[GJ]: Old Way after FAQ 5.2 (LMB)

Out of interest, what made you choose LMB rather than Escort?

The way I see it, Escort generally affects a lot of cards in one go, whilst LMB is likely to only affect 1 challenge (assuming Great Wyk isn't in play...). It works better if you have a good number of characters on the board.

However, LMB does give you the chance in any challenge, even if your character base is all knelt out or otherwise unable to participate in challenges. It works better even when you don't have so many characters on the board.

So when choosing restricted I'd consider which of these 2 things is the greater priority.

I suppose my only other question is what your backup plan is should your locations be removed/stolen/discarded. You don't have Supported by the Smith, Iron Lore etc, which only leaves the Goodbrothers for protection.

Thanks for your comment!

Maybe it was a thematic and experimental choice. Most people suggest to run Naval Escort. I like your reasoning for the choice!

Yes you are right - that´s a lack of protection - especially for the expensive locations like like LMB or LIV. Normally I would play them again or protect them with Gormond Goodbrother, dupes or Outfitted for War. Maybe I should add First Mate (- 1x Asha).
 
I´m still not sure about the restricted card choice for the Agenda. You may have problems with card draw (which is an arguement for a river plot deck) but it synergizes very well with Victarion´s Schemes and Rise of the Kraken.
To support the unopposed mechanic I really would like to add Support of Harlaw or The Knight but don´t know which cards to dump.

I think swapping a Captain of the Iron Fleet for a Support of Harlaw makes most sense as this doesn't affect your setup. I'd then just add the Knight and have a 61 card deck for now, you can see what doesn't work and choose something to lose later.

I wouldn't go rivers, you lose too much in challenges and the opponent can often predict your plots. Also I speak as someone who uses Outwit in most played plot deck atm.

No Murenmure?

I´ll swap the card as you suggested and simply add The Knight.

Normally Outwit isn´t played in my meta very much so Rivers are a reliable draw. But when changing to Rivers the deck looses a lot of pressure.

Of course Murenmure is a very good card but which other card should I dump for him? Maybe I would prefer another Harrenhal for him anyway (since I got Great Wyk for a bit of location control).
