As I said in my "LCG thread" in general discussion, I had this weird idea.
It's simple: abuse of "Bones of a child". Take a couple of turn to build up the lock and leave your oppo at "0 claim".
It's simple to say, hard to work, but it's not impossible. I've not tested it yet, but I'm going to do it in a couple of days.
LITTLE ANALYSIS
I need Summer, cause I need cards and gold. It may sound strange to you, but I don't rely a lot on influence, that's the reason why I preferred "Temple of the Graces" instead of the Fieldoms. I need some influence for a couple of "ambushes" and Xaro's Home.
I have some recursion/tutor interactions like "Lady Daenerys Chambers", "Street waif" (amazing and understimated here), "Red Warlock", "Xaro Xaon Daxos" and "little stuff" like "Refugee of the plains", "Disgruntled mercenary" (yes, I like them a LOT) and Illyrio's man, just to get rid of the well known "slow" set up.
I like the "general chaos feeling" of this deck, with lots of stuff that goes and comes back (attachment recursion, disgrlunteds, Khal, titan's bastard...). That creates some distraction and that's fine to me ;-)
I play "Dragon Sight" most because I like its psychological factor and the Bones for the basic "combo".
I have a bunch of events (To be a Dragon to get back important chars on top).
I have a little "block" of cards for "weenie burning": 2x Drogon, 2x Flame-kissed and Forever burning.
I draw a lot with summer, I've a couple of good search in the plot deck and some in the deck itself, so I've not lots of troubles to get the cards I need...The hard thing is to play it well and keep them on the table (I guess...)...
I play a "crazy" plot: Counting favors...I put it in to "speed up" the draw (I guess is the FIRST plot), in order to get the stuff early.
That's pretty much it.
Here's the list.

Thanks in advance.
