Get the Dragons in play with Dany. Use Dragon Lore to help with getting Balerion the Black in play or others. This deck has been play tested a lot. In joust it runs well. In melee it dominates. I have recently added the long lances as my restricted to help stand after a Balerion splash or before i get Dany on the board. Enjoy.

You have two restricted cards for melee....make an example and superior claim.
I should have said that I pull make an example out for melee. For joust it sits at 63 cards, Melee 62.
Fair enough. I am wondering if you've ever tried Rhaegar's Harp in the deck instead of Blood of the Dragon. It's way cheaper and does double duty in terms of making a character a Maester in a pinch for Dragon Lore. Also, notice that Dany's ability doesn't work with Blood of the Dragon since they have to be participating to become a Dragon.....and by the time they are participating they have to be knelt :(

You are right on the money about Blood of the Dragon. I try to use it on Khal Drogo when I can and not Dany. Just for synergy with the dragons effects on that one turn. I like to use hall of Dragons with Dany that way she doesn't kneel at all on attack. I have stayed away from Rhaegar's harp, although by my name you would think otherwise, only because it gives all traits and it makes for an easy target for ally/refugee/whatever hate. I like the idea, but just don't want to give an opponent an opportunity that they wouldn't have otherwise.

Wow, Blood of the Dragon on Khal Drogo is nasty, I like it, lol

Drogo gets nasty, and a whole lot of fun when he is duped up.
You have just 3 Maesters? What if you don't get them for Dragon Lore? If you're planning to search them via At the Gates, why not Archmaester Marwyn instead of Aemon?
I like Aemons save ability. That is the simplest answer. On setup I almost always get a maester or dragon lore, so I haven't worried too much about it. Then I use my plot to get the other half. Then drop in dragons.
How about when your attachments be discarded? like for example, the Blood of the Dragon on Khal Drogo, after its discarded from play, the range of killing a character will be to lower to 2 STR to 0? and I dont see you put the location LADY DAENERYS'S CHAMBERS.. why is that? in case an attachments be discarded?
The reason is I only use a few attachments. Really the only one that I can't afford to lose is dragon lore. I run three of them. it helps with the normal dragons, but mainly is used for getting Balerion in. Once he is in I don't need to worry about it as much.

I have also toyed with this deck a bit and made a TLV version of it with Dany's Chamber because it runs a few more attachments. I will have to post it soon.

I guess you have never come across Horn of Dragons in your play testing/meta! As a Greyjoy player it really messes with dragon heavy decks!
I have established your deck but not that 100% i still dont have The Red Keep and Hall of Dragons, instead, i put Lady Daenerys's Chambers x 1 , Meereen Tourney Grounds x 1 and Aegon's Hill x 1. And Im crossed between Valar Morghulis and An Empty Throne on my Plot Deck.. any comment this? Btw, whats TLV version?

I have a regular opponent that uses a INTRIGUE/KNEEL (Cersei's, Mycella -LoTR, Brothels, Enemy Enforcer, C's attendant, Penny) - The Power Behind the Throne agenda Lannister build, and any advise how to win? LOL, :D so far, i have only won once.. :(
At night they howl is a great way to re-stand your dragons. Against Lannister you want to hit them with the double military storm of swords plot, and use Drogons direct kill affect. Just make sure you use only dragons and have a couple out on the board or make dragons using Hall of dragons, or blood of the dragon. If done right you can kill three characters at least on one turn. That will slow down their kneel ability some.

As far as plots: Currently how this deck is arranged I run it without Valar. It is meant to be a fast deck. The Extra power challenge with an empty throne plot is brutal when you have three power challenges with non kneeling dragons on the board. With some renown through card affects that plot phase can net you anywhere from 6-12 power depending on what you have on the board. It takes you from looking week to winning fast. At least that is my experience.
Is The +6 STR while participating using blood of dragon conflicts to the response ability of KHAL DROGO? It says after you win power in which KD participated, so challenges resolves already thus making KD STR back to 3? Am I correct? So instead of putting Dragons Strikes, I put Forever Burning to use it with KD.. whats TLV?
TLV is the agenda The Long Voyage. I waited on posting it for fear that a new faq would drop before nationals. It is now errated to read neutral house faction only. So no real need to post it now. Also means I have to tweak that deck back down to 60 cards :(
How would you defend against Valar Mo here?

All the dragons are unique so if they die.... you can't play them anymore
Running triples of the Dragons, and Khal, and Dany you run a great chance of getting dupes right away or very fast. I get hit with Valar all the time and it usually isn't that critical. If played right you will lose some dupes maybe one or two. maegi's promise also helps with the death thing.

I like Aemons save ability. That is the simplest answer. On setup I almost always get a maester or dragon lore, so I haven't worried too much about it. Then I use my plot to get the other half. Then drop in dragons.


What good is Maester Aemon (Core) save response when you have no other Night's Watch characters in the deck, or am I missing something?
He saves himself. Its claim soak.

i'm currently building this deck. what would be the updated 60-card version?
I haven't tweaked this deck in awhile. I am working to revamp it so it is more brutal in Joust. Currently it is absolutely lethal in Melee, but in Joust the early rush decks will give it some troubles. If you are looking to cut down to 60 I would remove a copy of Khal, Dragon Strikes, and Blood of the Dragon. The attachment is nice, but I find I rarely get it into play.
