Tournament Quality
The new version of the "shadowdragon" I created some months ago.
same mindset : being an ultimate toolbox being able to tutor the right card at the right time.
After being finalist in the tournament of the Hand in Paris and finalist in my local store, the deck continue to adapt to the new releases !
Enjoy for regional and national season as mine is finished until August ! Where the meta will change a lot certainly !

Comparing to previous versions, this one needed to enter miri.
Lot of testing have been done :
Miri proved to be autoinclude in X3 in this deck as LOTC and various tricks allow you to be able to win alone with her near everytimes who make her a massive weapon / table manager.
This changed the deck neverthless as the gold curve (who was a previous great advantage of the shadowdragon) is now tense and difficult. A third economic plot was needed. Calling was the best shot but not a perfect one.
with an high cost table, the need to protection was more important : 3 blood ritual magic and 2 fire and blood were included and have done an excellent job to ease the match up against the heavily played lannisters and stark. Martell (remove icon than tears) were seen too and BRM was key to victory an impressive number of times. My table were never in danger even on bad showing and few miri or dany were remove from the table !
Last touch of combo : heavy attachements hate : both to metagame some match ups (stark with frozen + milk + lady ! baratheon kneel or martell remove icons) or to remove my own BRM. The pack chosen was impressive and manage to remove near any attachement played every round.
This was an huge advantage in most games.
so in training, the deck was an lannister and stark eaters (most stark not all), have some tense match ups against barath and martell and was easy win against most others decks. whatever, in training, the deck have impressive performances losing only 6 times in 50 or so games.
The deck made 4-1 losing only against an allstar lannister with a perfect start (all uniques lannisters on table by turn 2 !) and making a very slow start. He nevertheless manage to beat some bad match ups (two stark shutdown and one martell control) in rounds and crushed a GJ rush easily in spite of a truly perfect start of the GJ).
In top 8, I was sadly paired against a baratheon deck who made a truly perfect showing (Meli in setup, lot of milk, every turn a rhlor character + 2 filthy + kneel events + all passive grab in dominance Turn 1) the deck merited certainly more but this was a real bad match up showing perfectly so.
I think nightmares should be here to meta some locations. i would recommend -1 f&B and maybe -1 wildling scout ?
A third HJ would be welcomed too but another neutral event is bad :D
Tourney ground was very important to stabilize the economy. This would be a good meta against support the faith who kill the deck at once even if, in my local meta, the plot is not played at all. Consider that as a free bonus so :D
Finally, the stealth options were chosen to make miri more easy to activate but the unbow options would have allow to freely metagame the baratheon match up. So this can be discussed : 1/2 illyrio and 1/2 waking is not a bad move. Yet stealth are more welcomed against stark shutdown and lanni allstar who were the primary targets of my deck so no regret.
Certainly not a perfect deck so feel free to ask or make remarks ! They are all welcomed as I need to continue boosting my deckbuilding and skill level :D !

I played this deck Yesterday night against a Lannister LotC and a Stark fealty and it works pretty well but I think it might need a reset like Wildfire to manage quick pop-up of peeps to avoid being overunned.
What's your feed-back on that?
Thank for your insight and congrats for your performance!
Wildfire or 1st snow were in the first version of the deck just after Paris TM. This was efficient but not that much. Long winter was better for example creating a powerful pressure on a given turn (opponents in general don't defend in the three challenges so this make them doubt or punish them heaily for doing that) and being a far better finisher for a deck that wish to make and win at least 3 challenges by turn.
This is true nevertheless that a reset might be welcomed to manage some hard tables or boost the aggro part.
Yet most of the times, when he was in the deck, wildfire was not played and not necessary. Worse, it hit far more my table than opponent's without cards like BG for example.
As I decided to not go heavy on the aggro part of the deck (as most of the times it didn't manage to eat opponnent tables too much), this was the time i chosed to go for 1 plaza, no long winter or wildfire but try to boost miri tech. This is when scouts and syrio were confirmed in the deck.
This is an option and wildfire is played in most targaryen decks for a reason. Yet targaryen plotlines need heavy choices ! After all, counting is not even in my deck nor building !
One more thing, what about 3 Syrio in place of one + 2 Wildling Scout? Obviously this provides two intrigue peeps for LotC but 3 Syrio pops faster neh?
