Travel causes a late release this time! Gotta get ahead of the crazy combo trend and share one of my older pure HyperViper decks, using Street of Steel and the Kraken banner to try to try to buff him up and let hit him hard. Were those children murdered? Not yet...

Natural born killer: Tyrell Kawaii

Seems that Green is the new Black and everybody is trying to figure out something good out of one of the - allegedly - weakest faction in this game. So here's my personal attempt to try to make Tyrell competetive.
First of all let's make it clear: the biggest problem is that Tyrell cards are not skilled enough, they do not have good things to try to achieve a good attack deck (like Targayren or Lannister) or a good defence deck (Stark, Nightwatch) or a control deck (Baratheon, Martell). So what's left? Rush? Heck no! I'll never play rush. The silly designers of this game gave Tyrell all cards that push towards a good rush but who am I to follow people intentions? I don't trust strangers.
Let's adapt Tyrell cards to my playstyle :3
