Kneel Before HoD! (Top 4, Sheffield Regional 2014)

House of Dreams. Highgarden. What more needs be said.

Joust

So Highgarden is a bad location, but I made it my mission to make it work here. Mainly, I wanted to run Pentoshi Manor as it's a fantastic card, and Highgarden makes the downside of the Manor non-existant. If you remove your character from a single challenge I get to control him for the rest of the game! And woe betide decks built around The Red Viper.

I tried to weave in lots of small synergies here - my favourites like Ser Gregor's Dog, Ashemark and Dragonbone Dagger, for instance; Lion's Gate providing opportunities for trait manipulation fun (and also further offsetting the Pentoshis), making it easier to run the Conspirators and Betrayal at the Wall; even Sitting the Iron Throne, letting me give power to characters to kneel/stand them with Highgarden.

All in all I'd say this deck is surprisingly good. It dies horribly to burn though. HORRIBLY. My TR should be going up sometime in the next week in which I go into detail on how it performed in practice.
