The idea with this deck is to remove your opponent's options.

Blank your opponents cards with:
Nightmares x3
Meera Reed x3
Frozen Moat x3
Frozen Solid x3
Freezing Rain x2

The minor aspects of this deck are Ally Control, Canceling opponents triggered effects and Searching through your deck to stack your hand.

The plots i must admit are rather strange i have 3 duel claim to make up for the Valar and because i am only running 1 white raven i have decided to use Regroup to be safe and keep the season in my favor.

Two plots that i have decided to use that are not seen often are Winter Festival and The Minstrel's Muse i find they work best together as a combo. That's 6 power just by winning dominance and flipping a new plot. It can easily win you close games.

My other reason to run these two plots is that with most control decks they are lack luster in the early portion of the game and running those plots can catch you back up or give you a lead.

If you choose not to run them i would probably run fear of winter to act as a card to return Meera back to the shadows and also it does not harm you that much because a lot of your characters are either 3 cost or shadows.

*Another option for plot's is Summoning or Building season to get out Arya or Harrenhal / Hidden Chambers depending on your hand.

What you need to watch out for are event heavy decks because you don't have that many cancels.

If you were to change the character list in any way i would suggest putting in 2 more Arya's because that basically is a save and will proc Meeras effect so your can use her again.

One fear i have with this deck is that it wont have enough income. Feel free to rework the income portion of this deck and use that cards you like.

(For example i know some people who prefer Gods Woods over Fiefdoms and some players who prefer not to use Narrow Sea at all)

If you have any suggestions that you feel would make the deck better feel free to comment. If i used any illegal cards be sure to let me know.

Meera and Kings of Winter are both on the joust restricted list. Unfortunately.

Hey Thanks again with the heads up. I think then ill remove Kings of Winter and trade off with House of Dreams and get Harenhall or StormDancer.
That's not a bad idea. I'd probably go with Harrenhal rather than Storm Dancer.
