First Greyjoy Attempt

By Rydo72, in 4. AGoT Deck Construction

My mate and I have decided to branch out from the core set and so we've ordered between us the 3 current expansions and a few chapter packs, namely Return of the Others, Tales from the Red Keep and Tower of the Hand. I'm a big Greyjoy fan in the books and have been looking forward to playing with them for a while. My friend is a big Stark fan and he plans on building a Tully deck with the LOW expansion. We play only casually so not looking for any tournament advice. Seeing as he has so many more stark cards on hand than I do for Greyjoy, we've agreed to build a 50 card rather than 60 deck until we amass more cards between us. With that in mind, this is my attempt at a Greyjoy deck:

I get the feeling the first thing people will tell me is "Get rid of the White Book. Greyjoy definitely has no need for it" I can understand this completely, but I thought that if I used Summoning Season first turn to get a kingsguard if I failed to get one in setup, I feel that I would have sufficient defensive capabilities to offset the Agenda's disadvantage - but hey, I'm an inexperienced noob, what do I know? lengua.gif Also, I'm just trying to come up with a fun idea based on the cards I have available.

If I manage to get a Distinguished Boastwain out on setup, i reckon it would give me an early advantage seeing as I highly doubt my friend's tully deck will have many shadow cards in it. From then on, just concentrate on pushing forward with Army crest characters.

I know many experienced players may look at this deck and find it fairly poor, but can anyone make some suggestions based on the expansions/chapter packs we currently own?
