hey guys,

i just put a greyjoy winter deck together and would like to hear what you think about it. the heart of the deck are 3x winter time marauders. sometimes i can stand this guys with support of harlaw and to be a kraken so they can make a lot of damage to non-unique attachmens, locations and characters. for all the other locations and attachments i put in 2x scurvy cutthroat and 2x price of war.
for draw i use 2x sam and 2x iron victory. for fast power i put in 2x assertion of the might 2x wintertime armada and some renown guys. 3x iron mines and 1x the save-maester if the opponent use ugly things like valar.
i think one of the weak points of the deck are int-challanges so i put in 1x bringers of law to defend important cards in my hand and 2x stoaway to give some big guys an int-icon.

here is the deck: http://tzumainn.com/agot/decks/deck.php?current_deck_id=16836

best regards

I cannot find the deck! I think you should publish it.

Any way, for what you explained, I'll give you my Humble opinion ;-)

Intrigue is a weak point against some decks, yes...But I don't think putting in a 3-cost neutral Char is a good choice...I'd add something different...With a deck like this, the first way you have to use to avoid your "limits" is to KILL EVERYTHING on the table by Military and other stuff...Assault of the Kraken is a wonderful example. Put in the more Claim you can handle taking care of average income, but thinkin' about the fact that a couple of 2 claim plot to start can be the end for the oppo...

You should think about:

- BIG set up;

- Immediate high claim;

- Unopposed/Stealth to close.

3 Plots maximum, that's all you need...And Greyjoy have some resilient stuff to get back the game even if it gets too long...But that's not your focus, I suppose.

As a side not, You'd never be afraid to get a Valar with "Pirates" :-)...You should be able to Survive as best as you can to it (I'd suggest EVEN to play it, cause it's a suprising way to close the game when you're near the end)...Yes, you've not CLAIM, but you get unopposed/renown powers.

That's just what I think in general...If I can see the deck, I'll try to tell you something more (as other players here, I hope) ;-)

Bye

EDIT: I cannot delete double posts...

I confirm my suggestions, above...

Anyway, there's no "rule" ;-)

I don't know what do you exactly want from this deck. If you want to rely on Winter (not only for your own stuff, but thinkin' about the difficulties that the oppo might have in building a countermeasure), I'd keep down the AVERAGE character cost.

Following my previous suggestions, I'd add more chars, pull out some location and a couple of attachments.

Less choices, but more speed and consistancy. I guess it's the best thing to do with Greyjoy, right now (I'm just talkin' about GREYJOY WINTER concepts...I run a more "heavy" Greyjoy which relies on Stealth and milling and that's pretty different).

Hope this make sense.

If you wanna talk in depth about the deck, just post...Here I am! ;-)
