Accelerate the plots to get multiple resets. Protect Bran. Beric stays out there and you have constant characters in him, arya, lady stoneheart, and ser kyle condon.

I dont know whether to utilize the kindly man and the house umber berserkers combo or use the brotherhood agenda. I'm going to try it both ways.

maester cressen is in the deck because my opponents use milk of the poppy a lot.

I really like the idea of this deck. I've been working on a similar one myself. I would offer just a little suggestion.
Since you have no season manipulation, I would consider replacing Tides of War with Bungled Orders. Valar Doharis also seems dangerous on account of if Arya or Stoneheart are discarded from play, they can't be saved with their abilities.
Should you replace Valar Doharis with Mad King's Legacy (Core), you could switch Maester Cressen out with Maester Lomys, who would be of benefit as an extra layer of saving. With the speed at which you can theoretically cycle, you can burn off Milk of the Poppy pretty reliably I would think.
To balance out the cost increase of him over Cressen, I'd replace the two Smalljohns with Orphaned Recruit (OSaS), who in addition to being extra saveable power-holders, also have the benefit of stealing power.
I totally get why At the Gates is in there, but if you're planning on cycling through your plots fast, it's gonna be an annoyance after the first round, perhaps there's something with a more useful 'when revealed' effect so you waste less of the plots you cycle right past. Something along the lines of Relentless Persecution (DB) (since you use almost exclusively unique characters), or Fear of Winter (BtW) (since you can use your one card to reveal a new plot card for yourself and thus circumvent the restriction for yourself).
Lengthy suggestions I suppose...I get carried away.
I appreciate the lengthy suggestion. :D You make some interesting points. I have actually already switched to Bungled Orders and was considering taking out Valar Doharis so it's good to hear someone else say that. Good call on the At the Gates plot. It loses it's usefulness quite quickly. I'm still working out some of the problems this deck has but it's coming along quite well. More suggestions are appreciated!
I suppose the kindly man is in there since he is a deadly tricon? I personally think its a wasted slot, easily burnt down or V-Bladed or discarded since he's an ally. I understand 1 copy but not 3. Also Valar dohaeris isn't that great unless you have a way to keep your opponents characters standing like icon removal or something of that nature. worst case scenario you end up having your mad huntsman returned to hand. But if there is any piece of advice I could give you it would be put in 2 copies of widows watch.

Sadly, MKL is Targ only. Ill Tidings (IG) is a good event for attachment hate and additional card draw in a Brotherhood deck. Though you may need more maesters to make sure you can use it.
I always forget MKL is Targ only. Ill Tidings is a great card in a brotherhood deck tho. Pretty much necessary thanks to Slander and Lies and Milk of the Poppy.
The big danger with kindly man is him getting killed before you want him to, as soon as that happens you lose your brotherhood agenda, and suddenly you're way more vulnerable with no immortal Beric to bank your power on.

Very true on the Slander and Lies and Milk. However, the way I understood the character->agendas was that they could not replace an agenda. So if you already have an agenda and he dies, he just goes to your dead pile.
The card doesn't say "If you have no agenda" it just says when he dies attach him to your house card as your only agenda, meaning he would erase all previous ones and become your new agenda. At least so far as I understand it. Anyone can clarify?

There have been a few threads about it on the FFQ forums, here is one I found: http://www.fantasyfl...=4&efidt=660233

Since it doesn't say it replaces your agenda, it can't do that. But it does say as your "only" agenda. If you already have one, it can't be your only one and will be sent to the dead pile.
