can avoid the gold penalty all together on those cards.

I think you are going to have trouble with your locations. Den of the Wolf needs 3 influence to work and you only have 3 influence producing cards. It will be very unlikely you'll get them all out and be able to use it. The event The Feast of the Crows will have the same problem.

Remember that Castle Black and The Gift are unique so even though you are running 2x of each you'll only ever have 1x of each out.

I agree with Darksbane about running it out of Baratheon, i also think your going to have a problem with gold costs, i understand running 3 crossroads so u can get the influence but u might want to consider running a roseroad or a roberts chamber.
Thanks for the advice Darksbane and jackmerridew. I didn't even think of just running it with a Baratheon house card, that does make more sense. I'll change out the house card, take out a few of the duplicated locations and add a few more gold and influence providing locations. Any advice on plot cards and events? Thanks again for the advice. ~ Chris

Darksbane: I also noticed that Yoren's Task is linking to the wrong card.
Thanks for the heads up on Yoren's Task, should be fixed.
Direct Assault (KotStorm) or Support of the Kingdom (Core) can be nice to steal some locations.
Compelled by the Crown (CtB) can make it easier for you to meet some of the conditions of your +power events

Your plots look OK except you would benefit greatly from at least one 2 claim plot. I'd take out Marched to the wall for Fear of Winter (BtW), Regroup (KotStorm) or The Power of Arms (Core) instead
